Explanation

Shishu, Kishor, and Tarun are the three loan categories under the Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY), which is managed by the Micro Units Development & Refinance Agency Ltd. (MUDRA) [1]. These categories signify the stage of growth and funding requirements of the beneficiary micro-units or entrepreneurs [1]. The 'Shishu' category covers loans up to ₹50,000 for startups; 'Kishor' covers loans above ₹50,000 and up to ₹5 lakh for established units seeking expansion; and 'Tarun' covers loans above ₹5 lakh and up to ₹10 lakh for larger credit needs [3]. MUDRA functions as a subsidiary of the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and operates primarily as a refinancing institution, providing liquidity to Regional Rural Banks (RRBs), commercial banks, and other financial intermediaries that lend to the non-corporate small business sector [1].
