Launching a recurring auto-debit feature
Many of the loan customers for banks and NBFCs end up defaulting on their EMIs due to the auto-debit facility not being set up correctly, or failure. Such inadvertent missed repayments may hamper the credit profiles of genuine customers. On the other side of the spectrum, failed payments for lenders can quickly turn into lost / delayed revenue recognition, increasing delinquencies and NPLs. Tracking and profiling such cases to get the payments completed is cumbersome.
The pandemic accelerated the push for cashless transactions and digital banking services. Digitization in debt collections is the need of the hour for banks, NBFCs, digital lenders and debt collection agencies. eMandates are useful to enable both recurring and one-time payments, helpful in streamlining transactions, driving efficiencies and improving customer experiences. eMandates are critical components of making digital loan repayments more robust and error-free.
What are eMandates?
e-Mandate is a digital payment service introduced by the RBI and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). It serves as an underlying infrastructure for businesses in India to collect recurring payments without any human intervention. These are standard instructions that customers provide to their issuing bank and other institutions allowing them to automatically debit the mentioned amount from their bank account.
