How to Apply for Goa Self Employment Scheme — ₹15 Lakh Loan for ST Entrepreneurs

Every application passes through more than one layer of scrutiny before a loan is sanctioned.

• Initial screening: the Department of Tribal Welfare first checks that the form has been submitted with all mandatory documents and that the applicant meets the basic criteria.
• Committee review: an internal committee of the Corporation then studies the proposal in depth — how viable the planned self-employment activity is, whether the project's finances are sound, and whether the applicant has the capacity to run the venture. The financial standing of both guarantors, including the Government Servant, is verified at this point.
• Further validation: shortlisted applicants may be called for additional interactions or visited on site so that the details of the proposal can be confirmed.

In deserving cases, the Board of Directors of the Corporation holds the authority to relax certain eligibility conditions, which means a near-miss application is not automatically ruled out.
