The project aims to enhance access to finance for SMEs by leveraging Business Development Services (BDS), supporting financial institutions, creating a risk-sharing mechanism, and establishing a digital information portal for SMEs. Commercial banks that have already submitted their proposals need not resubmit. However, any bank wishing to revise or update its existing proposal is encouraged to do so at its discretion.
