MFI Grading

Microfinance involves providing credit, thrift, and other financial services and products to the economically underprivileged, to enable them to raise their income levels and living standards. Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) act as facilitators towards this end.

In line with its objective of helping markets function better, Crisil pioneered the concept of MFI grading and assessment services in India. We have, so far, assessed over 270 MFIs.

  • Crisil's opinion on sustainability and scalability
    of the rated MFI
  • One-time assessment based on the information
    provided by the MFI
  • Based on an eight-point scale - mfR1 (highest)
    to mfR8 (lowest)
