PM Mudra Yojana is India's largest micro-credit programme, having disbursed over ₹27 lakh crore to more than 47 crore beneficiaries since its launch in 2015. Yet many small business owners hesitate to apply, believing collateral is required or that the process is complicated. It is not. This guide explains exactly how to apply for a Mudra Tarun loan (₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh) at SBI — the largest MUDRA lender in India — with zero collateral, from documentation to disbursement.
Mudra Tarun loans range from ₹5,00,001 to ₹10,00,000 and are meant for established micro enterprises seeking expansion capital. You qualify if you have a non-farm business (manufacturing, trading, or services) that has been operating for at least 1–2 years with documentary evidence. No collateral or third-party guarantee is required for loans up to ₹10 lakh under the Credit Guarantee Fund for Micro Units (CGFMU). Your business must be a proprietary firm, partnership, company, or LLP. The business must have a valid GST registration (for loans above ₹5 lakh, banks typically require GST). Both new and existing borrowers are eligible — if you have a Shishu or Kishor loan with a clean repayment record, you have a strong case for a Tarun loan.
Personal documents: Aadhaar card + PAN card (both mandatory). Address proof: Aadhaar, passport, utility bill, or rent agreement. Photographs: 2 passport-size photographs. Business documents: GST registration certificate, business registration (Udyam/Udyog Aadhaar), trade licence or shop establishment certificate, 2 years of ITR or CA-certified accounts (if available), bank statements of 6–12 months. Business plan: A simple project report mentioning the purpose of the loan, how the amount will be used, and projected revenue. SBI may ask for a quotation or invoice if the loan is for purchasing machinery or equipment. At SBI, you can submit the application at any branch — dedicated MUDRA loan counters exist at most branches.

Step 1: Visit pmkisan.gov.in or mudra.org.in to understand the scheme — familiarise yourself with the CGFMU guarantee before visiting the bank. Step 2: Visit your nearest SBI branch and ask for the MUDRA Tarun loan application form (Form Mudra T). Step 3: Fill the application with business details, loan purpose, and repayment capacity. Step 4: Submit with all supporting documents. The bank relationship manager may visit your business premises for verification (especially for loans above ₹7.5 lakh). Step 5: Loan sanction typically takes 7–21 working days. Once sanctioned, the amount is credited to your business current account. You can also apply online via the SBI YONO app or SBI Business Portal for faster processing.
SBI's Mudra Tarun loan interest rate in 2026 is typically MCLR + 2.25% to 3.5% per annum — effectively 10.5% to 12.5% for most borrowers. The actual rate depends on your credit score (CIBIL), business vintage, and cash flow. For MSME borrowers with CIBIL score above 750, SBI occasionally offers concessional rates. Repayment tenure: up to 5 years (60 months) for working capital loans, up to 7 years for term loans (machinery or equipment). No prepayment penalty is charged on MUDRA loans — you can close the loan early without any charges. A 3–6 month moratorium on principal repayment is typically available for fresh loan disbursements.
The most common rejection reasons for Mudra Tarun loans at SBI are: CIBIL score below 650 (check your score free at SBI's portal before applying — settle any outstanding defaults first), incomplete business documents (missing GST or business registration is the most frequent issue), unrealistic project report (the bank's credit officer must believe you can repay ₹10 lakh — your cash flow projections must be consistent with your business scale), and insufficient business vintage (less than 1 year with no documented sales). The fix: get your Udyam registration (free, online at udyamregistration.gov.in) before applying — it gives your business official MSME status and significantly improves your MUDRA loan approval chances.
