Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the four categories of Mudra Loans?

Mudra loans are divided into: 1. Shishu (up to ₹50,000) for micro-startups. 2. Kishore (₹50,001 to ₹5 Lakh) for buying equipment/materials. 3. Tarun (₹5,00,001 to ₹10 Lakh) for established expansions. 4. Tarun Plus (₹10,00,001 to ₹20 Lakh) for experienced entrepreneurs with clean repayment histories on prior Mudra loans.

Is collateral required for a Mudra Loan?

As per RBI guidelines, commercial banks and lenders are instructed not to demand any third-party collateral or security for Mudra loans. The loans are backed by the Credit Guarantee Fund for Micro Units (CGFMU) administered by NCGTC. This ensures full compliance with the latest regulations, allowing you to estimate values correctly and avoid common filing errors.

What is the interest rate for a Mudra Loan?

Mudra loan interest rates are not fixed and vary across banks, NBFCs, and MFIs. They are typically linked to the lender's Base Rate / MCLR plus a small spread, generally ranging between 9% and 12% per annum. This ensures full compliance with the latest regulations, allowing you to estimate values correctly and avoid common filing errors.

How does the Udyam Registration help in applying for Mudra Loans?

Udyam registration is a mandatory registration for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India. Having a Udyam Registration Certificate is highly recommended (and often mandatory) by banks as part of the KYC and loan processing requirements. This ensures full compliance with the latest regulations, allowing you to estimate values correctly and avoid common filing errors.

  • Tarun Plus: ₹10,00,001 to ₹20,00,000 (requires successful repayment of previous Mudra loans).
  • The Subsidies: Women, SC/ST, and Minority applicants get prioritized interest rates and speedier approvals from lending institutions.

Real-World Calculation Breakdown

An entrepreneur needs a loan of ₹5,00,000 to expand her boutique in Maharashtra. She has a credit score of 740 and selects the woman entrepreneur category.

  • Collateral Required: ₹0 (No collateral is required under the scheme).
  • EMI Estimate: Assuming an interest rate of 10.00% for a 5-year tenure:
