At approximately 10NM SW of JANUD at 5;500ft; received a terrain warning with a aural 'PULL UP'. Took evasive action and climbed to 7;500ft and leveled off.  Notified ATC of the climb and warning. ATC informed us that MVA is 5;300ft and that we should not have received the EGPWS; but that it happens at times. We then were cleared for the approach and continued the the flight as normal.
