Mudra Loan


PM MUDRA Yojana (PMMY) is a scheme by the Government of India to help small businesses get affordable loans. The goal is to support micro enterprises in trading, making things, offering services, and even farming. The Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA) is like a bank that helps other banks and financial institutions provide these loans. If you're starting a small business, you can get a MUDRA loan of up to Rs 10 lakh from a bank or other similar places nearby. They also offer a MUDRA Card, which works like a credit card, for things like getting money from ATMs and buying stuff using card machines.

Key Highlights of Mudra Loan
Loan Facility Cash Credit, Overdraft & Term Loan
Interest Rates Depends on the bank’s policy decisions

Loan Amount Up to Rs 10 lakhs
Processing Fees For Shishu category (loans up to Rs 50,000) – No processing fee

Interest Rates of MUDRA Loans

MUDRA doesn't decide the interest rates for PMMY loans. Instead, it lets banks, NBFCs, and MFIs choose the rates. So, if you want a MUDRA loan, just ask your bank or lender about their interest rates.

Fees & Charges

Lending institutions offering MUDRA loans can decide whether to charge upfront fees based on their own rules. But usually, for loans in the Shishu category, many lenders don't charge any upfront fees or processing charges.

Registration Process of PM MUDRA Yojana

Prospective borrowers seeking business loans can go to specific Public and Private Sector Commercial Banks, Cooperative Banks, Regional Rural Banks (RRBs), Micro Finance Institutions, Foreign Banks, and Non-Banking Finance Companies to access loans under PMMY.

Moreover, individuals have the option to apply for MUDRA loans conveniently online through the UdyamMitra portal at www.udyamimitra.in.

Loan Amount

MUDRA loans are divided into three categories: 'Shishu', 'Kishore', and 'Tarun'. These categories signify the development and funding requirements of applicants.

Category Loan Amount
Shishu Up to Rs 50,000
Kishor Above Rs 50,000 to Rs 5 lakh
Tarun Above Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh

Collateral

The loans provided by MUDRA are collateral-free and are covered under the Credit Guarantee Fund for Micro Units (CGFMU), which is managed by the National Credit Guarantee Trustee Company Limited (NCGTC). This provides added security to both borrowers and lenders.

Repayment Tenure

MUDRA hasn't set a specific repayment tenure for loans refinanced through the PMMY scheme. Instead, lending institutions providing MUDRA loans have the flexibility to determine loan tenures according to their own policies and the regulations established by the RBI.

MUDRA Card

The MUDRA Card is a RuPay debit card that provides a working capital loan through an overdraft facility. This card allows borrowers to make multiple withdrawals and credits, facilitating digital transactions and building credit history. It's issued against a MUDRA loan account and can be used nationwide for cash withdrawals from ATMs/micro ATMs or for making purchases using Point of Sale (POS) machines. Borrowers can repay the amount at any time based on the availability of surplus cash.

Eligibility Criteria of PM MUDRA Loans

MUDRA loans are available for micro-enterprises engaged in manufacturing, services, processing, trading, and activities related to agriculture. Prospective borrowers must have a clean record and not be defaulters with any bank or financial institution. Additionally, they should demonstrate a satisfactory credit history.
