LTCV Credit Private Limited
Equall is the retail lending brand of LTCV Credit Private Limited, a registered NBFC ("we"). This Policy explains how we set interest rates and charges on our loan products, in line with our Board's obligations under the RBI (Non-Banking Financial Companies – Responsible Business Conduct) Directions, 2025, which require NBFCs to maintain a documented, risk-based pricing framework and to disclose the basis on which rates can differ across borrowers.
We lend to borrowers at a fixed rate of interest, decided at the time of sanction based on the factors set out below.
Every loan we price starts from the same base cost, and is then adjusted for the individual borrower's risk.
A borrower's assessed risk shapes the rate on offer – lower risk means a lower rate, higher risk a higher one. Two customers taking the same product for the same tenor can end up with different rates as a result.
Put together, these factors generally place our annualised interest rate in a range of 15% to 36% per annum, computed on the daily reducing balance and charged at the frequency stated in the loan agreement.
These figures cover the majority of our digitally sourced fresh portfolio; individual pricing can fall outside this range depending on a borrower's risk profile and related aspects.
| Component | What Applies |
|---|---|
| Loan Amount | ₹10,000 and above |
| Tenure | 3 months and above |
| Interest Rate | 15–36% p.a. (fixed, daily reducing balance) |
| Processing Fee | 1–10% of loan amount |
| EMI Bounce Charge | ₹500 levied on the first bounce in a month |
| Late Payment Charge | Up to ₹750 three days post due |
| Penal Charges | Levied as a charge, not as interest, on the overdue principal, graded by length of delay; terms set out in the loan agreement |
| Foreclosure / Pre-payment | Up to 4% of principal outstanding; no charge during the 1-day cooling-off period after disbursement |
| APR | Disclosed via the Key Fact Statement before sanction; reflects the borrower's actual rate, fees and tenure |
GST and other statutory levies apply separately. If a borrower opts for insurance, its cost is charged separately too. Every charge appears in the loan agreement, sanction letter and Key Fact Statement. Any revision applies only to loans sanctioned after that point, and we notify affected borrowers in advance. We may reduce or waive any of these charges in individual cases, at our discretion.
We share the applicable rate, fees and charges upfront, before the loan agreement is signed, in a simple language which is easy for the borrower to understand. This information sits in the Key Fact Statement, the sanction letter and the loan agreement.
Interest starts accruing from the date we disburse funds, not from the date of sanction or the loan agreement.
If we revise our rates or charges, the change applies only to loans sanctioned after that point, or is communicated to existing borrowers in advance where it affects them, in line with RBI Directions. Borrowers with questions about how their own rate was arrived at can raise this through our regular customer service and grievance channels.
This Policy is approved by our Board of Directors, who oversee our pricing framework and how it plays out for individual borrowers. We review this Policy at least once a year, and sooner if RBI guidance changes or market conditions shift materially enough to warrant it.
