myScheme’s own wording, reproduced in full. Where it is thin, that is the finding, and the completeness checks are below.

What this is

The "Subsidy Scheme for Self-help Groups of Minorities" aimed at empowering minority women by providing financial support to Self-Help Groups (SHGs). The scheme offers a subsidy to SHGs engaged in various self-employment activities, promoting economic self-reliance among minority women.

In detail

The "Subsidy Scheme for Self-help Groups of Minorities" was launched by the Minorities Welfare Department, Government of Karnataka, and implemented by the Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation. The scheme provides a subsidy of 50% of the unit cost or a maximum of ₹2,00,000/- to the self-help groups of the minority community to engage in various types of self-employment activities and make them economically self-reliant, on the loans obtained from various financial institutions recognized by the Nationalized/Scheduled Bank/RBI. An SHG is to make fixed savings and provide internal lending to the members of the group as per requirement from the savings amount of the SHG.

Who qualifies

  • The women in the Self-Help Groups (SHGs) should belong to the minority community.
  • All SHG members must be permanent residents of Karnataka.
  • The number of women in the Self-Help Group should be between 10 and 20.
  • Only one member per family is allowed in a women’s Self-Help Group.
  • The family income of the members of the women’s Self-Help Group should not exceed ₹6,00,000/-.
  • The age of the members of the women’s Self-Help Group should be between 18 and 55 years.
  • The women’s Self-Help Group must be registered with the Deputy Registrar.
  • Members of the Self-Help Group or their family members should not be employees of the State/Central Government.
  • Members of the Self-Help Group or their family members should not have availed of any loan or subsidy from the corporation in the last 5 years, except for the Arivu or foreign education loan schemes.
  • Members of Self-Help Groups should not be receiving support from the corporation.
  • The women’s Self-Help Group should hold regular meetings, with at least one meeting per month.
  • Self-Help Groups must be operational for at least 6 months to qualify for a corporation subsidy.
  • Self-Help Groups should maintain adequate bookkeeping records.

What you get

  • Subsidy Amount: 50% of the unit cost or a maximum of ₹2,00,000/- to the self-help groups.

NOTE:

  • The subsidy will be adjusted against the repayment of the loan taken by the SHG from recognized financial institutions.
  • SHGs focusing on good internal loan repayment will be given higher priority for the subsidy.
