Is P2P lending regulated in India?toggleIcon

Yes, P2P lending is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Since P2P platforms engage in lending and borrowing, the RBI mandates that they be registered as P2P non-banking financial companies (NBFCs).

1 Finance P2P lending helps you to diversify your debt portfolio with high-return, low-risk instruments.

What happens to a lender's money if a borrower defaults on a P2P loan?toggleIcon

If a borrower defaults, P2P lending platforms take steps to recover the loan, such as sending reminders, charging late fees, and reporting to credit bureaus. In severe cases, legal action may be taken; however, the lender ultimately incurs the financial loss.

At 1 Finance P2P, we safeguard your money by diversifying your funds across multiple borrowers. Our policy limits lending to 5% of your total investment per individual, minimising risk.
