In March 2015, Muthoot Microfin Limited (MML) obtained a microfinance institution (MFI) license as a non-banking financial company (NBFC-MFI) from the Reserve Bank of India.[13][16][17]

In 2021, Muthoot Microfin Ltd launched Mahila Mitra app to help rural women beneficiaries with repayment.[18][19]
