Digital Loans for Fast-Growing MSMEs
Indifi offers digital working capital. It targets online small businesses. Amazon sellers use it for stock. Cloud kitchens use it for daily ops. Travel agents use it for bookings.
These are unsecured business loans. They do not require hard collateral. The lender relies on your digital sales data. When sales dip, problems start.
Missing an EMI is a civil dispute. It falls under the Indian Contract Act. It is not a crime. Legal settlements are available.
When Revenue Contracts Sharply
Online sales can be volatile. Platform algorithms change. Orders dry up fast. Your daily cash flow takes a hit.
Then, your Indifi EMI bounces. The bank charges a return fee. Indifi adds late payment fines. The debt grows larger every month.
| Default Stage | Days Past Due | Lender Action | Legal Exposure | Settlement Offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMA-0 Stage | 1 – 30 Days | Automated calls and SMS alerts. | Minor score drop. No legal risk. | No discount yet. |
| SMA-1 Stage | 31 – 60 Days | Recovery agents start calling daily. | CIBIL drops further. Notices arrive. | Low. Only penal fee waiver. |
| SMA-2 Stage | 61 – 90 Days | Aggressive threats and fake notices. | Section 25 demand notices sent. | Moderate discount starts. |
| NPA Stage | 91 – 180 Days | Case moves to the legal desk. | Arbitration and Lok Adalat notices. | High. 40% to 50% waiver possible. |
| Write-Off Stage | 181+ Days | Account written off the books. | Court case filings. | Maximum. Up to 60% waiver possible. |
Once an account becomes an NPA, lenders prefer cash. A fast lump-sum payment ends the case. You earn a solid debt discount.

Managing Indifi Legal Action

Often, cases go to the National Lok Adalat. It is a legal fast-track court. Settlements here hold civil court power. You can easily secure a 50% discount.
| Resolution Path | Legal Framework | Typical Waiver | Timeline | Final Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Bank OTS | RBI Settlement Rules | 45% – 60% | 15 to 30 Days | Stamped ₹0 NDC. |
| Lok Adalat | Legal Services Act | 50% – 65% | Single Day | Civil Court Decree. |
