Title: Peer to Peer lending in India
1Peer to Peer Lending in India
2Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a method of debt
financing that enables individuals to borrow and
lend money without the use of traditional Banking
system. Usually, a person who is looking to
invest (Lender) his/her money lends it among
borrowers looking for a short term credit. This
is where Peer to Peer Lending platforms act as a
platform for investment.
3- 3 important factors which make P2P lending
different from other investment options -
- Compounding Interest through monthly cash flow-
P2P lending is an instrument which fetches
monthly cash flows with interest payments. This
interest earned can be reinvested to earn
compounding interest. - Solid returns- Sustained high returns on
investment make P2P lending a sought-after
investment option for fixed income investors. - No volatility - Traditional instruments such as
equity, forex, commodity etc. have high
volatility inherent to them, resulting in
notional or actual losses. P2P lending offers
zero volatility with expected high returns.
4- RBIs guidelines have addressed some of the key
concerns of the industry and cleared many
unregulated practices. RBI regulations are as
follow - P2P Platform will only serve as mediators for
matching and originating loan deals between
lenders and borrowers. - Lenders can lend a maximum of INR 10,00,000
across P2P lending platforms - All P2P must ensure confidentiality of customer
data and offer complete transparency in its
operations. - Need to submit regular financial reports, loan
arrangement deals, a summary of complaints filed
by borrowers or lenders with RBI.
