SBI Asmita: On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2025, the country’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has launched a very special scheme for women. This scheme called ‘SBI Asmita’ is dedicated to women entrepreneurs, in which loans will be made available at low interest rates without any guarantee. This scheme will prove to be a boon for women who want to start their dream business but are left behind due to financial constraints.
Flying the dreams of women entrepreneurs
This new scheme of SBI aims to empower women entrepreneurs and make them self-reliant. This scheme has been launched at a time when a TransUnion CIBIL report has revealed that women show less interest in taking business loans. Instead, they prefer to borrow for personal or consumption purposes.
