Microfinance has emerged as a medium of extending financial services to the unbanked sections of population. In India, microfinance evolved in the late 1980s and exists under various legal structures such as Trusts, Societies, Section 25 companies under Companies Act 1956, Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and Non-Banking Financial Companies - Microfinance Institutions (NBFC-MFIs). Sustainability and outreach are widely discussed issues in the field of microfinance today. An MFI cannot help the poor in the long run, if it cannot survive in the absence of financial resources. In this paper, the link between financial sustainability and outreach of MFIs is analysed.
