You will receive Rs.900 from Mudrakwik after deducting the processing fee and other applicable charges. All you have to do is pay an amount of say Rs 50 for 20 days which will clear your loan. You will be eligible for the next maximum loan amount when the previous loan amount is cleared. You can continue availing the loan and paying back the amount in time.

Is Mudrakwik genuine?

Though the amount app charges as a subscription fee is minimal, they ask the money upfront without letting users check the platform. The app says, that once subscribed, the loan disbursal will be faster, a lot of customers have complained that even after paying and meeting all eligibility criteria, the loan was not disbursed and no reason was provided. A lot of customers have also complained that even though they have paid subscription fees, they are not able to access the complete app, the app again asks them for payment.

This is one side of the story, on the other side, they have a lot of happy customers. The app is still in its early days and hopefully, in the coming months, they will improve the app and remove all the bugs.
