What is Udyog Aadhaar Loan?

Traditionally, setting up a new business and getting a startup business loan has been a major challenge in India. Entrepreneurs often have to run from one office to another, getting stuck in time-consuming bureaucratic processes and handling reams of paperwork. 

With the introduction of the Udyog Aadhar, new businesses can now register as a Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) with the government and become eligible for various schemes and incentives on offer.

One among them is the facility to avail of an MSME Udyog Aadhar loan. The loan is disbursed via various government-sponsored channels, banks and financial institutions. Applying for a loan via Udyog Aadhar is simple, the paperwork is minimal, and you do not need to offer any collateral for the loan either.
