Abhinandan Vaahan Yojana - Empowering Mobility, Transforming Lives
The Abhinandan Vaahan Yojana is a welfare initiative aimed at providing financial assistance and support to individuals and families who require vehicles for personal, business, or livelihood-related purposes but lack the resources to afford them. By offering vehicles at subsidized rates, low-interest loans, or vehicle-related services, the program aims to empower individuals, especially from underserved communities, to enhance their mobility, access better employment opportunities, and improve their quality of life.
Key Features of the Abhinandan Vaahan Yojana:
- Low-Interest Vehicle Loans: The Yojana provides subsidized loans with low-interest rates for the purchase of personal vehicles, including two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and four-wheelers. These loans are designed to make vehicles more accessible to those with limited financial means.
- Flexible Repayment Plans: The loan terms are tailored to the financial capacity of the borrower, with extended repayment periods and affordable monthly installments to reduce financial strain.
1. Affordable Vehicle Loans:
- Direct Subsidies for Purchase: For eligible individuals, the Yojana offers direct subsidies or grants to reduce the cost of purchasing essential vehicles, such as two-wheelers for daily commuting or three-wheelers for small business operations like delivery, auto-rickshaw driving, or goods transport.
- Wide Range of Vehicles: The Yojana supports the purchase of various types of vehicles based on the applicant's needs, including:
- Two-Wheelers: For daily commuting and personal use.
- Three-Wheelers: For small businesses, such as auto-rickshaws, delivery services, and small transport businesses.
- Four-Wheelers: For entrepreneurs and individuals who need reliable transportation for family or business purposes.
2. Subsidized Vehicle Purchase:

3. Livelihood Support for Small Businesses:
