The loans would be in the range of Rs 2 lakh-Rs 12 lakh and all branches under this programme would be manned exclusively by women staff.

MALA is designed to offer loans to salaried working women in private companies, small scale industries, nursing and paramedic attendants, housekeeping staff, peons in schools/colleges, maid servants, cooks. L

MALA’s first branch has been launched in Naigaon, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). All branches under MALA program would be exclusively manned by women staff.
