The need for MUDRA Yojana in West Bengal

According to the economists, the growth of the country depends upon the privately owned businesses. If these are empowered and made to prosper then the financial stability will return in the country.

MUDRA loans are highly essential for the budding entrepreneurs and not only that, but given the huge potential for business success in West Bengal, the MUDRA loans can become a significant game changer in the scenario here.

What is this scheme all about?

This bank was also proposed to have a credit corpus guarantee of 3000 crore.

This bank or scheme was then supposed to be developed through a statutory enactment. It would be responsible for the development and refinancing of the Micro Finance Institutions or MFIs. Since the MFIs are in the business where they lend to the newly opened businesses or to entrepreneurs of small and medium scale, the MUDRA banks will be providing the loans to the same.

So any business which is dealing in trading, manufacturing or service sector, can now obtain loan directly from the government and this scheme will then be known as “Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana”.

What exactly does it offer?

The main products of MUDRA will be covered under the categories named as ‘Shishu’, ‘Kishor’ and ‘Tarun’. These three products will be based on the stage of growth that the micro unit is currently at. It will also set a bar for the next stage of development of the beneficiary of the micro unit.

There are at present several different types of small and medium units in West Bengal. All of these businesses are at different stages of growth. Based on their individual position, they can obtain the loans up the following mark:

• Shishu: up to 50,000 INR.
• Kishor: above 50,000 and below 5 lakh INR.
• Tarun: above 5 lakh and up to 10 lakh INR.

So anyone from these sectors in the rural or urban areas can apply for the MUDRA loan. But the highest payable loan amount will be 10 lakh.

As we know there are so many hawkers, shop owners and micro unit businesses in West Bengal, it can support them in more ways than one.
