Important: What Mudra loans don't cover
Mudra loans are only for non-agricultural activities. Farmers cannot use Mudra loans for crop cultivation. However, agri-allied businesses like poultry, fisheries, or food processing can qualify.
Interest rates and repayment
Mudra loan rates vary by bank — typically between 8% and 12% per year. Public sector banks in Malda like SBI, UCO Bank, and Bank of Baroda are common lenders. Repayment tenures go up to 5 years for most loans. There is no collateral required for any Mudra loan category.
