Timely funds can help a small business manage working capital, expand operations or buy equipment. Before applying, you should understand the lender’s conditions and keep the documents ready.
Manappuram’s MSME loans are secured against property. This makes the MSME loan eligibility process straightforward compared with unsecured options, where approval may depend heavily on income, business vintage and credit score. Manappuram assesses the applicant’s profile, repayment capacity, collateral and loan purpose.
What is MSME Classification?
An enterprise is classified as micro, small or medium using two combined factors: investment in plant and machinery or equipment and annual turnover.
| Category | Maximum Investment | Maximum Annual Turnover |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | ₹2.5 crore | ₹10 crore |
| Small | ₹25 crore | ₹100 crore |
| Medium | ₹125 crore | ₹500 crore |
A business must remain within both limits for its category. The same classification applies to manufacturing and service enterprises.
Manappuram's MSME Loan Eligibility Criteria
The exact conditions may vary depending on whether you choose a Business Loan, Home Construction Loan, Home Purchase Loan, Home Improvement Loan or Loan Against Property. Common checks include:
- Eligibility: You must fall within the customer category permitted under the selected scheme, such as a business owner or self-employed applicant with a minimum income of ₹25,000/month.
- Permitted Purpose: The loan must be used for a purpose allowed under the scheme. A Business Loan may fund business development or working capital, while a Home Construction Loan is for constructing or reimbursing the cost of a newly built house.
- Acceptable Collateral: You must offer an eligible residential or commercial property with clear, verifiable ownership. The sanctioned amount depends partly on its assessed value.
- Repayment Capacity: Bank statements, income records and other available financial documents may be reviewed to assess repayment ability.
- Credit Profile: Manappuram considers the bureau score along with the customer profile, property type and other risk factors. The minimum bureau score has to be 560, and your business vintage should be 2 years.
- Successful Verification: KYC, property papers and scheme-specific documents must meet Manappuram’s underwriting policies.
Eligible borrowers may receive between ₹5 lakh and ₹50 lakh, subject to the scheme, property value and internal assessment.
