"With an estimated $4 trillion market in India, weddings are the fourth-largest industry. This year, around 35 lakh couples will tie the knot. MNPL gives users the freedom to have cash on hand while simultaneously promoting savings, "in an interview with Business Today, SanKash co-founder Abhilasha Negi Dahiya remarked.
Furthermore, MNPL is a more appealing form of financing than bank loans due to the zero interest rates for the first six months of the loan. But, if you choose a one-year term, you will be charged 1 percent per month.
"After a week of the agreement, we received an amazing reaction, including 100+ requests from the NCR for hotel services including cuisine, venue, decorating, and trousseau, totaling Rs 8 crore. Up to Rs 25 lakhs can be borrowed by a consumer for a maximum of 12 months "said Dahiya.
When asked how the company determines if borrowers are eligible, Dahiya explained that SanKash considers the intention and capacity of the consumer to repay where customers are assessed by third-party data like ID and address evidence, bank records, paycheck slips, and ITR (income tax return).
