How to get Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY) Loan
MUDRA or Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency Limited is an institution set up by the Government of India for development and refinancing activities relating to micro units. MUDRA was announced by the Hon'ble Finance Minister in the 2016 Budget. Under MUDRA, loans are provided under three schemes namely 'Shishu', 'Kishor' and 'Tarun' to signify the stage of growth and funding needs of the beneficiary micro unit. This loan can be availed by Micro Units and Entrepreneurs in India. In this article, we look at the procedure for obtaining MUDRA loan.
Budget 2024: Increased Mudra Loan Limits
The recent budget proposal includes an increase in the limit for Mudra loans under the 'Tarun' category, raising it from ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh. This enhancement is specifically aimed at entrepreneurs who have a track record of successfully repaying their previous loans. By doubling the available funding, the initiative seeks to support these business owners in securing the necessary capital to expand their operations and grow their enterprises.MUDRA
One of the biggest bottlenecks for SMEs in India is the lack of financial support from the formal banking or financial sector. The lack of formal financing hampers the growth of small businesses and makes them ineffective at competing with larger players. To remove this bottleneck and provide finance to micro units or Entrepreneurs, MUDRA Bank has been setup as a subsidiary of SIDBI.
MUDRA would be responsible for refinancing all financiers or financial institutions engaged in the financing of Small Businesses, Societies, Trusts Section 8 Companies, Co-operative Societies, Small Banks, Scheduled Commercial Banks and Rural Banks which are in the business of lending to micro or small businesses engaged in manufacturing, trading and services activities.
Loan under MUDRA
The loan is provided currently under three schemes in Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana. The three schemes are as follows:
- Shishu: Loan of upto Rs.50,000
- Kishor: Loans of above Rs.50,000 to Rs.5 lakhs.
- Tarun: Loans of above Rs.5 lakhs to Rs.10 lakhs.
MUDRA Loan Eligibility
Any Indian Citizen who has a business plan for a non-farm sector income generating activity such as manufacturing, processing, trading or service sector and whose credit need is less than 10 lakh can approach either a Bank, MFI, or NBFC for availing of MUDRA loans under Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY). The terms and conditions of the vendor would have to be followed for availing of loans under MUDRA. The lending rates are as per the RBI guidelines issued in this regard from time to time. Since MUDRA is a refinancing institution, loans are not offered directly by MUDRA but through existing NBFCs, Financial Institutions, Banks, Primary Lending Institutions, etc.,
The target audience for MUDRA loans are millions of Proprietorship / Partnership Firms running a small manufacturing unit or service sector units like shopkeepers, fruits/vegetable vendors, truck operators, food-service units, repair shops, machine operators, small industries, artisans, food processors and others, in rural and urban areas.

The MUDRA card will provide a working capital arrangement in the form of Cash Credit or Over Draft and can be used by drawing cash from ATM or making purchases using Point of Sale credit card swiping machines. MUDRA card also allows for repayment of the amount as and when surplus is available, thereby reducing interest burden.
