Are there any emergency loans to the help the self employed or entrepreneurs?

The decision to allow loan moratorium, provision of funds to Financial Institutions to provide easy funds to lend (for facilitating smooth functioning of the businesses) to the MSME sector, are some of the measures taken by the Govt. of India to help the MSME sector in this hour of need. Many Financial Institutions are also coming up with loans and services to help the MSME sector especially.There are several products that NBFCs such as Muthoot Fincorp Ltd. (MFL) are providing for encouraging entrepreneurs to restart business. The "Ashwas Dinam Gold Loan" by Muthoot provides maximum value for gold, 180 days steady interest, reduced interest on daily repayments and 24x7 online payment options, for people engaged in MSME businesses.
