How EMI Is Calculated Under PM Vishwakarma
The calculator assumes:
- Beneficiary interest rate: 5% per annum (fixed)
- Market interest rate: 13% per annum (for comparison)
- Government subsidy: 8% interest support
Your EMI is calculated using the standard reducing-balance formula, but only at the subsidized 5% rate. The difference between market interest and beneficiary interest is shown as government subsidy and savings.
Example Calculation
If you take a ₹1,00,000 loan for 30 months under PM Vishwakarma:
- EMI at 5%: Significantly lower than a normal personal loan
- Total interest paid by you: Minimal
- Government subsidy: Covers most of the interest burden
- Net saving: Tens of thousands compared to a regular 13% loan
This makes the scheme one of the cheapest business credit options available for artisans.
