Eliminating Delinquency: The Future of Collections in Indian Lending

<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2025/11/2-5.webp" alt="Applications with AI" title="" id="2ovshdien" width="100%" height="255">Most developers build apps to solve problems. But what if your app could anticipate them?&nbsp; That’s the promise of AI-first development. While the idea may seem daunting, getting started can be as straightforward as experimenting with proof of concept, one that challenges conventional software-building approaches.&nbsp; Let’s explore how this transformative approach works.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="wju5vq4px" style="text-align: justify">A Simple Proof of Concept Changes Everything&nbsp;</h2>A recent development effort has sparked a profound shift in perspective on modern application development. The outcome is a simple banking application serving as proof of Concept (POC) not a production-ready system, but one that operates in a fundamentally different way from traditional applications.&nbsp;Instead of navigating through complex menus just to check transactions, users can simply ask for what they need. Instead of filling out multiple fields to transfer money, they just express their intent naturally. This app goes beyond merely responding; it autonomously performs tasks, navigates interfaces, updates settings, and formats data exactly as requested.&nbsp;This level of responsiveness is powered by a compact, 1-billion parameter Large Language Model (LLM) running entirely on the device. No cloud dependency. No latency. Just real-time intelligence embedded within a minimal Flutter app.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="5i57cc3a7" style="text-align: justify">The Convergence Driving AI Adoption&nbsp;</h2>Multiple industry forces are reshaping mobile experiences. Breakthroughs in device hardware, rising demand for hyper-personalization, and platform-level AI integration are converging to accelerate the shift toward AI-first development.&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="w299ff379"><li>Hardware Reality: Mobile device power is exponentially increasing. Running small, efficient AI models locally is quickly becoming standard practice, not a luxury. The computational power that previously required cloud infrastructure now fits in a user’s pocket.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="8zqgr120j"><li>Business Reality: Premium AI inference subscriptions are increasingly common. Users have shown a willingness to pay for intelligent experiences, making AI capabilities an inevitable necessity for competitive applications.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="juqugkm4d"><li>Platform Reality: Major mobile operating systems (OS) are moving toward unified, OS-level AI assistants. Imagine asking the system assistant to "order food from Zomato" or "book a cab to the airport," and the action executes seamlessly by integrating with installed applications.&nbsp;</li></ul>However, this future relies on one crucial prerequisite: individual applications must expose their capabilities to the OS-level model through standardized interfaces. This POC demonstrates this principle, not as a complete product, but as a glimpse of the inevitable future.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="byj3uylbq" style="text-align: justify">The Paradigm Shift: From Features to Foundation&nbsp;</h2>The industry is at an inflection point. Years of mastering fundamental architectural patterns are reaching saturation:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="l4veukh66"><li>MVC, MVVM, clean architecture&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="6cf8h5krn"><li>State management patterns&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="xnmfn1l2f"><li>Responsive UI frameworks&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="7fep9zdwz"><li>API integration&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>These are well established, thoroughly documented, and widely understood domains with limited scope for innovation. The next revolutionary wave lies in AI-first development, the new and largely untapped frontier. This is not merely about ‘adding a chatbot’ or ‘AI features.’ It means designing an application from the outset to be intelligent, adaptive, and exposable to external AI systems.