The Union Cabinet has extended the Credit Guarantee Fund for Micro Units through March 31, 2031, with a ₹5,000 crore corpus. The fund protects lenders against default on eligible loans, including Mudra loans of up to ₹20 lakh for microenterprises.
The Ministry of Finance estimates that the extension will support ₹12.6 lakh crore in lending over five years.
The annual guarantee fee falls from 1% to 0.75%. The fee for self-help group loans remains unchanged, the ministry said.
