The way our lives progress make it almost a certainty that at some point in time, each of us can fall short of money for an essential requirement. This requirement can take shape in various forms – money needed to buy a new home or office, funds required to finance expanded business operations or even money needed to pay for your child’s wedding.
While most of us prefer to borrow money privately from friends and relatives, these may prove inadequate at times. Hence, it is more prudent to approach banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in case one needs a loan. Banks have traditionally been the source of loan products for people, but this mindset has slowly changed over the years. Customers have realised the value of taking an NBFC loan instead of a bank loan.
The primary operational difference between NBFCs and banks is that NBFCs do not issue cheques drawn on themselves. Hence, they are not a part of the payment and settlement chain. Banks have conventionally charged a lower rate of interest on loans, but NBFCs have now surmounted this issue by borrowing from debt markets. Today, the interest rates between NBFC loans and bank loans are almost the same.
Customers find that NBFCs process their loan requests much faster than banks do. The former entity conducts quicker supervisory and background checks, which results in faster disbursal of funds. Thus, an NBFC loan is a better option for customers seeking quicker liquidity.
Banks are seen to give lower loan amounts than NBFCs, because they only count the property value as per current rates in their calculations. As opposed to this, an NBFC loan is higher because the loan counts property value, stamp duty and registration costs that the applicant has paid when computing the loan amount.
There are various kinds of NBFCs so the customer must choose the right one for his need. The categories operational currently are Finance, Infrastructure Finance, Systematically Important Core Investment (SICI), Investment and Loan.
Lastly, many premier NBFCs today have direct tie-ups with prestigious building development firms in India. These offer loans right from the construction phase onwards. Such loans are processed very quickly since the document scrutiny stage is not a long drawn one.
