About

The beneficiary contributes ₹10,000 toward the e-thela's cost, the Chhattisgarh Unorganized Worker State Social Security Board contributes a ₹30,000 grant, and the remainder is financed as a bank loan the worker repays at the bank's interest rate. The Board releases its contribution only after all loan-related documents are submitted.

What this grant funds

The scheme targets unorganized workers registered with Chhattisgarh's State Social Security Board who run hand carts, rickshaws or auto-rickshaws, aged 18-50 and registered for at least 90 days. It funds the purchase of an e-thela (electric hand cart), not general business costs.
