Uttar Pradesh Plans Interest-Free Credit Scheme for One Crore Women Ahead of Elections
The Uttar Pradesh government plans an interest-free credit scheme offering up to Rs 1 lakh to one crore women linked to self-help groups under the Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihood Mission. The credit will be disbursed in three tranches—Rs 20,000, Rs 30,000, and Rs 50,000—upon timely repayment. Eligible women will receive special credit cards to support small businesses. The initiative, announced ahead of the state Assembly elections, also aims to enhance digital capabilities through QR-coded IDs and integration with digital payments and e-commerce.
