Returns and Fees

Unlike in the case of conventional financial institutions, it is not Finsafe Advisors Pvt Ltd but the Lender who decides how much return they want to earn. Interest rate agreements are entirely between lenders and borrowers across the platform in which Finsafe Advisors Pvt Ltd has no intervention. We recommend that investment should be spread, such that returns are a weighted average of the individual loan parts. This is explained through an illustration below.

For example, on a loan of Rs. 150,000 spread across 3 borrowers, for a period of 1 year at various interest rates; the returns can be as follows:

So, in the example above the lender is earning on an average 16% interest on total investment. Also, Interest earnings can be more or less depending on loan amount split across interest rates. For egs the lender may decide to lend only Rs. 20,000/- @ 12% and increase the amount to Rs. 60,000/- @ 16% and to Rs. 70,000/- @ 20%. This will increase the lender’s average return. At Finsafe Advisors Pvt Ltd, what amount to lend at what interest rate is controlled by the lender depending on his/her judgment and negotiating skills.

Non-Payment of EMI

In case the EMI is not paid on the due date by Borrower(s), additional penal interest applicable as per Finsafe Advisors Pvt Ltd Policy will be applied to the due amount for the duration of delay which Borrowers will be liable to pay directly to their Lender(s). A penal interest of Rs. 100/- for delays upto 10 days and Rs. 250/- for delays of more than 10 days will be payable by the Borrower directly to the Lender. These charges are applicable for each instance of delayed repayment.

Though we do our best to manage the risk at every step, defaults may happen. In such a scenario, Finsafe Advisors Pvt Ltd will facilitate the collection through our in-house collection mechanism and also send a legal notice on behalf of the lender to the borrower. A non-refundable charge of Rs. 100/- per legal notice will be payable by the lender to Finsafe Advisors Pvt Ltd.
