Dream Big, Start Strong: Government Is Offering Loans Up To Rs 10 Lakh To Start Your Venture
The primary objective of PMMY is to empower unemployed youth and aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of establishing their businesses.
New Delhi: In recognition of the transformative potential of the nation’s youth, the Indian government has introduced several schemes to foster self-reliance and entrepreneurship among young individuals. One such initiative is the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY), launched in 2015 with a focus on enhancing entrepreneurial skills and providing financial support to the youth.
Purpose And Focus Of PMMY
The primary objective of PMMY is to empower unemployed youth and aspiring entrepreneurs who dream of establishing their businesses.
Additionally, the scheme caters to small business owners seeking funds for business expansion. Unlike many other loan schemes, PMMY focuses on non-corporate and non-agricultural purposes.
Collateral-Free Financial Support
A standout feature of PMMY is that it offers collateral-free loans. Unlike traditional loans where borrowers must mortgage their property as security, PM Mudra Loans eliminate this requirement, providing a unique opportunity for individuals without substantial assets to receive financial assistance.
Loan Categories And Limits
PMMY offers loans in three categories, each tailored to different financial needs:
Shishu Loan: Financial assistance of up to Rs 50,000.
Kishore Loan: Loans extending up to Rs 5 lakh.
Tarun Loan: A higher loan limit, granting up to Rs 10 lakh.
Eligibility Criteria For Applicants
To be eligible for PMMY, applicants must meet certain criteria:
- The applicant must be a citizen of India.
- No history of bank defaults by the applicant.
- The business seeking a Mudra loan should not be a corporate institution.
- The applicant must possess a valid bank account.
- The applicant’s age should be over 18 years.
