Investors can avail of the loan anytime, and the loan amount will be credited to their registered bank account within a few hours. Investors can repay their loan amount without incurring any prepayment or foreclosure charges. Geojit Credits’ loan against mutual funds interest rate starts from just 8.99 per cent per annum. The interest would be charged only on the amount utilised by investors and for the loan duration.

Bejoy Anthraper, business head of Geojit Credits, said, “The need for short-term liquidity of money is growing as demand is picking up and digital transactions are expanding rapidly.
