Last updated 25 Oct 2026
What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“Provide SC, ST and OBC entrepreneurs interest-free business loans of up to ₹15 lakh.”
From the Bharatiya Janata Party manifestoView Manifestop.14
Our Assessment
The state OBC corporation lists a ₹15-lakh individual-loan interest-reimbursement scheme and an application process. This supports partial implementation. Equivalent ₹15-lakh interest-free coverage for SC and ST entrepreneurs, and reimbursement delivery across all promised groups, remain unverified.
The reasoning behind the verdict
Why this assessment?
Reviewed
01 · Delivery status
Why partially done?
A matching ₹15-lakh interest-reimbursement facility is documented for OBC applicants. The pledge covers SC, ST and OBC entrepreneurs, and equivalent coverage and actual reimbursements for all groups are not established.
02 · Strength of evidence
Why medium confidence?
The state OBC corporation's scheme, procedure and government-resolution index confirm the ₹15-lakh facility; some pages were available through indexed copies while direct retrieval timed out. SC/ST category-specific orders and beneficiary-payment totals remain unverified.
What would help us reassess?
The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.
- Applicable SC, ST and OBC scheme orders, interest caps and repayment conditions, plus dated category-wise loan disbursement and interest-reimbursement records.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
