The scheme differentiates between general category and special categorybeneficiaries (SC/ST, women, minorities, ex-servicemen, differently-abled). For special category beneficiaries: • In rural areas → 35% subsidy • In urban areas → 25% subsidy Thus, for special category beneficiaries setting up projects in urban areas, the subsidy is 25%.
