Processing Fee & Interest
What does processing fee mean?
Processing fee is the fee charged for verification of your basic information and documents and getting the same approved by our credit team. The company incurs a cost for this entire process which is why a small processing fee is charged to customers.
We incur a cost every time your profile is re-evaluated for a new loan or credit limit increase. This may include re-checking your Credit score, reviewing your profile and other operational efforts, hence a part of it is being charged to continue providing you the maximum benefit of the services.
Is the processing fee same for all types of products?
We charge a processing fee of up to 6% of the loan amount depending upon the tenure of the loan (plus applicable taxes). The processing fee differs based on the product category, customer credit profile, loan amount, and the tenure of the loan selected by you. The processing fee applicable for your loan will be visible to you at the time of application itself.
There are many loan companies and everyone has a different processing fee. What is the reason for this difference?
Every company has a different cost attached to servicing customers based on the underwriting process they follow and the economies of scale available to them. As a result, every company has a different processing fee.
What is the rate of interest charged?
We offer loans to our customers at a fixed interest rate. The rate of interest applicable to the customer depends on several factors, including their credit profile, repayment history, loan tenure, loan amount, etc. The products offered by us and the interest rates charged on different products are as follows:
- Loans with a tenure of 6 months or more – Up to 36%
- Loans with a tenure of less than 6 months – Up to 45%
Monthly Instalments/EMI’s
What is an EMI?
EMI refers to Equated Monthly Instalment. It simply refers to a fixed amount paid by you (borrower) to lender at a specific date every month. EMI enables you to pay a portion of your total outstanding loan principal and interest every month so that by end of the loan tenure your loan is fully repaid.
How can I make my EMI payments?
We provide our customers with various options to pay their EMI’s like:
-
Inside Application:
- UPI Apps : Payment via various UPI apps like Phonepe, Gpay, Paytm, Cred, Amazonpay etc
- Debit Card : Payment via Debit Cards issued by your bank
- NetBanking : Payment via Netbanking platform or application issued by your bank
-
Outside Application
- E-NACH – We set up an Auto Debit Instruction from your Savings Account so that the instalments are automatically deducted every month. This is only done for long term loans and wherever available.
- UPI-Autopay – We set up an Auto Debit Instruction from your Account linked to UPI so that the instalments are automatically deducted every month. This is only done for long term loans and wherever available.
- UPI Collect – A UPI collect request is shared on your registered UPI handle which needs to be accepted for the payment.
- NEFT/IMPS via Virtual Bank Details – Transfer the EMI amount using NEFT/IMPS to your loan account’s unique & dedicated Virtual Account Number and the payment will get automatically updated in our account.
- UPI via Virtual VPA ID – Transfer the EMI amount using UPI to your loan account’s unique & dedicated Virtual VPA ID and the payment will get automatically updated in our account.
- BBPS (Bharat Bill Payment System) – Loan repayment options are available under Bill Payment section in third party payment apps like GPay/Paytm/PhonePe etc, and search for “KISSHT or RING” (based on the App from where you have availed the loan) and enter your registered mobile number and DOB to proceed with EMI payment.
- Web Payment: Open https://kissht.com/ or https://paywithring.com/ (based on the App from where you have availed the loan) and click on “Pay Now” button available on the Home Page of the website, enter your registered mobile number to proceed with EMI payment.
Can Partial Payments be made?
We always suggest that you pay your full EMI amount on or before the due date and do not delay the payment. However, if you wish to make partial payments, we kindly request that you select the “Other Amount” option on the payment page. To do so, just click on “Other Amount” >> enter the amount you want to pay >> then click on the Pay button.
Please note that using the “Other Amount” option is not a special repayment offer, and your repayment schedule does not change by using it. We are just helping you make partial payments. Therefore, your credit report will always show the loan as a late payment if the EMI is not fully paid by the due date, and your repayment behaviour will be recorded accordingly. Kindly note that a late payment record has an adverse effect on your credit score.
What will be my EMI amount?
The EMI amount is calculated by the system and displayed instantly at the time of loan application itself. The EMI amount depends on the loan amount, interest rate as well as the repayment tenure availed by you. To know more about your EMI amount, kindly click on the “LOANS” section in the Kissht App/Ring App and select your loan account to view the details.
How will I be intimated about upcoming EMI payments?
You will be receiving automated email & SMS before your EMI date on your registered email id & mobile number. Being said that, due to technical or network issues, if any EMI reminder is not delivered to you, then you need to ensure that you still repay your EMI on time, as the EMI schedule and details are already shared with you at the time of loan approval by way or Sanction Letter & Agreement. Non-receipt of EMI reminders cannot be cited as a reason for late payment/non-payment of EMI’s.
Will late payment of my monthly instalments/EMI invite any penalty or charges?
Well, a late repayment always invites a late penalty charge along with it. The charge however, will depend on your outstanding amount and also the number of days by which the payment is delayed.
What happens if I don’t pay my monthly instalment/EMI?
Like any other legal agreements, all loans are legally binding and governed under the RBI regulations wherein not paying your monthly instalment/EMI is a criminal offence in the Indian Court of Law. In addition to this, your Credit score/CIBIL score will also take a hit due to non-payment of dues, and can result in you not being eligible for any new loans in future from any banks/financial institutions.
