A legally binding loan agreement is signed between the borrower and all his lenders which can be used in court
in case of default.

Loan Disbursal begins only after three conditions are fulfilled

1) The borrower is at least 75% funded,

2) Legally-binding loan agreement has been signed by the Borrower

3) Security cheques have been collected from the borrower.

Once the above requirements are met, the funds are transferred from the Lender’s Escrow account to the Borrowers
bank account. EMI dates are fixed at either 1st, 5th and 10th of the month

For loans disbursed before the 15th of a month, EMIs are payable from the month following the disbursal
e.g. Disbursal Date: March 12th, First EMI payable in April.

For loans disbursed after the 15th of a month, EMIs are payable 2 months from the disbursal month.
e.g. Disbursal Date: March 27th, First EMI payable in May.

With both principal and interest accruing month on month, re-investing EMIs leads to compounding benefits and
results in higher returns. Data shows that reinvesting can lead to up to 10% higher net returns.

Lenders must factor in a default ratio while computing expected NAR (Net Annualized Returns). Even though we
try our best to mitigate risks, defaults can and do happen.
