Fair Practice Code

Our commitment to transparency, ethical lending practices, and customer protection

Background

The Reserve Bank of India has issued guidelines on Fair Practices Code for Non-Banking Finance Companies which sets the fair practices standards when dealing with individual customers and serves as a part of best corporate practice.

In view of this, LoanMitraa has adopted this code to provide transparency in business dealings with its borrowers.

Application of Code

This Fair Practices Code applies to all categories of products and services offered by LoanMitraa, whether the products and services are provided across the counter, over the phone, through interactive electronic devices, on the internet, or by any other method.
