pm mudra loan apply 2026
Quick facts: For non-corporate, non-farm micro and small enterprises · Shishu up to ₹50K, Kishor ₹50K-₹5L, Tarun ₹5L-₹10L, Tarun Plus up to ₹20L (2024 expansion) · collateral-free, no processing fee for Shishu · apply at any bank, NBFC, MFI, or udyamimitra.in.
Launched on 8 April 2015, the Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY) is the country’s flagship scheme for small-business finance. Since inception, banks have disbursed over 51 crore loans worth more than ₹32 lakh crore under MUDRA. In the 2024 Union Budget, the government introduced Tarun Plus, raising the maximum loan limit from ₹10 lakh to ₹20 lakh for eligible repeat borrowers — a meaningful step up for small businesses that graduated out of Tarun.
MUDRA stands for Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Ltd. — it’s a refinance facility the government runs through banks, NBFCs, MFIs, and Small Finance Banks. The actual loan comes from your chosen lender; MUDRA refinances the lender.
Eligible businesses: – Non-corporate, non-farm micro/small enterprises — manufacturing, services, trading – Sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLPs, private limited (if eligible size) – Examples: small shops, auto-repair, food vending, tailoring, beauty parlour, truck/taxi owner-operator, IT services, small manufacturing units
Not eligible: – Agricultural production activities (covered under KCC) – Corporate-size businesses – Services expressly excluded (e.g., speculation)
| Category | Loan amount | Typical use | Processing fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shishu | Up to ₹50,000 | Very early stage / starter capital | Nil |
| Kishor | ₹50,001 – ₹5,00,000 | Growth of existing business | 0.5% + GST (capped) |
| Tarun | ₹5,00,001 – ₹10,00,000 | Expansion, equipment purchase | 0.5% + GST |
| Tarun Plus (2024) | ₹10,00,001 – ₹20,00,000 | Repeat borrowers who successfully repaid a Tarun loan | 0.5% + GST |
Tarun Plus eligibility requires: – Successful track record of at least one previously-repaid Tarun loan – Regular account with no default history
No specific income or asset ceiling beyond the loan category limits.
MUDRA is lender-agnostic — you apply to whichever lender you prefer:
MUDRA itself does not subsidise interest — the rate is set by your lender and depends on: – Loan category (Shishu gets lower rates) – Lender type (PSU banks cheaper than NBFCs) – Your credit score and business track record – Tenure
Typical rate range: – PSU banks: 8.5% – 12% p.a. – Private banks: 10% – 14% p.a. – NBFCs: 12% – 24% p.a. – MFIs (for rural Shishu): 18% – 26% p.a. (higher due to operational cost)
After loan sanction for working-capital needs (Kishor, Tarun), you can request a MUDRA Card — a debit/RuPay card linked to your working-capital limit. Use it to pay suppliers, withdraw at ATMs, or swipe at POS. Every transaction is recorded and the revolving limit replenishes as you repay. Great for traders and small shopkeepers.
