📌 About This Scheme

Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) is a flagship scheme of the Government of India to provide 'funding the unfunded' by bringing small enterprises into the formal financial system. The scheme offers loans up to ₹10 lakh to non-corporate, non-farm small/micro enterprises. These loans are classified into three products to signify the stage of growth and funding needs of the beneficiary micro unit: 1. Shishu (covering loans up to ₹50,000), 2. Kishore (covering loans above ₹50,000 and up to ₹5 lakh), and 3. Tarun (covering loans above ₹5 lakh and up to ₹10 lakh). One of the most significant features of MUDRA loans is that they are collateral-free, meaning the entrepreneur does not need to provide any property or asset as security to the bank. The Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency Ltd (MUDRA) acts as a monitoring body and provides refinance support to banks. The scheme focuses on various sectors including land transport, community/social/personal services, food products, and textile sectors. MUDRA loans are used for working capital and for purchasing equipment or machinery for the business. This scheme has played a pivotal role in promoting entrepreneurship among women and marginalized communities (SC/ST/OBC), as a vast majority of the loans are sanctioned to these groups. By providing easy access to credit, PMMY helps in local job creation and boosts the GDP by supporting the massive informal economy. The MUDRA Card, a RuPay debit card, is also issued to borrowers, allowing them to withdraw working capital in a flexible manner. This financial inclusion initiative ensures that small-scale vendors, shopkeepers, and artisans have the necessary capital to scale their operations and achieve economic independence.