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="b2n0jlwuv" style="text-align: justify">Lessons from Minimal POC&nbsp;</h2>In the minimal banking application, AI is not a secondary feature, it is the primary interface:&nbsp;<table class="border-collapse border border-gray-300" style="min-width: 50px"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px"><col style="min-width: 25px"></colgroup><tbody><tr class="border border-gray-300"><td class="border border-gray-300 p-2" colspan="1" rowspan="1">Traditional Approach&nbsp;</td><td class="border border-gray-300 p-2" colspan="1" rowspan="1">AI-First Approach (POC)&nbsp;</td></tr><tr class="border border-gray-300"><td class="border border-gray-300 p-2" colspan="1" rowspan="1">User opens app $\to $ Navigates to Transactions $\to$ Filters by date $\to$ Scrolls through list&nbsp;</td><td class="border border-gray-300 p-2" colspan="1" rowspan="1">User: "Show last month’s grocery spending" $\to$App: Executes query, generates visualization, displays result&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table>The difference is clear: five manual steps are replaced by one natural language sentence. The real learning, however, is deeper:&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="211x94mig"><li>Tool Exposure: Most features were exposed as callable tools. The AI can check balances, transfer money, update settings, and navigate screens, basically everything a human can do through the UI, the AI can execute through intent. The pattern for clear capability exposure is established.&nbsp;</li></ol><ol class="list-node" id="1zzvsql9y" start="2"><li>Dynamic UI Generation: The interface is not static. A request for data as a ‘colorful timeline’ or a ‘compact list’ and the AI generates the appropriate layout on the fly. Same data, infinite presentations.&nbsp;</li></ol><ol class="list-node" id="0e74y2449" start="3"><li>Personalized Adaptation: The basic POC demonstrates the ability to adapt information presentation based on context. Scaled up, this means the application literally becomes tailored to individual preferences.&nbsp;</li></ol><h2 class="heading-node" id="67l8pflc8" style="text-align: justify">Technical Reality: On-Device Intelligence&nbsp;</h2>The most remarkable technical insight is the execution environment. The POC runs on a 1 billion parameter model (Llama 3.2) locally, and not in the cloud. This provides complete privacy and low latency, achieved within a simple Flutter POC developed over a single weekend.&nbsp;This capability exists today with&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="r0ugck41g"><li>$1$B models (demonstrated locally)&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="z0b6ql7sa"><li>$7$B models (already capable to run on high-end devices)&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="hn5hh92we"><li>Specialized models fine-tuned for specific domains&nbsp;</li></ul>The breakthrough is not in the specific tech stack, but in the possibilities that emerge when development transitions from treating AI as a feature to embracing it as the core foundation. A simple POC is sufficient to reveal this future.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="qwx1frmm5" style="text-align: justify">OS-Level Future and App Tooling&nbsp;</h2>A clear prediction based on this experiment is that within 3 to 5 years, OS vendors will establish standard protocols for application-AI integration.&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="1cjrpeufx"><li>Scenario: OS assistant: ‘Book a cab to the airport’&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="wu2n2lhz6"><li>Application Response: Installed cab apps expose their booking tools to the OS-level AI&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="ox941wb6u"><li>Result: The transaction executes seamlessly without the need to open the app&nbsp;</li></ul>For this orchestration to function, applications must expose their core capabilities as callable tools. The banking app POC demonstrates this by exposing transactions, transfers, settings, and navigation as functions the LLM can invoke. This is not about replacing applications but about creating a unified experience where user intent drives OS-orchestrated execution across multiple applications. Applications that fail to expose intelligent interfaces will feel as dated as non-touch interfaces felt a decade ago.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="9s63kxutu" style="text-align: justify">Why is AI-First No Longer Optional?&nbsp;</h2>Every evolved technology platform eventually reaches saturation. Web, mobile, and backend architecture have largely plateaued in foundational innovation. Implementing traditional patterns is now easy, well-documented, and battle tested.&nbsp;AI-centric development represents the next untapped frontier, one that’s rich with opportunity rather than hype. Investing effort in this direction is not about following trends but about strategically positioning development teams at the forefront of the next major platform transformation. Just like how ‘mobile-first’ defined a generation of digital innovation in 2010, ‘AI-first' will be the defining standard of 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;The goal is a user experience revolution:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="6c7e6e60z"><li>Respecting Time: One natural request replaces multiple taps&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="z5sfb5t2h"><li>Reducing Cognitive Load: Users state what they want, not how to achieve it&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="rh07sdxp4"><li>Enabling Accessibility: Voice and text interfaces support any language or ability level&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="qs0fgsue7"><li>Personalizing Experience: Interfaces dynamically adapt to individual preferences&nbsp;</li></ul>It's about creating software that feels less like a tool and more like a helpful, intuitive colleague. Even a minimal POC confirms this immediate difference.