FAQs on MUDRA Loan Eligibility

  • How can I increase my Mudra loan eligibility?

    You can increase your eligibility for a Mudra Loan by increasing your revenue stream, keeping up a solid repayment record, not defaulting on any previous loans, and building your creditworthiness.

  • Will my poor credit score prevent me from being approved for a Mudra loan?

    Banks typically do not run credit checks prior to authorising Mudra loans. But to safeguard your financial future, keep your credit score high.

  • How can I find out if I qualify for a Mudra loan?

    By going to the chosen bank's official website and providing the necessary information to meet the requirements, you can verify your eligibility for a Mudra loan.

  • Does obtaining a Mudra loan require me to have an account at the same bank?

    No, applying for a Mudra loan from a bank where you have an account is not required. On the other hand, opening an account with the same bank may increase your chances of being approved for a Mudra loan.

  • Do banks and NBFCs need a credit score to grant a Mudra loan?

    No, if an applicant is seeking for a Mudra loan, Banks or NBFCs do not verify the applicant's credit score.

  • Are MUDRA loans available to purchase a car, tempo, or taxi?

    Yes, but only in the event that the applicant intends to use these cars—such as tempos, taxis, and autorickshaws—for business travel.

  • Do Mudra loans charge interest?

    Depending on the category (Shishu, Kishor, or Tarun), different interest rates apply to Pradhan Mantri Mudra Loans. They often fall between 8% and 12%.
