ICICI Bank Launches Insta Loans against Mutual Funds: Get Loan Up To Rs. 1 Crore

The ICICI Bank has launched an ‘Insta Loans against Mutual Funds’ which will operate in partnership with ‘Computer Age Management Services’ (CAMS). This new venture is an extension of the Insta LAS, which is an instant loan facility against equity shares, and was launched by the bank over a year ago.

Under this scheme, customers can now get a loan of up to Rs. 1 crore by pledging their holdings in both debt and equity mutual funds. This is a digital and paperless facility enabling the customers to avail the loan as an overdraft in only a few minutes. They wouldn’t be required to even visit a bank or submit any physical documents. 

Rajesh Iyer, Head- Wealth, Private Banking and LAS, ICICI Bank expressed in a press release, “We are happy to partner with CAMS for this facility to provide complete digital access for loans against mutual funds to our customers.”

In this facility, customers will be given access to instant liquidity, and all they need to do is leverage their existing mutual funds without selling them. The loans can also be availed against a wide range of debt and equity schemes of mutual funds that are serviced by the CAMS and approved by the Bank. 

The minimum loan amount is Rs. 50000 for both debt and equity schemes, whereas, the maximum loan amount is Rs. 1 crore for debt schemes of MFs and Rs. 20 lakh for equity schemes of MFs.

There will be a minimum of 20% competitive margin for debt and 50% for equity mutual funds.

As the loan is available as an overdraft customers will not be required to pay any EMI. Only be required to pay interest on the utilized limit and for the day that it was utilized.

Customers will be given the flexibility to repay the principal whenever they want to, and there will be no foreclosure charges.
