Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NABARD subsidy amount for GPS in Goa?

The NABARD unit cost for GPS in Goa is ₹35,000. This is the benchmark amount banks use when sanctioning a term loan for this activity. The actual subsidy you receive depends on the scheme — typically 25–50% of the unit cost.

What does "the specification" mean for GPS?

The specification "listed above" defines the exact scale or parameters of the investment — such as area in hectares, capacity in litres per day, number of animals, or structural dimensions. NABARD unit costs are tied to this specification; a different scale may have a different unit cost. If your project differs, ask your bank to use the nearest applicable NABARD benchmark.

What is the loan repayment period for GPS financing in Goa?

NABARD-linked term loans for fisheries investments like GPS typically have a repayment period of 5–9 years (including a moratorium of 1–2 years). The moratorium aligns with the gestation period of the investment — for example, a fruit orchard may take 3 years to yield income, so repayment begins after that. Exact tenure depends on your bank and the specific scheme.
