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.

कहां से आवेदन करें — Where to Apply

  • PSU banks — SBI, PNB, BoB, Canara, Union, BoI, Indian Bank, IOB, Central Bank
  • Private banks — HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, IndusInd, Yes Bank, IDFC First
  • Small Finance Banks — Equitas, Ujjivan, Suryoday, AU, ESAF (often most responsive for Shishu/Kishor)
  • Regional Rural Banks and Cooperative Banks

NBFCs & MFIs

  • Dedicated small-business NBFCs (Bajaj Finserv, Aditya Birla, Shriram, etc.)
  • Microfinance Institutions serving rural/semi-urban areas
  • Higher interest than banks, but often faster approval

Online

  • https://udyamimitra.in — the official MUDRA matchmaking portal; you fill one application, it routes to 3 eligible lenders
  • JanSamarth portal — aggregates multiple govt credit schemes including MUDRA

आवेदन प्रक्रिया — Application Process

In-branch (most common)

  1. Visit your preferred bank / NBFC branch
  2. Collect the MUDRA application form (one-page for Shishu, longer for higher categories)
  3. Attach KYC + business documents + bank statements + plan
  4. Submit — get your application number
  5. Bank does credit check + verification (usually 7-15 working days)
  6. Approval → loan disbursal to your bank account
  7. For existing account holders, pre-approved Mudra loan offers appear in net banking — instant approval

Online via udyamimitra.in

  1. Register with email + mobile
  2. Fill application with Aadhaar e-KYC
  3. Upload documents
  4. Select preferred lender OR let the portal recommend 3
  5. Lender(s) reach out within 2-7 days
  6. Complete formalities → disbursal

Typical timelines

  • Shishu at existing bank: same day to 7 days
  • Kishor/Tarun at new lender: 15-45 days
  • Tarun Plus: 30-60 days (more due diligence)

Interest Rate

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)

MUDRA Card

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.

What If You’re Rejected

  • Reasons are usually: low CIBIL (< 650), weak business plan, insufficient income proof, existing loan default
  • Ask the lender for written reason (RBI rule)
  • Fix CIBIL (pay overdue credit cards, settle old loans)
  • Re-apply after 3-6 months with improved score
  • Try a different lender — approval decisions are lender-specific
