The Secretary added that with this corpus of Rs 2,000 crores in place, the Start-Ups would receive financial support from banks and financial institutions with collateral free guarantee.
Without prescribing any time limit as to when the Credit Guarantee Fund would come about, Mr. Abhishek, however, added that with this fund being operational in near future, the Start-Ups could look up for financial assistance for their ventures that would be available easily.
Elaborating on the issue of softening existing regulations for Start-Ups, Mr. Abhishek pointed out that DIPP would take up this issue with entities such as RBI, SEBI and Department of Corporate Affairs among others.
Responding to a suggestion mooted by the President, PHD Chamber, Dr. Mahesh Gupta seeking relaxations on existing taxes for Start-Ups, the Secretary, DIPP said that this issue was also being perused by the government among the various concerned stakeholders since the Start-Ups venture is one of the top priorities of the Modi government as it would not only create wealth for promoter of such ventures but also facilitate employment creation.
