What does MUDRA stand for?

An institution founded for micro finance organizations refinancing is Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency Ltd. it helps not only micro-institutions of finance like NBFCs, banks, etc. but also different financial intermediaries which lend money to processing, manufacturing, and trading. It helps those service industries, the credit demand of which does not exceed 10 lakh.

Small banks are provided accessibility support by MUDRA, also MFIs and NBFCs for Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yajana. Apart from refinancing merchandise, development support will also be provided by MUDRA through several products to business sectors.

When MUDRA was launched, it was a subsidiary of SIDBI (Small Industries Development Bank of India), along with its 100% capital contribution. MUDRA’s authorized capital is now Rs 1,000 crore, and the paid-up capital is Rs 750 crore. Both these funds are supplied entirely by SIDBI.

Why did MUDRA Yajana come into existence?

In the economic sector of our country, the MSMEs or Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises are Indian economy’s backbone, involving approximately 10 crore people. The NSSO Survey that took place in the year 2013 explicitly stated that in India, the number of MSMEs is 5.77 crore. A large number of these enterprises are fathered by Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes and different Backward Classes in the country.

MSMEs are also famous by the name of Non-Corporate Small Business Sectors, that is, NCSBS. The gross amount of money that these small business sectors add to the economy of the country every year is Rs 6 lakh crore, and therefore, it can be considered as a significant segment of the country’s business. Most of the MSME organizations are proprietary or enterprises owned by single owners. The small sectors are engaged in processing, manufacturing, and commercial businesses. These companies, owned by sole owners, have remained underfinanced and unfinanced for years. Formal credit institutions usually do not offer financial help to such companies. Thus, unauthorized personal lenders like chit funds, relatives and friends are their only source of economic support. As per records, only 15% of the total amount that the banks invest in loans every year is received by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. What is most unfortunate is that personal credit lines are not regulated, and therefore, in several cases, the debtor becomes the victim in the end. The debtor is thus, forced to file a complaint against the person to whom he has given money. In such cases, the MSMEs not only suffer from lack of growth opportunities but also lose its reputation and financial viability in the market.

The quick setup of Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yajana resolves to fix all the problems mentioned above that Non-Corporate Small Business Sectors have to face, particularly in the initial stages of their business. The goal of the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yajana is to provide funds to those who remain unfunded. MUDRA looks forward to providing opportunities for generating income to those who are actually at the financial pyramid’s bottom. It wants to create and sustain a robust business ecosystem- one that is expected to provide sustenance to the lives of at least 50 crore inhabitants of the nation.
