The Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY) was launched on April 8, 2015, for providing loans upto 10 lakh to the non-corporate, non-farm small/micro enterprises.

PMMY is a flagship scheme of Government of India to “fund the unfunded” by bringing such enterprises to the formal financial system and extending affordable credit to them.

These loans are classified as MUDRA loans under PMMY. These loans are given by commercial banks, RRBs, small finance banks, cooperative banks, MFIs and NBFCs.

The borrower can approach any of the lending institutions mentioned above or can apply online through this portal.

Under the aegis of PMMY, MUDRA has created three products namely ‘Shishu’, ‘Kishore’ and ‘Tarun’ to signify the stage of growth / development and funding needs of the beneficiary micro unit / entrepreneur and also provide a reference point for the next phase of graduation / growth.
