Merchants who use QR to accept payments are eligible for Axis MCA-QR Loan. There is no requirement of any security or collateral. Partner QR is mandatory to apply for loan.
Zero physical documentation is required to process your MCA-QR loan. No collateral is required for MCA-QR loan.
The interest rate has been kept very competitive of 2% per month or 24% per annum on reducing balance.
A special repayment solution has been curated for MCA-QR. It involves:
1. Automated small deduction by your QR service provider from your QR sales proceeds on daily basis instead of manual repayment of lump sum EMI amount on due date.
2. In case of shortfall in recovery via QR settlement, automated recovery will be done from your Axis Current Account on EMI due date.
Hence, the repayment will be completely automated. This minimises the risk of missing EMI and thereby helps avoid late payment charges. Make sure that you keep your Current Account funded for the month where less recovery has been done from QR settlements.
The complete view for daily retention done using your QR for EMI will be available in your QR service provider application.
Repayment for MCA-QR is automated basis daily retention model from QR proceeds. However, if you wish to make the payment or ensure that dues, if any, are cleared on time, it is advisable to keep your Axis Current Account funded as auto recovery from CA has been enabled.
The benefits of a daily retention model are:
1. Less Total Interest Payable - as daily retained amount also acts as a prepayment.
2. Auto recovery, implies less worries about missing out on EMI dues.
3. Repaying in small amounts on a daily basis reduces the pressure on your finances as no lump sum payment needs to be made for EMI.
In the daily retention model, small portion of funds from QR settlement will be retained on a daily basis towards EMI payment (interest benefit will be extended for the same). To keep recovery flexible, the EMI due for a cycle will be recovered in 25 days* * assuming that we receive daily retention amount from QR settlement proceeds and number of days due to EMI is >=25.
Below are the EMI due dates depending upon the loan account opening date.
Skipping or missing EMIs does not reflect well on your credit worthiness and could impact your credit score. Hence, borrow and repay wisely, within your means, in the interest of your financial well-being.
