SAPM congratulates the NBP for creating history by disbursing 5000 loans without collateral

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Youth Affairs Muhammad Usman Dar on Tuesday congratulated the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) on the disbursement of the soft loans under the Youth Entrepreneurship Scheme (YES) of the Kamyab Jawan Programme.

In a tweet, he said the NBP made history by disbursing almost 90% of the total loans without collateral.

 

Usman Dar had previously informed about the nature of the soft loan scheme, which has three tiers. Under tier-1, the loan limit was from Rs100,000 to Rs1 million, whereas tier-2’s loan limit was from above Rs1 million and up to Rs10 million, and under tier-3, the loan limit was from above Rs10 million and up to Rs25 million.

According to the SAPM, the government is planning to add another tier of Rs 100,000 to Rs 500,000 since most of the applications received belonged to this tier.

Moreover, the amount of the soft loan would be increased from Rs one million to Rs two million under the second one.

Earlier, the SAPM revealed that Rs. 8 billion have been disbursed under the Kamyab Jawan Programme, and 10,000 new businesses launched.
