Loans for Handloom Weavers & Artisans
Handloom weavers borrow under the Concessional Credit and Weaver MUDRA arrangement, administered through the Handloom Weaver MUDRA Portal. The distinguishing terms are a 6% interest rate to the weaver, margin money assistance at 20% of the loan amount, and a credit guarantee running for 3 years. Loans up to ₹10 lakh are routed under MUDRA and above that under Concessional Credit. Handloom is a significant occupation across both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and weavers who have only ever borrowed from a trader or a private lender are often surprised the concessional route exists at all. One figure needs care: the per-weaver cap on margin money has been revised, and older bank pages have not all caught up - see the FAQ below.

Why Handloom Weavers & Artisans Get Better Rates
6% Interest to the Weaver
The concessional route carries a 6% interest rate to the weaver, which is the single largest difference from borrowing against yarn from a trader or a private lender.
Margin Money Assistance at 20%
Margin money assistance is provided at 20% of the loan amount, subject to a per-weaver cap that has been revised over time.
3-Year Credit Guarantee
Credit guarantee cover runs for a period of 3 years, which is what allows a lender to fund a weaver with no conventional collateral.
Applied Through a Dedicated Portal
Applications run through the Handloom Weaver MUDRA Portal rather than depending on whether a particular branch is familiar with the scheme.
