(a): State/UT-wise total number of beneficiaries i.e. Interest Subsidy Eligibility Certificates (ISEC) issued to Khadi Institutions (KIs) under ISEC Scheme during the financial year 2020-21 is annexed.
(b): Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) is a statutory body working under the Ministry of MSME, is the nodal agency for disbursement of ISEC. State/Divisional offices of KVIC are making continuous efforts by placing proposals in State Level Bankers’ Committee (SLBC) to extend Bank Finance to the eligible KIs under ISEC scheme.
