It is a well-known fact that to establish, run and expand a business, an entrepreneur needs a considerable amount of money. However, at times, entrepreneurs of the future cannot secure enough funding for their business. To fund entrepreneurs and young start-ups, the Indian government came up with Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY). The organisation provides what is popularly known as a Mudra loan. The Mudra loan is approved and disbursed through public and private sector banks, NBFCs, small banks, rural banks, scheduled banks, and cooperative societies registered under the PMMY scheme.
The PMMY scheme has created three products: Shishu, Kishore, and Tarun, each of which has different eligibility criteria based on the stage of development. The Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana application form is now available on the portals of most banks that are officially authorised to offer the MUDRA loan.
To apply for the benefits of the MUDRA Yojana, you must follow the steps mentioned below:
Step 1: Apply for the Mudra loan by visiting the official website of the preferred financial institution and downloading the Mudra loan online application form.
Step 2: Fill in the MUDRA loan application form by providing your name, date of birth, residential/business address, and educational qualifications.
Step 3: In the KYC documents section, fill in your Voter ID number, Aadhaar number, and driving license numbers, among others. Also, specify your identity and address proofs.
Step 4: Now, fill in any other relevant details along with your email id. If you own a business, mention the line of business, the activity/purpose of the business, the proposed plan, annual sales, and other information, as requested on the PMMY form.
Step 5: Specify the loan amount and tenure of your choice. Enter your bank account details and read and understand the mentioned declaration carefully. Finally, fill in the date and place and sign the application form.
Step 6: Once you submit the application form by clicking on the ‘Submit’ button that you will see underneath, the financial institution will review the application. Once the loan application is approved, you will receive a MUDRA card, using which, you should be able to withdraw the amount from an ATM with the help of a Mudra card and use the funds to meet your business requirements.
The list of required documents for the MUDRA loan is mentioned towards the end of the application form. Applicants will also be needed to attach these documents with the form before submitting.