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="1lld3zr8l" style="text-align: justify">Behind the Scenes: The Core Mechanism&nbsp;</h2>The simple POC operates through three core concepts:&nbsp;<ol class="list-node" id="adya4yfg1"><li>Natural Language Understanding: The AI comprehends the user's intent&nbsp;</li></ol><ol class="list-node" id="djtkjwjgq" start="2"><li>Tool Integration: The AI can perform actions (it doesn't just talk about them)&nbsp;</li></ol><ol class="list-node" id="o01tmng0h" start="3"><li>Dynamic UI Generation: Interfaces are created based on context and user preferences&nbsp;</li></ol>All this is achieved with a small Llama 3.2 1B model running locally. If such a tiny model can demonstrate this potential in a weekend POC, the possibilities with larger, production-grade models are genuinely transformative.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="zulrpoi4u" style="text-align: justify">Start Now: Minimal Requirements&nbsp;</h2>Exploring this frontier does not require massive datasets or cutting-edge hardware. It requires:&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="v8tjgebrg"><li>A clear mental model of AI-first architecture&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="g5fpux9r2"><li>Familiarity with tool-calling frameworks (e.g., those like MCP)&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="m1jem0qmq"><li>A willingness to experiment with local LLMs&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="gvoehloua"><li>A focus on user intent over predefined UI navigation&nbsp;</li></ul>The most important step is simply to start.&nbsp;&nbsp;Build a POC.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because the barrier to entry has never been lower: local models are free, frameworks are maturing, and the development community is collaborative.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="vkrmz46ca" style="text-align: justify">Final Thoughts&nbsp;</h2>Every transformative platform shifts initially seemed like ‘overkill’&nbsp;<ul class="list-node" id="4ogqxboph"><li>Why do we need apps? Mobile web works fine’&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="dpjosdqhz"><li>Why touch screens? Keyboards work&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="wonec1ob4"><li>Why voice assistants? We have to search&nbsp;</li></ul>AI-first development is rapidly becoming the foundation on which the next generation of financial applications will be built. By adopting this approach early, development teams not only enhance user experiences but also drive competitive advantages and sustainable innovation.&nbsp;&nbsp;The future belongs to those who lead the AI transformation rather than follow it. Taking this proactive stance will define the banking landscape for years to come.&nbsp;This thought leader article was authored by <a class="link" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/srinivasan0000/?external_page=LPC.Immersive&amp;external_control=ViewProfileLink&amp;external_app_instance=a1c4a059-11ec-453f-87a1-0aa470978cd0&amp;external_page_instance=0f3680e8-5391-4d77-bef8-7df8cb3dc074&amp;experiment=displayLinkedInDataPrebind" target="">Srinivasan R</a>, Senior Development Engineer, M2P.&nbsp;Follow us on <a class="link Hyperlink SCXW196284913 BCX8" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/m2pfintech/mycompany/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn</a> and <a class="link Hyperlink SCXW196284913 BCX8" href="https://twitter.com/m2pfintech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> for insightful fintech bytes curated for curious minds like you.

At M2P, we recognize that cardholders are increasingly navigating multiple credit cards, whether spanning various networks or tailored to different needs.&nbsp;That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Multi-Card, Single Account feature in the M2P Credit Card Management System.&nbsp;With this new addition, cardholders can seamlessly manage multiple credit cards under a single unified account. This not only streamlines the user experience but also drives significant operational efficiencies for banks and fintechs striving to stay ahead in the digital credit space.<h2 class="heading-node" id="h4satubpr" style="text-align: left">The Power of Unification: One Wallet. Multiple Cards.</h2>Traditionally, managing multiple credit cards meant juggling separate billing cycles, varied statements, different credit limits, and scattered transaction histories. M2P’s Multi-Card, Single Account capability simplifies this complexity.