MUDRA Bank or Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Bank, is a new initiative by the Government of India set up for the development of micro units and refinance of MFIs. This bank has been conceptualized in order to encourage entrepreneurship, by offering funds to the non-corporate small business sector. The MUDRA Yojana was announced by the Finance Minister during FY2016’s Union Budget. According to this scheme, the loan under Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) can be availed by any Indian citizen, with a credit requirement of Rs 10 lakh and has a business plan for a non-farm sector income generating activity such as trading, manufacturing, service sector, or processing. A Bank, MFI (Micro Finance Institution), or NBFC (Non-Banking Finance Company) can be approached for availing of MUDRA loans.
The MUDRA Bank covers industries and other service sectors that are operating in rural areas of the country.
