Question 1

How is MSME Loan EMI calculated?

Accepted Answer

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N − 1], where P is the loan principal, R is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and N is the tenure in months. Use the calculator above to compute it instantly for any combination of amount, rate, and tenure.

Question 2

What is the difference between fixed and floating interest rate for a msme loan?

Accepted Answer

A fixed rate stays the same for the entire tenure (or a defined period) — your EMI never changes. A floating rate is linked to an external benchmark (typically the RBI Repo Rate) and resets every quarter or with each RBI policy change. Floating rates are usually 0.5–1% cheaper on day 1 but carry the risk of going up. Most Indian borrowers pick floating because of zero prepayment penalties under RBI rules.

Question 3

Can I prepay or foreclose my msme loan without penalty?

Accepted Answer

For floating-rate retail loans, the RBI prohibits prepayment and foreclosure charges. For fixed-rate loans, lenders may charge 2–5% on the outstanding. Always check the lender's prepayment clause before signing — it's listed on each offer card above.

Question 4

What is the difference between MUDRA Shishu, Kishore, and Tarun loans?

Accepted Answer

Shishu: up to ₹50K (early-stage), Kishore: ₹50K–₹5L (growing business), Tarun: ₹5L–₹10L (established). All three are collateral-free under PMMY, with rates from 8.5–12%.

Question 5

What is CGTMSE coverage?

Accepted Answer

Credit Guarantee Trust for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) guarantees up to ₹5 crore of collateral-free loans for MSMEs. The trust covers 75–85% of the default, encouraging banks to lend without asking for property.
