How to Apply for Chief Minister's Self Employment Scheme, Sikkim — ₹3L Interest-Free Loan

The Sikkim Industrial Development & Investment Corporation (SIDICO) screens every application it receives. Screening covers two things first — whether the applicant satisfies the eligibility conditions, and whether the required documentation is complete.

Applications that clear this stage go through a further round of assessment. Here the emphasis shifts to the proposal itself: how viable the self-employment venture the applicant intends to start is judged to be.

Only after that evaluation is the loan taken forward for approval and, finally, disbursement. Since the scheme has no closing date, applications are processed as and when they come in.
