Stand-Up India Scheme comes up with a lot of questions, especially for women entrepreneurs and SC/ST entrepreneurs setting up a new (greenfield) business dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.

No, it's specifically meant for setting up a new, greenfield enterprise.

What loan amount range does the scheme typically cover?

Can the loan be used for any type of business?

Manufacturing, trading, or services businesses can generally apply, subject to scheme conditions.
