MSME stands for **Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise** - a Government of India classification covering businesses based on investment and turnover thresholds. MSME loans are unsecured credit products offered by banks, NBFCs, and government-backed schemes specifically to meet MSME working capital and growth needs. MSME loans are sometimes also referred to as **SME loans** (Small and Medium Enterprise loans). The terms are used interchangeably for unsecured credit aimed at smaller businesses. In India, there are approximately 4 crore (40 million) registered MSMEs, with the number growing every day. MSMEs are a critical engine of the Indian economy but historically face difficulty accessing affordable, timely credit from traditional lenders.
