What are the Banks offering Mudra Loan

The Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana or PMMY as the acronym goes, is a micro financing scheme that is meant for small industries that do not get ample amount of support from banks and other financial institutions due to lack of security and experience in business. The MUDRA Loan scheme is regulated by the Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency and can offer loans up to INR 50 lakhs to the trade bodies that need it.

Categories of MUDRA Loans

Mudra Loan is crafted into three options and each option is meant for the business that requires that kind of range of financial help. The three options available under the PMMY are as follows –

Shishu MUDRA Loan – The beginner level loan option that can offer a loan amount of up to INR 50000 is the go to loan that can be taken up by almost any organisation to meet short term financial needs. It can bridge investment gaps, shortfalls in manufacturing processes or even for buying office appliances
Kishore MUDRA Loan – This loan is a more versatile loan with a higher loan limit of up to INR 5 lakhs. The loans taken as per this can form the basis of any small business that needs urgent financing with respect to enhancing infrastructure and fulfilling manufacturing or production needs
Tarun MUDRA Loan – The Tarun variant of the MUDRA loan allows for the maximum credit amount of INR 50 lakhs. Loans through this can easily serve as start-up funding for small to mid-size businesses that have plans for opening up in multiple locations.
