Do I need GST for MUDRA?

Not always. It depends on turnover and business type. But banks may ask for it; alternatives include Shop Act/Udyam registrations.

What is the biggest reason for rejection?

Weak project report numbers, missing quotations, unclear business cashflows, and poor banking history.

Which category is easiest to get?

Shishu is usually easiest. Kishor/Tarun require stronger financials and sometimes collateral/guarantor depending on bank policy.
