OCEN (Open Credit Enablement Network) is an API protocol that lets small business owners get working-capital loans right inside the apps they already use, no bank visit, no collateral, and a credit decision often in under an hour. A kirana owner on a billing app, a textile retailer on a GST filing tool, a pharmacy on a POS system, any of them can see a pre-assessed loan offer inside the platform, consent to share their financial data, and have funds in the bank within a day or two.

Traditional weavers of Bomdila and other parts of Arunachal Pradesh can avail of collateral-free enterprise loans up to ₹3 lakh in two installments at a concessional rate of interest of 5 per cent under the PM Vishwakarma Yojana, a grant of ₹15,000 for a toolkit and free skill training with a daily stipend, subject to the conditions and eligibility of the scheme.

Most Ravangla entrepreneurs who apply for PMEGP focus on one number: the subsidy percentage. The number that actually decides whether the project gets off the ground is the one they have to arrange themselves.

Under the SMAM scheme, farmers in Arunachal Pradesh can get a subsidy on tractors, power tillers, and farm implements by registering on agrimachinery.nic.in, with a baseline of 40-50% by category and often higher rates for North-Eastern and priority categories. The balance can be covered through a business loan or agri-purpose loan from IIFL Finance, subject to eligibility.

Coorg planters can pledge eligible gold jewellery as collateral for an IIFL Finance gold loan to fund vanilla trellis, curing infrastructure, and seasonal labour before the first harvest arrives, at the loan-to-value (LTV) permitted under current RBI rules and subject to applicable terms.

An Equifax credit score ranges from 300 to 900 and helps lenders assess a borrower's creditworthiness before approving loans or credit cards. Scores above 740 are generally viewed favorably, while scores below 580 may make borrowing more difficult. Equifax is one of India's four RBI-licensed credit bureaus and maintains credit records based on information reported by banks, NBFCs, and credit card issuers.

A 600 CIBIL gold loan 2026 application is generally not blocked by the score alone. Because a gold loan is secured by the gold pledged, lenders look first at the metal's purity, weight and current value rather than credit history. That collateral-first approach is why a modest score rarely decides the outcome. This guide sets out how eligibility, rates and loan-to-value actually work.

Gold loan LTV calculator helps you to calculate the maximum amount that can be borrowed against gold with the help of three inputs namely net weight of gold, its purity in karats and the current rate of gold. Then, it applies the loan-to-value cap, spitting out a number in seconds. This guide describes how the calculation works and what factors influence the result.

The LTV tiered structure gold loan borrowers now face sets three borrowing limits based on the loan amount: 85% for loans up to ₹2.5 lakh, 80% for ₹2.5 - 5 lakh, and 75% above ₹5 lakh. Which slab applies decides how much cash a pledge of gold can unlock. This guide explains how the slabs work and what determines the figure.