&nbsp;Here’s how it works.Banks can now empower users to link multiple credit cards across different networks into a single wallet. This unified, shared wallet reflects the total credit limit, streamlines all transactions, and generates one consolidated statement. There is now one account to track, one repayment to make, and complete visibility into financial activity, putting users firmly in control.To better comprehend, let’s consider a travel-fintech company offering two credit cards: one powered by Visa, the other by RuPay, each with its own set of benefits. With a unified wallet experience, cardholders can seamlessly manage both cards in one place. Every transaction across these cards is included in a single monthly statement, enabling one consolidated payment. Yet, users retain granular control over each card’s security settings, spending limits, and preferences.For financial institutions, this feature unlocks deeper customer engagement, smarter risk distribution, and more efficient backend operations, all while preserving the personalization users expect.<h2 class="heading-node" id="jdu7fukvk" style="text-align: left">Key Benefits for Financial Institutions</h2>1. Streamlined Card Management&nbsp;Enable customers to manage multiple cards across different networks from a single interface.2. Unified Wallet with Shared Credit Limit&nbsp;Every card draws from the same wallet and overall credit line, giving users greater spending flexibility while reducing issuers’ credit risk exposure.3. Consolidated Statements and Single Repayment&nbsp;No more tracking multiple billing cycles or payment dates. With unified statements and a single repayment mechanism, users enjoy greater simplicity, and issuers benefit from frictionless collections.4. Customizable at the Card Level&nbsp;Even with a unified backend, users can set preferences independently on each card. Configure usage channels (POS, online, ATM, UPI), individual spending limits, and international access at the individual card level, ensuring both control and convenience.5. 360° Spend Analytics&nbsp;Deliver a holistic view of user spending with combined and individual card insights. Help customers track spending patterns, identify savings opportunities, and plan smarter.6. Configurable Notifications &amp; Alerts&nbsp;From transaction updates to spend threshold alerts, allow users to personalize notifications per card, ensuring real-time awareness without notification fatigue.7. Robust API Integration&nbsp;Seamlessly integrate the Multi-Card, Single Account functionality with third-party financial applications, loyalty platforms, or budgeting tools via M2P’s developer-friendly API ecosystem.<h2 class="heading-node" id="fskcm6mls" style="text-align: left">Strategic Advantages for Issuers</h2><ul class="list-node" id="ofq7hojma"><li>Product Differentiation: Offer a first-of-its-kind user experience that fosters loyalty and sets your brand apart in a competitive market.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="aps4rmtth"><li>Credit Optimization: Distribute risk intelligently while streamlining credit assessment through a unified underwriting process for a single account.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="jmm6sllt1"><li>Improved Customer Retention: Simplify card management so users are more likely to keep multiple cards active rather than consolidating with competitors.&nbsp;</li></ul><ul class="list-node" id="m2jxpaitc"><li>Operational Efficiency: Reduce overhead costs related to statement processing, customer support, and payment follow-ups, optimizing internal resources.</li></ul>If you’re a bank or fintech looking to enable differentiated credit experiences, the Multi-Card, Single Account feature offers a unique opportunity to lead the market.&nbsp;Let’s build the future of cards—together.&nbsp;Ready to Leverage M2P’s Multi-Card, Single Account?&nbsp;Contact us <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/contact-us/?activeKey=1&amp;utm_source=Website&amp;utm_medium=Website&amp;utm_campaign=Payments_Blogs" target="_blank">today</a>!<a class="link fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" href="https://m2pfintech.com/newsletter/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Subscribe</a>&nbsp;to our newsletter and get the latest fintech news, views, and insights directly to your inbox.Follow us on&nbsp;<a class="link fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/m2pfintech/mycompany/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinkedIn</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a class="link fui-Link ___1idfs5o f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1hu3pq6 f11qmguv f19f4twv f1tyq0we f1g0x7ka fhxju0i f1qch9an f1cnd47f fqv5qza f1vmzxwi f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh ftqa4ok f2hkw1w fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1h8hb77 f1x7u7e9 f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" href="https://twitter.com/m2pfintech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a>&nbsp;for insightful fintech bytes curated for curious minds like you.

