Overview
The Shilpi Samridhi Yojana is an artisan-focused credit scheme from Haryana. It is implemented by the Haryana Scheduled Castes Finance and Development Corporation, which functions under the Government of Haryana, and it is aimed at people from the Scheduled Caste community in the state who earn a living from a craft or a small enterprise.
The scheme's purpose is practical: put enough capital in an artisan's hands to start, sustain or grow a micro-enterprise. Rather than handing over one lump sum, it works as a three-part package — a loan, a margin money contribution and a subsidy — so the beneficiary's own share of the project cost comes down.
Projects with a unit cost of up to ₹50,000 are covered. There is no fixed last date; the scheme runs on a rolling basis and applications move through Haryana's Antyodaya SARAL portal, which handles registration, form filling and document upload end to end.

Deadline & timing
Shilpi Samridhi Yojana — ₹50,000 Loan + Subsidy for Haryana SC Artisans accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time. Because rolling programmes can pause without notice, confirm the window is still open on the official site before you start.
What the funding covers
Support under the scheme is delivered as a combination of three components against the same project:
- Loan — available for an economic development project where the unit cost is up to ₹50,000.
- Margin money — a contribution equal to 10% of the project cost, which reduces the amount the applicant has to arrange personally.
- Subsidy — calculated at 50% of the project cost, subject to a ceiling of ₹10,000.
Together these bring down the effective cost of setting up, while the loan portion supplies the funds to actually build the unit. The money is intended for artisan trades and micro-enterprises, so it can be put towards starting, running or expanding such a venture. This is a debt-based package, not an equity deal — no ownership stake in the business is taken by the Corporation.

Frequently asked questions
How much financial help does the Shilpi Samridhi Yojana provide?
Three things are offered against the same project. There is a loan where the unit cost can go up to ₹50,000, margin money equal to 10% of the project cost, and a subsidy of 50% of the project cost that is capped at ₹10,000. The subsidy and the margin money together reduce how much of the project you have to fund yourself.
Who is eligible to apply for this scheme?
You need to be a permanent resident of Haryana and belong to the Scheduled Caste category. Your annual family income must not be more than ₹3,00,000, and your age has to be between 18 and 45 years. The scheme also expects you to have adequate knowledge and experience of the activity you are proposing, and it excludes anyone who has defaulted with the Corporation or a bank, misused an earlier loan from the Corporation, or already owns another similar unit.
Is this a grant or a loan? Do I have to give up equity?
It is a debt-based scheme. The core component is a loan, so that portion has to be repaid. The subsidy element — 50% of the project cost, up to ₹10,000 — works in your favour by shrinking the repayment burden, and the margin money covers 10% of the project cost. Nothing here is an equity arrangement, so you do not hand over any stake in your business.
What is the application deadline for the Shilpi Samridhi Yojana?
There is no closing date. The scheme is rolling, which means applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, so you can submit whenever your details and documents are ready.
Are there age and income limits for applicants?
Yes, both apply. An applicant must be in the 18 to 45 years age group, and the family's annual income cannot be more than ₹3,00,000.
Do I need DPIIT recognition or MSME registration to apply?
The conditions laid down for this scheme revolve around domicile, community, income, age, experience and a clean borrowing record. DPIIT recognition and MSME or Udyam registration are not listed among the requirements.
How do I apply for the Shilpi Samridhi Yojana?
Applications are submitted online on the Antyodaya SARAL portal at https://saralharyana.gov.in/login.do. Register as a new user, verify your email and mobile number through the OTP, then log in. From there, choose "Apply for Service" and "View All Available Services", pick Shilpi Samridhi Yojana, fill in the form, complete the self-declaration, attach your annexures and submit. Do keep the acknowledgement receipt.
What should I keep ready before starting the application?
Have an email ID and a mobile number handy, since both need to be verified by OTP — the OTP stays valid for 15 minutes and the email verification link for 48 hours. You will also need to create a password of at least 9 characters containing one special character, one number, one lowercase and one uppercase letter, and to have your mandatory supporting documents ready for upload at the "Attach Annexure" stage.
Can I apply if I already run a similar unit or have defaulted on an earlier loan?
No. Applicants who have misused a previous loan from the Corporation, who are defaulters of the Corporation or a bank, or who already hold another similar unit do not qualify for the scheme.
