Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a withdrawal before the lock-in period is over?
Barring extraordinary circumstances, early withdrawals are not permitted. Early withdrawals are also subject to 2% exit fee + GST.
Important Notice: All withdrawal requests are subject to the best effort basis only.
How long does a withdrawal process take and until which date will I earn interest?
The withdrawal process takes 3-7 working days except in case of extenuating circumstances.
Your interest earnings will be the earnings that you have already received until the date of the withdrawal request.
If you expect interest credits due to your investment account some days after the lock-in period expiry, then we recommend that you trigger the withdrawal request after the interest crediting. The upcoming interest payouts are indicated for your reference on your dashboard.
What will happen to the part of my investment which is running in default?
IndiaP2P enables diversification of your investment across multiple loan fractions to limit the extent of exposure to defaults. However, defaults still occur and any investment amounts running in defaults cannot be immediately recovered and withdrawn.
IndiaP2P takes all measures including legal action where necessary to recover defaulting principal amounts and remit them back to investors.
All investments in loans made on IndiaP2P are secured by a loan agreement ensuring that the borrower’s obligation to repay legally stands.
In addition, all of the borrower’s repayment information is reported to all credit bureaus ensuring that the defaulting borrower’s credit profile is suitably affected and is visible to all other lending institutions.
It may be noted that IndiaP2P does not guarantee returns on the investment in loans made on its platform.
What is the eligible amount v. ineligible amount?
The eligible amount is the quantum of your investment(s) that has:
(a) Completed lock-in period.
(b) Is not running into default i.e. delayed repayments or NPAs (repayment delay beyond 90 days).
Do I need to renew my investment after the lock-in period expires?
No. Your investment(s) will continue to stay invested under your chosen plans. You can withdraw your investment post-expiry of the lock-in without any premature withdrawal charges.
What happens after the lock-in period if I do not withdraw my investment?
Your investment(s) will continue to stay invested under your chosen plans. You can withdraw your investment post-expiry of the lock-in without any premature withdrawal charges.
How is the lock-in period calculated in case I have made multiple investments?
The lock-in is applicable to each investment you make. A top-up to an existing investing plan, constitutes a fresh investment.
What is the lock-in period?
The lock-in period of 12 months i.e. 365 days is calculated from the day your investment is received in your IndiaP2P escrow accounts. Sometimes there is a few days of gap in between the date your transferred funds v. when they are credited to your escrow account in case of payment gateway transfer, bank holidays etc.

What is the Rule of 72?
The rule of 72 is a thumb rule to quickly estimate how many years it will take for your money to double for a given rate of return. For example: If your Fixed Deposits are paying a return of 4.5%. It will take 72/4.5 = 16 years for your money to double. With IndiaP2P, you can earn up to 16%. Thereby doubling you money in 72/16 = 4.5 years.
