Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana

Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY), aims to be an integrated financial and services support provider, so as to create an inclusive, sustainable and value-based entrepreneurial culture and achieve economic, financial and social development in India.

The loans under MUDRA Yojana are granted for non-farm income-generating activities.

MUDRA Loans mainly fund the Non-Corporate Small Business Sector (NCSBS). Non-Corporate Small Business Segment consists of hundreds and thousands of small businesses like proprietorships, partnership firms, small manufacturing units, service sector units, shopkeepers, fruits/vegetable vendors, truck operators, food-service units, repair shops, machine operators, small industries, artisans, food processing units and so on in rural and urban areas.

The most haunting challenge is lack of financial support in this sector, because there’s little access to formal sources of finance. That’s how important a role the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) plays.
Highlights of Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana:

No processing fees
No collateral/security
A 5 years repayment period
