What is Mudra Loan?

MUDRA is a revolutionary scheme launched by the Government of India under the banner of PMMY (Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana). This scheme was inaugurated by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on April 8, 2015. Mudra Loan is aimed to cater the non-farm small firms and non-corporate enterprises by providing them loan up to 10 Lakh Rupees. Only the microenterprises can avail Mudra Loan Eligibility. Moreover, Mudra Loan also strives to become an integrated capital support for the aforementioned enterprises and give them top-notch and reliable business aid aimed at overall development.
