Punjab Rozgar Scheme Latest Update 2023-24

Business Friendly Punjab Rozgar Scheme has been launched by Chief Minister Punjab. The secret of the development of the country is its small and medium enterprises which are considered as the backbone of the economy of the country and their development means the development of the country.

While of significant importance, these enterprises currently face limitations in accessing financial resources. To invigorate this underserved sector, the Government of Punjab has undertaken multiple uplift initiatives, consolidating them into a unified program post-COVID, known as the ‘Punjab Rozgar Scheme.’ This initiative, launched by the Punjab Small Industries Corporation (PSIC) in partnership with The Bank of Punjab, seeks to offer subsidized small business loans ranging from Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 10,000,000.
