• Bank refuses citing risk — try multiple banks; SLBC coordinator if blocked at all PSUs.
• Loan demanded for personal use — only business eligible. Show genuine business plan.
• Documents incomplete — get Udyam Registration first; speeds Mudra approval.
• Default risk — CGTMSE backstops to lender; you still owe principal + interest.

Most “delays” or “rejections” clear within 7-15 days of an RTI being filed. Use this 5-question template:

1. Status of my application no. _____ dated _____ as on date.
2. Name + designation of dealing officer assigned to my file.
3. Reasons for delay beyond the statutory timeline.
4. Copy of any noting / movement of my file in the past 30 days.
5. Likely date of disbursement / decision.
