I recommend investing in Uni Cards Powerup, which offers a return of 9%, but only for those with a CIBIL score of 780 or higher. While all P2P platforms are currently offering the mentioned return, some have recently reduced their returns (12%Club) and stopped referral programs. It is important to take note of these changes before investing in P2P lending.


It is also crucial to consider the NBFC rating of the platform, as they will be handling your money. Lendbox has a poor rating and is used by MobiKwik for their Zip Cash Loan program.

On the other hand, Liquiloans is considered the best option, and Scaler and top institute students are availing themselves of loans with no-cost EMI, although the loan is topped up with EMI cost.

Lendenclub is used by the 12%Club and seems to be doing well, but it is unclear who the borrowers are, although it appears that BharatPe is giving loans to UPI merchants.


Overall, the P2P lending market is thriving in India, and third-party administrators (TPAs) are a better option than NBFCs. Consider going with platforms such as Cred Mint and Uni Powerup, the latter of which I have used and has a dedicated account manager for support.

I moved away from 12%Club after they reduced their return rate from 12% to 10% without any prior notice, which felt suspicious to me.

I was sceptical about doing kyc on mobikwik but since 12% stopped taking deposits, i gave it a try and no issues faced till now. Also in 12% club i can see how much of my money is given to whom and how many people it is split between, couldnt find same from mobikwik

Both dont do it, just withdraw every 2-4 weeks and reinvest. I withdraw when total interest reaches 1k which is minimum investment required and then invest it

In that case ur money will be locked for a specific period... Like 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months... If u try to withdraw before time... U will only get 8% which is a normal fd rate... Why to take a risk in this... Only if u are sure to invest money for minimum 3 months... Go forward....

Cant invest through laptop, you need mobile app. I dont invest in 13% because that has a minimum lockin of 3 months which i dont prefer for the marginal increase of <1%. Plus if you start compounding on your own, the gap reduces further

Thanks. I don't know this statement is available for download.

Borrowers are taking loans from Lenden Club from outrageous amounts ~2% per month and above. I wondered how they could give 12% annually but now they can give easily even if 10-20%  people are defaulted.

@manehari Well, unorganized, unofficial modes of P2P has had and will have >2% monthly rates (3% is quite common if you survey in some regions), "outrageous" to you but acceptable to people who borrow for short periods and in real need. Also, many credit cards charge > 42% APR, that translates to about 4% monthly... so what's wrong in that?

Nothing wrong as long as my principal is safe with these P2P lenders.

They might use a lot of parameters or AI to decide on interest rates based on the borrower risk profile. To decrease the probability of default rate it would be good if they can decrease interest rates to nominal

@manehari Their marketing or internal team is better qualified to asess that and make adjustments to lending rate and recovery failure rates... They are here to make profit and have their cut, as big as possible keeping a balance and acceptable risk parameters...

Well written thoughts .
Isn’t it better to do FDs than get 9% in P2P ?

Also cred gives 9% and had seemed the most reliable of all, with no policy change from the beginning. However again it was attractive when bank fds were very low.

@rajatindia I was quite heavily invested in 12% and cred. Liquidated both after FD interests rectified. Had minor issues with 12% but it can be ignored. Cred had no issues. Just left because I was having to daily monitor news related to P2P lending and the way 12% club changed their policies without any warnings seemed risky to me.
nothing negative agains P2P lending, just that current the interest difference didn’t make much value for the effort I had to give. 12% club no longer gives fixed 12% as before, it gives ~10%

P2p provides below advantages

Daily Interest credited, you can invest that in Index Fund sip for better compounding

No lockin anytime withdrawal.

It's better IMO

Risk reduce significantly when you do FD (but with some credible banks) in exchange for 1-2% low returns

IG even Top tier NCD are better when compared with P2P lending IMO

Yes FD can be done, but I need liquidity so that when market is down, I can take money from P2P and then put in stock market.

Is that 9% fixed in mint if we withdraw after some days or any charges?
