      Solution

      Under the CGTMSE scheme, the limits were enhanced in the recent Union Budget 2025-26 as follows:  

      • The credit guarantee cover for micro and small enterprises has been increased from ₹ 5 crore to ₹10 crore , enabling additional credit of ₹1.5 lakh crore over five years.  
      • Startups will see their guarantee cover double from ₹10 crore to ₹20 crore, with a reduced fee of 1% for loans in 27 priority sectors.  
      • Exporter MSMEs will benefit from term loans up to ₹20 crore with enhanced guarantee cover  
      The credit facilities which are eligible to be covered under the scheme are both term loans and working capital (fund based/non-fund based), extended without any collateral security or third party guarantee, to a new or existing micro and small enterprise, by lending institutions to a single eligible borrower in MSE sector.
