Overview
The Back Ended Interest Subsidy (BEIS) scheme is a Tamil Nadu government initiative that provides interest subsidy to small-scale industries (SSI) after they have repaid their term loans. The subsidy is provided at the end of the repayment period, which encourages timely loan repayment.
The scheme is designed to lower the effective cost of borrowing for small businesses and help them remain financially viable.
