    MUDRA bank not to regulate MFIs
  • Government has said that the MUDRA (Micro Unit Development and Refinance Agency) Bank will not act as regulator for Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs)

    RBI will continue to regulate them as NBFCs (Non-Banking Finance Companies) as it was doing earlier.

    The clarification comes as Finance Ministry had proposed last year on 1 March 2015 that MUDRA apart from refinancing may also regulate MFIs.

    Credits:
  • Microfinance is a developmental tool that aims to make low income individuals/groups financially self-sufficient by providing them access to cheap credit to help them improve their living condition.

    Microfinance services include providing credit, saving instruments, insurance, money transfers, financial counseling, etc.

    They act as last mile lenders for poor people as banks may not find catering to them economically feasible.

  • Information

    Size of the microfinance sector

  • According to the Indian Credit Rating Agency (ICRA), the size of microfinance sector in India stood at Rs.1.1 lakh crore as on 30 September 2015.

    Financing the unfinanced

    Financing the unfinanced
    Credits:
  • According to the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) 2013 survey, India has 57.7 million small business units, majority of which are owned by Scheduled Castes(SCs), Scheduled Tribes(STs) and Other Backward Castes(OBCs) people.

    Only a paltry 4% of these units get institutional finance, leaving others to borrow money at usurious rates from money lenders.

    Providing cheap finance can turn them into a potent economic force.

  • Information

    Rs.20,000 crore fund for MUDRA

  • The FM during his 2015 budget speech had announced a Rs.20,000 crore corpus fund for MUDRA (Micro Units Development Refinance Agency) over a period of 4 years along with a Rs.3000 crore credit guarantee fund to provide insurance to the extent of 50% against default of MUDRA loans.
