PMMY Kishore — MUDRA Loan ₹50,000 to ₹5 Lakh — Frequently Asked Questions

Non-farm micro-enterprises that are already operating and need capital to grow — including small manufacturers, service providers, retailers, and repair shops — can apply through any MUDRA-empanelled bank, MFI, or NBFC.

Loans under the Kishore category range from ₹50,001 to ₹5 lakh. For smaller needs, consider the Shishu category (up to ₹50,000); for larger requirements, the Tarun (up to ₹10 lakh) or Tarun+ (up to ₹20 lakh) categories may be suitable.

No collateral is required. Lenders assess your repayment capacity based on business cash flows rather than asking for physical security.

Interest rates are determined by the individual lender. There is no statutory cap for the Kishore tier beyond the general RBI MSME lending guidelines. It is advisable to compare rates across different banks, RRBs, MFIs, and NBFCs before applying.

The loan can be used for any non-farm income-generating activity, such as scaling equipment, increasing inventory, expanding to new markets, or managing working capital needs for manufacturing, services, or trading sectors.
