Answer

LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited) needs to verify the data and KYC documents provided by Lenders in accordance with the Master Directions laid down by RBI. LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited), however, reserves the right to reject any application for registration or terminate the registration of the Lender or refund any funds received from the Lender without reason.

Answer

As per the updated RBI guidelines of Dec 2019, the following limits are applicable to any person(s) lending on P2P platforms:

1. A Lender can maximum lend INR. 50 lakhs across all P2P lending platforms
2. A Lender can maximum fund INR. 50,000 per loan
3. The maturity of the loans shall not exceed 36 months. However, LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited) platform is currently only accepting a maximum of Rs. 10 Lakhs per PAN from any investor. The lender lending more than Rs. 10 Lakhs across P2P platforms shall mandatorily need to produce a certificate to P2P platforms from a practicing Chartered Accountant certifying minimum net-worth of Rs. 50 Lakhs. LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited) platform has various offerings for Lenders and depending on the scheme option the minimum amount / holding period can differ. Lenders opting for the auto-invest feature are strongly recommended to invest a minimum of Rs. 1 Lakh to have a granularly diversified borrower portfolio.

Answer

1. Process to Lend Funds via the Platform:
   A Lender can remit funds to the lender’s escrow account using any of the following methods: Log in to their LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited) account, click on Wallet, then click on “Add Money” icon on the top left corner of the dashboard and enter the amount they wish to transfer. The funds can be transferred in the Lender’s Escrow account through NEFT / RTGS / IMPS. The funds can also be transferred through the Payment Gateway using Net Banking or UPI. If the funds are remitted through NEFT / RTGS / IMPS, the lender mandatorily needs to update the fund transfer reference no. on the dashboard.
2. Manual Lending Feature:
   Lenders who want to manually view / assess / analyse / underwrite individual borrowers seeking loans (as and when available on the marketplace) – their profile, loan requirement details, credit score, monthly income etc. can opt to do so & then fund either a part or the full loan amount (Upto Max. Rs. 50,000 to one borrower). As and when that borrower gets commitment of total funds seeked by them, the lender needs to enter into a loan agreement with the borrower & once the agreement is duly signed by all lenders subscribing to the same loan, the committed funds need to transferred to the escrow account. To ensure a seamless and swift process for the borrower, any requirement listed by a borrower is initially matched to the auto-invest criteria set by existing lenders, if any. If the entire loan requirement is fulfilled via such matching, the borrower is immediately informed and the loan is pushed to the next stage without listing on the primary marketplace. Such loans will be reflected under the recently funded tab in the primary marketplace. The unsubscribed portion of the loan, whether in part or full, will be listed in the primary marketplace.
3. Auto-Invest Feature:
   LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited) platform offers an auto-invest feature to Lenders on the platform to have a hassle-free experience while lending to the borrowers. The Lender needs to define their criteria and basis the predefined parameters approved / NACH by the lender; funds will be automatically lent to the listed eligible borrowers / loans on the platform satisfying their predefined parameters. Auto-invest feature aims to granularly diversify the funds lent to the borrowers, which can be difficult while selecting borrowers manually. High level of diversification leads to negligible concentration on any one borrower hence reduces the risk of concentration with any particular borrower.

Answer

Lenders can expect a net pre-tax yield ranging upto 7.50% to 10% XIRR Max. on the net invested amount. LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited), however, does NOT guarantee any returns. In the past, our Lenders have earned an average return up to 10.5% - 12% XIRR depending on the scheme opted by them. Each lender should evaluate their risk appetite and understand all the risks associated with the lending transactions and that P2P platform does not assure return of principal / payment of interest. The platform shall NOT be held liable for any loss of capital or returns.

In the past, lenders have been able to sell their loan portfolio in the secondary marketplace within 2 days on our platform.

The Indicative yield and loan servicing fees charged by the platform shall differ depending on the scheme options selected by the Lender on the platform. However, if the Lender wants to pay the fees upfront, they can indicate the same to LiquiLoans (NDX P2P Private Limited) in writing.
