Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Perishability & route sales
Product shelf life and distribution routes drive working capital and wastage risk.
Food safety
FSSAI registration/licence and hygiene-ready premises are core—not optional—for bankable food units.

Scheme mechanics
- An official PMEGP sample project profile exists for this activity, so DIC/KVIC and bank officers can benchmark your file against a known template.
- PMEGP supports new micro-enterprises with capital expenditure—not refinancing of an already subsidised unit.
- Confirm education and other eligibility conditions against the latest PMEGP guidelines for your cost and sector.
What bankers typically probe for this idea
- Bankers look for outlet coverage, daily offtake estimates, and cold/storage handling if relevant.
- Labour and utility reliability for continuous daily production will be scrutinised.

- Figures are illustrative for discussion, not a sanction estimate.
- Actual margin money and contribution depend on current PMEGP guidelines and implementing agency.
- Land cost is generally excluded from project cost under the scheme.
- Full-capacity revenue is estimated at 2× project cost (₹2.9 L) — adjust it to your own numbers.
Indicative only — actual bank DSCR calculations add back depreciation; treat this as a sense-check, not a bank figure. Verify with your CA/bank before applying.
