The loans are undertaken without human intervention till sanction and or disbursement stage.

The web portal sets a new benchmark in loan processing and reduces the turnaround time from 20-25 days to 59 minutes. Subsequent to the principle approval, the loan will be disbursed in 7-8 working days.

A MSME borrower is not required to submit any physical document for in-principle approval.
