The  maximum  project  cost  for  upgradation under manufacturing sector  is Rs.1.00 crore and under service/trading sector is Rs.25.00  lakh.    Maximum  subsidy  is  15%  of  the  project  cost  (20%  for  NER  and  Hill States) i.e. Rs. 15.00 lakh in Non-NER and Rs. 20.00 lakh for NER and Hill States. The benefit of this assistance is available across the country, including aspiration districts.

(c)  &  (d):    Women  are  covered  as  Special  Category  under  PMEGP  and  are  entitled  to higher rate of subsidy, i.e. 25% in urban areas and 35% in rural areas, whereas General Category  beneficiaries  are  entailed  to  15%  and  25%  subsidy    in  urban  and  rural  areas respectively.  Besides,  women  beneficiaries  have  to  pay  only  5%  of  project  cost  as  self contribution,  whereas  General  Category  beneficiaries  pay  10%  of  project  cost  as  self contribution.
