 +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.

 +
 +===== Frequently asked questions =====
 +==== Mudra loan denied — multiple banks. Why? ====
 +Common: poor business plan, low credit score, no collateral assets even for collateral-free. SLBC coordinator helps.
 +
 +==== Udyam vs Udyog Aadhaar — same? ====
 +Udyam = updated name (since July 2020). Udyog Aadhaar holders auto-migrated.
 +
 +==== %%GeM%% — eligible without Udyam? ====
 +Yes for any seller. But MSME benefits (25% reserve) need Udyam.
 +
 +==== Stand-Up India — only for women/SC/ST? ====
 +Yes — for them + greenfield enterprise. General entrepreneurs use Mudra / PMEGP.
 +
 +==== Scheme delayed > 60 days. Fix? ====
 +File RTI to scheme nodal + MSME Champions. CPGRAMS parallel.
