How to Apply for Chief Minister Rural Path Vendor Loan Scheme — ₹10,000 Interest-Free Loan

Everything runs through the online Street Vendor Portal.

1. Application and verification: Once you submit the form, the authorities verify your identity and residency.
2. Eligibility check: Your application is assessed against the scheme's criteria — that you are a rural small trader or vendor and that you have not defaulted on an earlier government loan.
3. Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) training: Applicants who clear the eligibility check are directed to EDP training, which must be completed before any loan is released.
4. Bank decision: The final call on the loan rests with the bank, which sanctions it after the training is done, based on your eligibility and the scheme's guidelines.

You will receive an SMS confirmation once your application is submitted, with further communication about training and loan disbursement to follow.
