How long does loan disbursement usually take after approval?
It depends on the kind of loans one is taking.
Timelines vary by lender. Many digital lenders disburse the same or next working day after you e-sign the agreement and set up the repayment mandate, but your lender's sanction letter / Key Fact Statement (KFS) is the authority. Bank holidays and verification checks can add days. Please speak to your lender and go through the KFS to know more.
For home loans, disbursement follows legal and technical checks of the property and signing of the agreement. For under-construction property, money is released in stages to the builder as construction progresses. Business loans depend on the lender's credit appraisal. Ask your lender for a written timeline.
What should I do if my loan disbursement is delayed?
Common reasons for delay
- Missing or incorrect documents.
