Features of the Scheme

Some of the features that make PMMY a very sought after scheme by the small businesses are highlighted below.

Loan amount

The loans under the PMMY are categorized under three heads/schemes. The basis of these categories is the amount of loans as well as the purpose of loans i.e. the stage of the business for which the loan is required.

Shishu Scheme

Loans under this scheme are for the very first stage of business, the beginning. Borrowers can get up to Rs. 50,000 as loans under this scheme. The rate of interest is comparatively lower than the other schemes under PMMY. The tenure of the loans can be up to 5 years.

Kishor Scheme

This scheme is for the business sustenance stage. Loans under this scheme can be for working capital or a term loan or a combination thereof. The tenure of the loan is up to 5 years but can be increased up to 7 years at the lender’s discretion. The loan amount available under the scheme is from Rs. 50,001 to Rs. 5,00,000.

Tarun Scheme

This is the highest loan scheme available under PMMY. Loans under this schema can be from Rs. 5,00,001 to Rs. 10,00,000. The rate of interest is higher as compared to the previous two schemes under PMMY and also the tenure can be extended to 7 years at the bank’s discretion from the normal tenure of 5 years available in general. Borrowers can seek loans under this scheme for growing their business organization, development of a new line, diversification or expansion or buying as new plant and machinery or equipment that will lead to a growth of the business unit

Rate of interest

The rate of interest under PMMY is usually lower as compared to other business loan products offered by the Banks and the NBFCs. The rate of interest generally starts from 8.65% and goes upwards depending on the lender and the scheme. Recently the Government of India has provided a relief to the small businesses that are hit by the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic in the form of an interest subvention of 2% on loans under the Shishu scheme. This measure will provide huge relief to the small entities that are going to face huge issues due to suspension of business activities during the lockdown as well as the demand issues post it.

Collateral

Loans under PMMY are collateral free. This ensures easy and timely access to the funds for the small business owners and ensures that their ownership remains intact and is not diluted for want of collateral by the lending institutions.

Tenure

The tenure for Mudra loans can be from 3 years to a maximum period of 5 years across all the schemes under PMMY. The tenure can be further extended to maximum 7 years upon a request by the borrower to the lender and at the lender’s discretion.

Processing cost

The processing cost under PMMY is zero or a nominal charge as a percentage of the loan amount depending on the lender.
