For loans activated during the latter half of the month – for example, between 16th May and 31st May, the EMI due date will fall on the 5th July. 

 

Final Steps for Loan Disbursal

Final Steps for Loan Disbursal

Once you have applied for your loan successfully, with all necessary paperwork in order, your Loan Partner will release a Mandate that has to be filled as a registration procedure for Auto Debit. For Fibe the mandate process is called Smart Re-pay.

Mandates are standing instructions that you, as an account holder, give to a bank authorising them to debit money from your account and crediting it to another institution on a periodic basis.

Auto Debit

This Payment option automatically makes recurring payments on your behalf. Our platform supports several mandates to simplify this payment process. We have listed below the various Mandates that may be applicable for you. The Mandates applicable for you depend solely on your Loan Partners.

  • ENACH

E-mandates are payment solutions built to simplify the process of recurring payments for financial institutions and companies that accept EMIs. E-mandates are built on the already existing payment model NACH. NACH stands for National Automated Clearing House.

To complete the E-sign Mandate process you can use the following:

  1. API Mandate (Applicable for Fibe, Eduvanz)

API stands for Application Programming Interface. Using this process you can complete your E-sign Mandate, via either Net Banking or your Debit Card. 

  1. Aadhar-based OTP (Applicable for Fibe)

Using this option you can authenticate your mandates, using an Aadhar based OTP. You would require your Aadhar Card and Bank account to be linked to your Phone number.

Using API Mandates or Aadhar based OTP, you give your respective Bank authority to Auto Debit your account every month for recurring payments.

 

Documentation required for E-mandates
– E-mandate signed form. This will be given to you by the loan partners directly.
– Pan Card 
– Netbanking or Debit Card
– Aadhar Card which should be linked to your Phone Number
  • PNACH (Applicable for Fibe, Eduvanz)

PNACH stands for Physical National Automated Clearing House. In cases where candidates are unable to complete the E-sign Mandate process they will be offered a physical form to complete the Auto Debit process.
