What is MSME / SME Loan?

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME), also referred to as small and medium enterprises (SME), are businesses considered to be the backbone of our economy. They not only provide employment to millions of people around the country but also generate revenue for the governments by paying their taxes. Banks and Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in India offer a variety of financial products such as MSME / SME Loans to meet the needs of these businesses.

With competitive rates, a simple loan application process, and quick disbursal of the loan amount, MSME / SME Loans are one of the best choices available for entrepreneurs to meet the financial needs of their business.
