Since, we have known that the small and medium scale Enterprises are the backbone of a country’s economy, and their growth is playing the key role in the uplifting of the economy. But unfortunately, these businesses face so many financial problems. In other words, we can say that despite their importance, these businesses lack access to financing options. In order to give boost to this neglected sector business (i.e. small and medium scale business), Government of Punjab has been taking a good step toward these neglected sectors on account of working on various uplift initiatives which have been merged as a single scheme post-COVID-19. Punjab Small Industries Corporation (PSIC) launched the “Punjab Rozgar Scheme”, in collaboration with The Bank of Punjab (POB) aims to provide subsidized small business loans in the minimum range of PKRs. 100,000/- to maximum PKRs. 10,000,000/-.
