Borrowing against your investments can be far more cost-effective, but many only realize how expensive unsecured credit is once they\u2019re already paying for it.<\/p>\n<p>Since starting full-scale operations in 2023, we\u2019ve steadily expanded LAS. Along the way, feedback from customers and our own learnings have shaped the product. Now, we\u2019re rolling out several updates to make LAS simpler, more accessible, and useful.<\/p>\n<h3>Longer tenure, up to 3 years<\/h3>\n<p>Earlier, loans could only be taken for 12 months. We have now increased the loan term to 3 years. You just pay the monthly interest, and the principal can be repaid anytime without penalties. A longer tenure gives you more flexibility and ensures you\u2019re not forced into early repayment when cash flow is tight.<\/p>\n<h3>Slab-based interest rates<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve introduced rates based on the loan amount:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u20b925,000 to \u20b950 lakh: 11% per annum (p.a.)<\/li>\n<li>\u20b950 lakh to \u20b91 crore: 10.75% p.a.<\/li>\n<li>\u20b91 crore to \u20b95 crore: 10.50% p.a.<\/li>\n<li>\u20b95 crore to \u20b910 crore: 10% p.a.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your rate is fixed when you take the loan and won\u2019t change with top-ups or repayments.<\/p>\n<h3>Simpler login with mobile OTP<\/h3>\n<p>You can now log in to Zerodha Capital with just your mobile number and an OTP. A separate Zerodha Capital Client ID will be created. When pledging shares, you\u2019ll still need to log in to Kite to authorize your holdings.<\/p>\n<h3>Free credit score check<\/h3>\n<p>You can now <a href=\"https:\/\/loans.zerodhacapital.com\/creditscore\">check your credit score<\/a> instantly on the platform. It\u2019s a soft pull, so your rating won\u2019t be affected. A detailed report from our partner, Experian, will be sent to your registered email.<\/p>\n<h3>Higher loan limit<\/h3>\n<p>The maximum loan amount has been increased from \u20b91 crore to \u20b910 crores, making it easier for users with larger portfolios to access funds for medical needs, business expenses, or property purchases.<\/p>\n<h3>Expanded approved securities<\/h3>\n<p>The list of approved securities has increased from 800 to 1,377. This includes more mutual funds and mid-cap stocks that have shown stability over time. Only stocks from NSE\u2019s Group 1 list are allowed.<\/p>\n<p>While RBI permits lending up to 50% of pledged securities, we maintain a 45% limit (55% haircut) to reduce the chances of margin calls during volatility. Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/zerodhacapital.com\/approved-list\">full list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Higher daily pledge limit<\/h3>\n<p>You can now pledge up to 50 securities in a day, up from the earlier limit of 10.<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple bank accounts<\/h3>\n<p>Along with your primary account, you can now link up to 2 secondary bank accounts. Loan disbursals will always go to your primary account, but repayments can be made from any linked account.<\/p>\n<h3>Key terms<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Processing fee: 0.25% + GST (capped at \u20b925,000)<\/li>\n<li>Minimum loan: \u20b925,000<\/li>\n<li>Minimum top-up: \u20b92,500<\/li>\n<li>Available only to resident Indian individuals<\/li>\n<li>Loan disbursed within 1 working day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Coming soon<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re building more features to make LAS smoother:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loan against mutual funds with CAMS integration for direct pledging of MF units<\/li>\n<li>Payment mandates to auto-debit the monthly interest so you never miss a due date<\/li>\n<li>Non-Zerodha demat support to enable a fully online loan process for customers of other brokers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The idea behind LAS is for the borrowers to use the amount for clearing high-interest loans like credit cards and genuine emergencies, not for speculation or trading.
