Posted On: 01 AUG 2017 7:02PM by PIB Delhi
 

 As on 21.07.2017, about 6.28 crore loans have been extended to women entrepreneurs by various Member Lending Institutions (MLIs) under Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY). State/Union Territory wise details in respect of women entrepreneurs who have availed credit under PMMY are given in Annexure I.

 

76% of the borrowers under PMMY are women entrepreneurs. MLIs extend PMMY loans as per criteria and parameters determined by them. To encourage further coverage of women entrepreneurs, the Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency Ltd. (MUDRA) extends a rebate of 0.25% on its refinance interest rate for PMMY loans given by MLIs such as Micro Finance Institutions to women borrowers.
