SBI MUDRA Loan FAQs
What is the interest rate of the SBI MUDRA loan of Rs. 50,000?
The interest rate is linked to the bank’s External Benchmark Lending Rate (EBLR); for example, SBI charges 3.25% above EBLR.
Do we need a CIBIL score for a MUDRA loan?
No, a CIBIL score is not mandatory for applying under MUDRA; many lenders accept applications even if you don’t have a credit history. However, having a good credit history/CIBIL score can improve your chances of approval and better terms.
Why was my MUDRA loan rejected?
Common reasons include incomplete or mismatched documentation, non-registered/unstable business operations, lack of proof of business activity, or weak credit history. Also applying for a loan amount too high relative to the business profile or using mismatched KYC details can trigger rejection.
Can I get a MUDRA loan without income proof?
Yes, for the “Shishu” category (loans up to ₹50,000) lenders may waive strict income proof requirements. For larger amounts (Kishore or Tarun categories) banks generally expect business proof, bank statements or ITRs to assess repayment capacity.
How many days does it take to get a MUDRA loan through SBI?
For the Shishu category, the turnaround is typically 7-10 working days after submission of all correct documents. After sanction, disbursement may take additional days; delays can occur due to verification, branch processing or missing documentation.
Is a MUDRA loan interest-free?
No, MUDRA loans are not interest-free. Interest is charged by the lending bank under the scheme; there is no government subsidy making them zero interest.
