A widow or a woman with disability is eligible for a 30% subsidy. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Both statements are correct. The standard capital subsidy is 25% of the sanctioned loan. The enhanced rate is 30% for the specified special categories, which include widows, deserted women, violence-affected women, women with disabilities, and Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe applicants. The higher rate follows the applicant's eligible category.

Q2Which of the following statements about project finance under Mukhyamantri Nari Shakti Udyam Protsahan Yojana is incorrect?

A A loan taken for purchasing land is not eligible for scheme benefit.
B Workshed or building construction can be included only up to 20% of the sanctioned project cost.
C Loans up to ₹10 lakh are not to carry a collateral-security demand.
D The subsidy is credited as an immediately withdrawable cash grant as soon as the bank sanctions the loan.
Explanation

Option D is incorrect. The subsidy is not an immediately withdrawable cash grant. It is placed in the beneficiary's account as a term-deposit receipt for 3 years, with no interest charged on that subsidy-linked loan portion. It is adjusted against the outstanding loan only after successful enterprise operation and continuous repayment are established.

A 1 and 2 only
B 1, 2 and 3 only
C 2, 3 and 4 only
D 1, 2, 3 and 4
Explanation

All four statements are correct. An individual applicant must be a woman resident of Rajasthan and at least 18 years old, while no maximum age is prescribed. Applications for loans below ₹10 lakh are examined at the office level. Departmental scrutiny supports the process, but the lending bank still makes the final sanction decision.

A Individual woman entrepreneur — ₹1 crore
B Women self-help group cluster or federation — ₹1 crore
C Women self-help group — ₹1 crore

Explanation

The official applicant tiers distinguish a women self-help group from a cluster or federation of such groups. An individual woman or a women self-help group may receive up to ₹50 lakh, whereas a cluster or federation may receive up to ₹1 crore. Trading activity is subject to a separate ₹10 lakh ceiling.

D Rural Development Department, through the Rajasthan Rural Livelihoods Mission
Explanation

The Department of Women and Child Development is the nodal department, and the Directorate of Women Empowerment administers the scheme in Rajasthan. Banks or approved financial institutions make the final lending decision, but that financing role does not transfer nodal responsibility to the banking or industries administration.
