Agreement with Capital Float

In October 2017, Tata Capital entered into an agreement with Capital Float to offer Working Capital Loans to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the country through co-lending on the latter’s digital lending platform. Their “Pay Later” product enables borrowers to enjoy a credit limit of up to INR 50 lakh for one year.[6]

Salaam Loans

Under its brand initiative, Do Right, Tata Capital launched Salaam Loans in May 2017.[7] The initiative is aimed at lending to individuals who do not have access to organized credit. Under Salaam Loans, the company eliminated the requirement of filling numerous forms and checking applicant's CIBIL score for small tickets loans.[8] It enables individuals to showcase stories on digital and social media. The stories with maximum ‘salaams’ or likes are entitled to secure a loan from Tata Capital.[9] The company then offers personal loans up to INR one lakh at discounted rates to deserving individuals.
