🚐 MUMKIN Scheme — Commercial Transport Livelihood

1. About the MUMKIN Scheme

The MUMKIN Scheme is a livelihood-generation initiative of the Government of Jammu and Kashmir, implemented through Mission Youth. Its objective is to help eligible unemployed youth establish self-employment in the transport sector by purchasing a new small commercial vehicle.

The scheme provides bank financing along with financial assistance from Mission Youth and a special discount from the participating vehicle manufacturer. The vehicle must be used for an approved commercial transport activity.

2. Which Vehicles Can Be Purchased Under MUMKIN?

The scheme guidelines cover approved models of small commercial vehicles, including:

  • Commercial Taxis: Approved passenger taxis for commercial use.
  • Mini-Buses: Approved vehicles for commercial passenger transportation.
  • Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs): Eligible commercial vehicles used for carrying goods.
  • Tempos: Approved passenger or goods-carrying tempos.
  • Other eligible commercial transport vehicles: Similar vehicles approved for commercial operation under the applicable permit requirements.

Can I choose the vehicle myself?

Yes. The scheme guidelines allow applicants to choose an approved make and model of their choice. However, the selected vehicle must be eligible under the scheme, and the applicable commercial registration and permit requirements must be fulfilled.

Important: The scheme does not provide a single permanent list of car models or guarantee that every vehicle sold in the market is eligible. Before booking a vehicle, confirm the current approved models, participating manufacturers, on-road price and applicable discount with the District Employment and Counselling Centre or the designated scheme authority.

3. Financial Assistance and Subsidy

Under the published scheme guidelines:

  • Bank loan: The scheme banking partner may finance up to 100% of the vehicle's on-road price, subject to bank appraisal and sanction.
  • Mission Youth subsidy: ₹80,000 or 10% of the vehicle's on-road price, whichever is lower.
  • Manufacturer discount: The participating vehicle manufacturer provides an upfront discount of at least the amount of the Mission Youth subsidy, according to the published guidelines.
  • Security: The published guidelines provide for hypothecation of the purchased vehicle without requiring additional collateral security.

The subsidy and manufacturer discount are credited towards the beneficiary's loan account; they are not necessarily paid to the applicant as cash.

Example of the subsidy calculation

If the approved vehicle's on-road price is ₹6,00,000:

  • 10% of the on-road price = ₹60,000.
  • Mission Youth subsidy = ₹60,000, because it is lower than ₹80,000.
  • The manufacturer discount must be at least the applicable Mission Youth subsidy under the published guidelines.

This is an illustration only. The actual loan balance, discount and subsidy depend on the approved quotation and the scheme terms applicable when the application is sanctioned.

4. Eligibility Criteria

The published guidelines specify the following conditions:

  1. The applicant must be a domicile of Jammu and Kashmir.
  2. The applicant must generally be between 18 and 35 years of age.

  6. Applicants who have already received an incentive or subsidy under another government self-employment scheme are not eligible under the published guidelines.

Collateral-free does not mean that the loan is interest-free or does not need repayment. The lender may require hypothecation of assets purchased with the loan and may apply other permitted loan conditions.

Interest Rate and Repayment

There is no single universal interest rate or repayment period for every MUDRA loan. The participating lender determines the applicable rate, tenure, instalment amount and fees according to its policies and the borrower's profile.

Applicants should request a written repayment schedule before accepting the loan.