<img src="https://m2p-website-file.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/marketing-cms/m2p-blog/2025/09/upi-blog-04-2.webp" alt="PPI Discoverability on UPI: The Next Frontier in Digital Payments" title="" id="ex54l76jg" width="100%" height="60">India’s digital payment landscape saw a seismic shift, with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) processing a staggering over <a class="link Hyperlink SCXW221809982 BCX8" href="https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2079544" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">₹23.49 lakh crores</a> across 16.58 billion transactions, reflecting an impressive 45% year-on-year growth. This remarkable feat has reinforced <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/blog/cardless-cash-withdrawals-upi-and-the-future-of-seamless-banking/" target="_blank">UPI</a>’s position as the cornerstone for India’s transition into a cashless economy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Building on this momentum, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has unveiled PPI Discoverability on UPI, an initiative aimed at democratizing digital payments. This feature introduces unprecedented levels of flexibility and convenience, pushing the boundaries of financial inclusion across the nation.&nbsp;To understand the transformative impact of UPI Discoverability on businesses and users alike, let’s understand what it is.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="50fdle25r" style="text-align: left">What is UPI Discoverability?  &nbsp;</h2>UPI Discoverability refers to the integration of Prepaid Instruments (PPI) with Third-Party Application Providers (TPAPs). In simple words, PPI users can now link their wallets/cards to any UPI apps and make payments.&nbsp;PPI users no longer need to juggle between apps and accounts; rather, they can enjoy a unified and seamless payment experience that bridges the gap between PPI wallets and UPI. Moreover, it safeguards users from challenges associated with PPI providers such accessible funds in their wallets, even in cases of service disruptions.  This interoperability empowers customers to maintain their funds in wallets for seamless payments, reducing the need for frequent debits from their bank savings accounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="cjcid7jqw" style="text-align: left">Benefits of PPI wallets with TPAPs</h2>While the integration of PPI with TPAPs is set to augment digital payment adoption, particularly for small-value transactions, here are some benefits.&nbsp;1. Expanding user choice - Enables users to access a vast number of payment options by linking their PPI wallets to widely used UPI-enabled applications such as PhonePe and Google Pay. This connectivity ensures seamless transactions across multiple platforms, enhancing user experience and empowering consumers to choose payment modes aligned with their preferences.&nbsp;2. Reducing transaction friction - With PPI wallets operating directly within third-party applications, the payment process becomes significantly more streamlined. Users no longer need to toggle between apps to complete transactions, as they can finalize payments through their preferred UPI platform. This reduction in procedural steps accelerates transaction time and enhances the overall user experience, making digital payments more accessible and efficient.&nbsp;3. Strengthening ecosystem interoperability - Interoperability between PPI wallets and TPAPs strengthens the digital payment ecosystem by allowing users to transact over 50 million UPI-accepting merchants without being confined to specific wallet providers. This seamless integration not only simplifies merchant acceptance but also promotes healthy competition among service providers.&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Boosting adoption and user engagement - The convenience and familiarity of using PPI wallets via popular applications drives increased engagement, especially for small-value transactions. This shift is instrumental in fostering a more cashless economy and expanding the reach of digital financial solutions.&nbsp;5. Improves financial management - Several TPAPs offer features like real-time transaction tracking, spending analytics, and budgeting tools, enabling users to gain deeper insights into their financial habits. By leveraging these functionalities, consumers can make more informed decisions about their expenditures and savings, ultimately fostering improved financial health and well-being.&nbsp;However, unlocking the full potential of PPI wallets on UPI requires meeting specific regulatory and technical prerequisites.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="thpqsdnxk" style="text-align: left">Leading the Charge in PPI Wallet on UPI Integration &nbsp;</h2>At the forefront of this groundbreaking UPI initiative is M2P Fintech, an NPCI-affiliated partner enabling wallet integration with TPAPs on UPI.

