Small businesses have received a mere Rs 30-40 crore earmarked as 2% subsidy, a year after the government announced the scheme for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) registered to pay goods and services tax (GST).
The Interest Subvention Scheme, announced last November, is meant to provide subsidy on an incremental, fresh term and working capital loans taken from banks for five months in 2018- 19 and 2019-20.
