&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;We are delighted to join &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.psbloansin59minutes.com/&quot; style=&quot;color:blue; text-decoration:underline&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;psbloansin59minutes.com&lt;/a&gt; and participate in the Government of Indias initiative to facilitate easier access to credit to MSMEs said Ambuj Chandna, Senior Executive Vice President and Head, Consumer Assets, Kotak Mahindra Bank said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;In a bid to boost credit availability to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Prime Minister Narendra announced a 59 minute loan facility of up to Rs 1 crore for MSMEs during the launch of MSME Support and Outreach Program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;The initiative aims at automation of various processes to loan appraisal in such a way that you get an eligibility letter, In-principal Approval in less than 60 minutes and chooses the Bank that you may prefer to ease access to credit to smaller and micro enterprises.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt; The on-boarding of Kotak Mahindra Bank is an important milestone for the portal. In addition to making a wide choice of credit products from Public Sector Banks available to MSMEs registering on the platform, they now also get an option to access private sector lenders as well. This is true democratization of finance for the MSME segment, said Manoj Mittal, DMD, SIDBI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Kotak Mahindra Bank now joins the other public sector banks (PSBs) to offer loans to the small businesses that receive approval in less than 60 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Under the facility, the aspirant gets an eligibility letter, in-principle approval in less than an hour by choosing the bank that he may prefer to access to credit. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;(KNN/JM)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
