The MUDRA scheme, also known as Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency scheme, was introduced on April 8, 2015, with the goal of assisting small or micro firms by providing refinancing. This scheme offers loans of up to Rs. 10 Lakhs to non-corporate, non-farm small/micro firms and these loans are known as MUDRA Loans. The government offers these loans to borrowers through Banks, MFIs, and NBFCs. With the help of this loan, small/micro organizations can grow their businesses.

The MUDRA scheme is classified into three categories that are 'Shishu, Kishore, and Tarun.’

Each category offers different funding in accordance with the requirements of the borrower.

Shishu: Upto Rs. 50,000
Kishore: Between Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 5 Lakhs
Tarun: Between Rs. 5 Lakhs to Rs. 10 Lakhs

This financing, however, is not accessible to every entrepreneur. The government has created a list of enterprises that are qualified for a MUDRA Loan. As a result, before applying for this loan, you must determine whether your business falls under the MUDRA scheme or not.
