Overview
The Ati Sukshm (Nano) Udhyam track of Uttarakhand's Mukhyamantri Swarozgar Yojana is a self-employment programme run by the state's MSME Department, which functions under the Department of Industries. Its aim is straightforward: help people who live in the state stop looking for work and start running something of their own, however small.
Two kinds of ventures fit here. The first is a brand-new nano unit — a tiny business built from zero by a first-time entrepreneur. The second is a small enterprise that is already running and now wants to grow, add capacity or modernise its operations.
Sanctioned support does not flow directly from the department. It reaches the beneficiary through banks, so the applicant works with a financing bank located in their own area. Because the units supported are spread across villages as well as towns, the scheme is meant to keep economic activity and livelihoods alive locally rather than concentrating them in cities.
Highlights
- Bank finance of up to ₹50,000 per nano enterprise
- Subsidy of 25%–40%, capped at ₹20,000
- Open to both new ventures and expanding micro units
- Restricted to native or permanent residents of Uttarakhand
- Rolling applications — no fixed last date
- Apply online at msy.uk.gov.in
Who can apply
Eligibility here turns on residency, age and banking record — not on qualifications or prior business experience.
- Domicile: the person applying must be a native or permanent resident of Uttarakhand.
- Age: 18 years or older.
- Education: no minimum educational qualification is prescribed.
- Banking: the applicant needs an account with the bank that will finance the project in the concerned area.
- Credit history: neither the applicant nor the proposed entity may be a defaulter of any bank or financial institution.
Because both fresh ventures and existing small units looking to expand or upgrade are covered, a first-time founder and an operating nano business owner can apply on the same terms, as long as the conditions above are met.
Mukhyamantri Swarozgar Yojana (Nano Udhyam) — ₹50,000 Uttarakhand Subsidy is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

Deadline & timing
Mukhyamantri Swarozgar Yojana (Nano Udhyam) — ₹50,000 Uttarakhand Subsidy accepts applications on a rolling basis — there is no fixed cut-off date, so eligible startups can apply at any time.

What the funding covers
Support under this scheme comes in two layers — the bank finance itself and a government subsidy on top of it.
- Bank finance of up to ₹50,000 to establish a new nano enterprise or to expand and upgrade an existing small unit.
- A subsidy of 25% to 40% on that financing. The exact rate depends on the district category — A, B, B+, C or D — and on whether the applicant belongs to the general or the special social category.
- The subsidy is capped at ₹20,000, whatever the percentage works out to.
The subsidy is not handed over upfront. It is released only once the project has been operated successfully for a full year, which links the benefit to whether the business genuinely survives and keeps running.

Frequently asked questions
How much money does this scheme actually provide?
You can access bank finance of up to ₹50,000 to start a new nano enterprise or to grow an existing small unit. On top of that financing, the state gives a subsidy that brings your effective cost down.
What does the subsidy work out to in rupees?
The subsidy is calculated at 25% to 40% of the financing. How much you get within that band depends on your district category — A, B, B+, C or D — and on whether you fall in the general or special social category. The ceiling is ₹20,000, so even if the percentage works out higher, the amount stops there.

Do I have to give away equity to receive this money?
No. This is a subsidy scheme routed through bank finance, not an equity investment, so no stake in your business is taken in return. Your ownership of the enterprise stays intact.
Can a business that is already running apply?
Yes. The scheme is meant for setting up a new nano enterprise as well as for expanding or upgrading a small business that already exists, so both first-time founders and current owners can apply.
