How to Apply for a Business Loan under PMMY Scheme?

A not-so-recent government scheme gaining prominence is the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana(PMMY). Launched in 2015, this scheme, under the purview of the Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency (MUDRA) lets lenders provide loans up to Rs. 10 lakhs to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

A noteworthy point here is that the lending institution does not require securities or collaterals to grant the MUDRA loan. Small manufacturing business owners, fruit and vegetable sellers, artisans, shopkeepers, and entrepreneurs practising agricultural activities can avail of this loan.

The three loan types under the PMMY scheme, named- Shishu, Kishore, and Tarun, allow entrepreneurs to borrow funds according to their business stages.

Furthermore, under PMMY, there are no minimum loan amount criteria, and the repayment tenure comes with flexible EMI options and a lower business loan interest rate. However, the funds must be utilised only towards the expansion and growth of the enterprise.
