Under PMEGP, general category beneficiaries can avail of margin money subsidy of 25% of the project cost in rural areas and 15% in urban areas.  For beneficiaries belonging to special categories such as scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, OBCs, minorities, women, exservicemen,  physically  handicapped,  beneficiaries  belonging  to  North  Eastern  Region,  hill and border areas, etc.,  the margin money subsidy is 35% in rural areas and 25% in urban area.
