The rate of interest starts from 14% onwards.
Mr. George M Alexander, Executive Director, Muthoot Finance Ltd said, “The disbursement of personal loan has witnessed consistent growth in India for the last 15 years. Also, the advent of credit bureaus has made personal loans more accessible to salaried class as financial institutions are willing to lend more based on individuals past credit behavior.”
He further added, “We will be able to leverage our existing customer base through our branches and our direct sales team thereby reaching to more and more customers. At a time when most of the lenders focus on financing individuals employed with large and established corporates, state and central government employees etc, Muthoot Finance will focus equally on salaried individuals employed with SMEs as well as with bigger corporates.
