What's the role of the One-Time Password (OTP) when I log in?
The OTP is a security code sent to your registered email. It's used to confirm your identity and ensure only you can access your account. You must enter this OTP and click "Login" to get to your customer dashboard.
What details do I need to fill in after logging in to update my profile?
After logging in, click on "Edit Profile" in the top right corner of your dashboard. You need to fill in all the mandatory profile information requested by the system. This is essential for processing and verifying your loan application.
What documents should I have ready before I start filling out the loan application?
Before you start, get all your Know Your Customer (KYC) documents and other supporting papers ready as listed in the application checklist. Also, prepare detailed biodata information for yourself (Promoter, Partner, or Director) as you'll need to upload these later.
Where can I find the loan application form after setting up my profile?
Once your profile is updated, go to the "Applications" tab on your customer dashboard. You'll find the loan application forms there.
What does the checklist show before I begin the loan application?
The checklist that appears before you proceed outlines the General Terms and Conditions, interest rates, investigation fees, and collateral security norms for your loan. Make sure you've reviewed these and gathered all your documents.
What kind of declaration do I need to agree to before submitting my application?
You'll need to read and agree to a declaration confirming that all the information you've provided is accurate and truthful. It also states that you haven't entered into any unauthorized borrowing and consent to PIPDIC officials conducting verification and investigations.
How many parts does the loan application have, and can I save it if I get interrupted?
The application form is split into several stages. While the system doesn't explicitly mention a save-and-resume feature, you must complete all required fields in each stage before moving to the next one.
After submitting my application details, how do I upload my KYC and supporting documents?
Once you finish the main application form, you'll be guided to enter your Promoter, Partner, or Director biodata in multiple steps. For each document required, click "Choose File," select the correct file from your computer (in the format specified), and upload it.
What are the fees for applying for a loan under this scheme?
If your loan amount is up to ₹25,00,000/-, the application fee is ₹100/-. For loan amounts exceeding ₹25,00,000/-, the fee is ₹200/-.
How do I pay the application fee, and what happens after I pay?
After submitting your application and biodata, proceed to pay the application fee. If you choose online payment, you'll be directed to a payment summary page to review your details and complete the transaction. A receipt will be generated automatically.
What should I do with the application fee receipt?
Once payment is successful, your application fee receipt will be generated. It's a good idea to print this receipt or save it as a PDF for your records.
