What is PM MUDRA Yojana and who is it for?

PM MUDRA Yojana provides collateral-free loans to non-farm micro and small businesses through banks, NBFCs, and MFIs. It covers manufacturing, trading, and service enterprises. Both first-time borrowers and existing businesses can apply.

What are the loan tiers under MUDRA?

MUDRA has four tiers: Shishu (up to ₹50,000), Kishor (₹50,001 to ₹5 lakh), Tarun (₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh), and Tarun Plus (₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh). Each tier targets a different stage of business growth.

Is collateral required for a MUDRA loan?

No collateral is required for MUDRA loans. The scheme is specifically designed to provide collateral-free credit to micro and small businesses.

What is the RuPay MUDRA card?

Borrowers receive a RuPay MUDRA card linked to their working capital limit, allowing them to draw funds as needed rather than taking a lump sum. This helps manage cash flow efficiently.

Is equity taken under PM MUDRA Yojana?

No. MUDRA loans are debt instruments — no equity or ownership stake is taken. The loan must be repaid with interest to the lending institution.

How do I apply for a MUDRA loan?

You do not apply to MUDRA directly. Visit any MUDRA-participating bank, NBFC, or MFI branch with your business details and documents. You can also check mudra.org.in or apply through the Udyamimitra portal for online applications.

PM MUDRA Yojana — Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency

PM MUDRA Yojana offers collateral-free loans ranging from ₹1 to ₹20 lakh across four tiers (Shishu, Kishor, Tarun, Tarun Plus), making institutional credit accessible to micro-enterprises that typically lack assets to pledge. MUDRA provides refinance to lending institutions, enabling them to extend affordable credit to borrowers. A unique feature is the RuPay MUDRA card for working capital, which allows on-demand drawdown. There is no equity dilution — MUDRA loans are pure debt — but the absence of collateral requirements significantly lowers the barrier to entry for first-time and existing micro-entrepreneurs in any non-farm sector.