What happens if I am registered for auto-debit and my savings account doesn’t have the minimum balance at the time of due date?
The required amount of balance must always be maintained at the time of due date for clearing the monthly auto-debit payment, if you have registered for auto-debit. Insufficient balance would lead to payment bounce which is a criminal offence in the Indian court of law. It shall also attract a ECS bounce penalty on your loan account and affect your credit score adversely. If in case you cannot deposit the funds in your account or do not want your account to be auto-debited, we request you to kindly repay your EMI online using the Kissht App/Ring App, at least 3 working days before your due date. Advance payment made online, 3 working days before due date, will enable our team to stop the auto-debit for that particular month.
Can I extend the tenure of my loan after the loan is approved?
You cannot extend the tenure after a loan has been approved.
What happens if I skip one monthly instalment/EMI? Can I pay it all at once in the next month?
We strongly advise against skipping the payment of your monthly instalment/EMI. Defaulting on an instalment will dip your credit score and you will be charged with a late penalty charge for defaulting on your dues.
Once I pay all my monthly instalments/EMI, how do I get a confirmation on loan closure?
Once you have paid all your EMIs and outstanding dues, we will send you a No Objection Certificate (NOC). The NOC will be sent to your registered email id after 72 hours (3 days) of closing your loan account.
My EMI payment failed but it got debited from my account. What shall I do now?
No worries! In case of failed payments due to technical failures at your bank’s end, such amounts are automatically refunded by the bank to your account mostly immediately or within 3-7 working days.
In case your bank doesn’t automatically refund the failed transaction amount to you, then you need to initiate a chargeback request with your bank so that bank can check the status of payment and reverse it back to your account.
I have made payment twice for a single transaction. What do I do?
No worries! If one of the double payment transactions made by you is a failed transaction, then your bank will automatically refund the same to you within 7-10 working days.
If both the payment transactions are successful, then the extra payment gets automatically credited to your next upcoming EMI.
If in case there is no upcoming EMI, then the extra amount will be eligible for refund. Auto refund will be done in such cases within 24-48 hours. If you don’t get refund with 24-48 hours,request you to kindly write to us at info@sicrevacapital.com to inform us about the double payment made by you and place a request for a refund of extra payment amount.

Credit Score
Do you access my Credit Score?
Yes, we are an RBI-regulated NBFC’ and we do access your Credit Score as part of the credit profile verification and underwriting process. Your credit score determines your eligibility for a loan and also it determines the loan amount, interest rate and loan tenure that will be available for you.
What are the different Credit Bureaus that you report my loan data to?
In India, there are 4 well known Credit Information Companies that track the Credit Score of an individual. These are Transunion CIBIL, Experian, Equifax and CRIF Highmark. These are entities regulated by law and have all the loan and repayment information of an individual, be it a credit card use, a bank loan, or a telecom postpaid connection. We submit your loan related update to all of these 4 credit bureaus as part of our standard operating procedure.
By what name will my loan appear in my Credit Report?
The loans you have availed can be reported to the Credit Bureaus only by the respective NBFC that has financed your loan; hence, the name of the respective NBFC will reflect on your credit report. If you have availed a loan that is 100% financed by us, the loan will appear in your credit report under the name “Si Creva Capital Services Private Limited.” If you have availed a loan that is financed jointly by ‘Si Creva Capital Services Pvt. Ltd.’ and one of its lending partners, your loan amount will be reported in your credit report by both lenders according to the respective share of the loan amount each lending partner provided.

How can I possibly enhance my Loan/Credit Limit?
To begin with, every customer has a set maximum loan amount up to which he/she can avail loans. There is a good chance of this amount increasing, when you availing more loans and make timely repayments. However, this also depends on other factors like your monthly income, credit score, repayment history with other lenders and a host of other information that we get from you when you create your profile. While making timely repayments increases the probability of enhancing your loan/credit limit amount, it does not guarantee the same.
How is my Credit Score connected to the loan that I avail?
Once you apply for a loan and repay it back on time, your credit report reflects the same. This helps you avail a bigger loan at a later stage from us (subject to eligibility) or from other banks or other financial institutions and you may also get it at a lower interest rate. However, if you don’t repay the loan on time or default on the same, then your credit score may get negatively impacted. And, it becomes nearly impossible to avail a loan from any other bank due to your poor repayment history. Even if a loan is approved, the interest rate that will be charged will be considerably higher.
What is the typical processing time for updating a customer’s loan payment/closure status with the credit bureau?
We submit data including but not limited to loan disbursement, repayments received from the customer, information with regard to delay, if any in repayment and other loan performance related information to all credit bureaus on monthly basis or such periodic frequency agreed with the Credit Bureaus or as prescribed by RBI from time to time. You can generally expect your credit score to be updated at least once a month, but it can be more frequently if you have multiple financial products. Each time any one of your credit institutions sends information to any credit bureaus your score will refresh.
The loan account related details shown in my Credit Report with respect to the loan availed are incorrect/not updated even after 45-60 days of repaying my loan. What do I do to correct this?
We always try their best to ensure that all your loan details are timely and accurately reported to Credit Bureaus. If in case you find any errors/incomplete information, we shall definitely help rectify it for you once the same is reported by you to our customer service desk. To report such errors, if any, kindly share the latest PDF copy of your credit report with us at info@sicrevacapital.com and mention your issue in detail.
