Lenders less likely to extend credit to new borrower now than a decade back

Lenders are less likely to provide loans to borrowers who are new to credit, as they prefer to serve their existing customers, a leading credit information company said on Thursday. According to TransUnion CIBIL data, only 13 per cent of overall loans in FY26 were NTC borrowers against 32 per cent in FY17 despite an expansion in the number of credit-eligible people to 89 crore from 79 crore at March 2017. Its chief executive and managing director Bhavesh Jain said private sector lenders are least likely to entertain NTC customers, and the bulk of such borrowers are brought by public sector banks and non-bank lenders. Jain said a particular lender's risk appetite or credit policy would be influencing such decisions of staying away from the NTC category, and stressed that the repayment performance of the NTC category is on par with prime or near-prime borrowers. In some cases, lenders are choosing to give credit not just to existing credit customers, but to borrowers who have a histo

Education-loan AUM of NBFCs seen up 20% despite slower US biz: Crisil

The growth in education-loan assets under management of non-banking finance companies is projected to stay steady at 20 per cent this fiscal, with increasing diversification across study destinations offsetting the impact on demand for US-focused education amid policy uncertainties, a Crisil Ratings report said on Tuesday. Asset quality has been robust so far and is expected to stay stable, even as the share of the portfolio transitioning from moratorium to repayment has increased, the report said. NBFCs (non-banking finance companies) typically structure education loans with a moratorium period aligned to course tenure, it said. Repayment obligations, in the form of Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs), are calibrated to borrowers' earning potential and which typically commence when the course is completed and the student gets employed, it said. Nevertheless, with a substantial portion of the book still under contractual moratorium, the portfolio's performance over a broader repayme
