Project Report Under Mudra Loans

It provides the viewers of the report a detailed idea of the project cost, scale of activities (proposed and existing), existing debt (if any), revenue projections, etc.

The project report should be complete and with valid data so as to be easily accepted and approved for sanctioning of the loans under PMMY.
