The Government of India started this scheme in the year 2015. This scheme directly benefits those people who are unable to start their new business due to lack of resources.
Under the scheme, the beneficiary gets a Mudra card. A Mudra card is used just like a debit card. With the help of this card, you can take money for the expenses related to your business.