As demand rises, lenders require modern, scalable platforms to manage LAP efficiently across origination, servicing, risk management, and compliance.&nbsp;This blog explores the key challenges in the LAP journey, how <a class="link" href="https://m2pfintech.com/loan-management-system/loan-against-property/" target="_blank">M2P’s platform</a> addresses them with precision, and the transformational benefits it delivers.&nbsp;Let’s first look into the challenges in secured lending.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="q98hfc9pp" style="text-align: left">Structural Inefficiencies Hindering LAP Growth&nbsp;</h2><h3 class="heading-node" id="p48pkva9d" style="text-align: left">1. Collateral Management&nbsp;</h3>Handling real estate collateral demands meticulous verification of ownership, titles, encumbrances, and regulatory compliance. Manual processes increase the chances of oversight, operational delays, and legal exposure.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="ino416m2o" style="text-align: left">2. Risk Redressal in Origination&nbsp;</h3>Despite being secured, LAP requires a structured approach to mitigate risk at the origination stage. Challenges include inconsistent allocation of legal cases, delays in title scrutiny, and limited visibility into document sanction workflows—all of which can extend approval timelines and elevate risk exposure.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="r4omwdhhx" style="text-align: left">3. Loan-to-Value (LTV) Calculation&nbsp;</h3>Accurate LTV calculation is essential to ensure that the loan amount aligns with collateral value. Inaccurate property valuation or regional price inconsistencies may lead to either overexposure or conservative lending, both impacting business goals.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="5fpo0enn1" style="text-align: left">4. Asset Verification&nbsp;</h3>Validating property ownership, occupancy status, and existing liabilities is time-intensive and susceptible to fraud. Manual verifications and fragmented documentation hinder efficient loan processing.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="p9u5l40r5" style="text-align: left">5. Repayment Tracking and NPA Management&nbsp;</h3>Timely tracking of EMIs, arrears, and pre-default signals is crucial to maintaining portfolio health. Legacy systems often lack real-time repayment visibility, making it harder to flag delinquencies early or take corrective actions.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="dfc0ipczd" style="text-align: left">6. Litigation and Auction Handling&nbsp;</h3>Once an account turns NPA, lenders face operational and legal challenges in initiating recovery. Managing litigation across regions, provisioning, and executing property auctions becomes complex without integrated, real-time systems.&nbsp;As the market evolves, secured lending products like Loans Against Property (LAP), vehicle loans, and business loans backed by assets are set to play a bigger role in shaping India’s lending ecosystem.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="acp048by2" style="text-align: left">LAP’s Role in the Modern Loan Ecosystem&nbsp;</h2>Loan Against Property stands as a bridge between borrowers’ ambitions and lenders’ need for risk mitigation. By leveraging owned property, customers can access substantial funds at competitive rates, while continuing to use and own their assets. In a market where volatility and unpredictability are on the rise, LAP’s collateral-backed structure assures lenders of repayment security, making it a preferred product for safer lending and financial inclusion.&nbsp;Here’s why LAP is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of India’s modern financial ecosystem:&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="vya2ompz0" style="text-align: left">1. Collateral Backing&nbsp;</h3>Because LAP is secured by a tangible asset commonly residential or commercial property, it poses a lower risk for lenders. This directly translates into much lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans, making borrowing more affordable for individuals and businesses.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="5pix6q1yh" style="text-align: left">2. Larger Loan Amounts&nbsp;</h3>With the security of property as collateral, LAP typically allows borrowers to access higher loan amounts—often up to 60-70% of the property’s assessed value. This makes it ideal for major expenses such as business expansion, higher education, or large personal needs.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="5wau8vvcz" style="text-align: left">3. Longer Repayment Tenure&nbsp;</h3>LAP loans generally offer extended repayment periods, often stretching up to 15–20 years. This enables borrowers to manage EMIs more comfortably and align repayments with their cash flow.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="6anwbez2r" style="text-align: left">4. Flexible Use of Funds&nbsp;</h3>Unlike a home loan or vehicle loan, the end-use of funds availed through LAP is largely unrestricted. Borrowers, especially MSMEs and entrepreneurs, can use the funds for working capital, debt consolidation, business growth, or even personal needs.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="hd0nfna79" style="text-align: left">5. Continued Ownership and Utility of Asset&nbsp;</h3>Borrowers retain ownership and use of their property throughout the loan tenure. If repayments are made on time, there is no disruption to the use of the assets.&nbsp;<h3 class="heading-node" id="i15yk2ugt" style="text-align: left">6. Improved Portfolio Stability and Growth&nbsp;</h3>From a lender’s perspective, LAP loans add stability to the overall loan portfolio, especially important during periods of economic fluctuation or when unsecured delinquencies are rising. Asset-backed products have a proven record of resilience in both good and turbulent times.&nbsp;<h2 class="heading-node" id="tgpz7p4lg" style="text-align: left">Redefining Secured Lending with M2P’s Loan Against Property Platform&nbsp;</h2>At M2P, we are transforming how financial institutions launch, scale, and manage their Loan Against Property (LAP) portfolios.
