For those who are 59+

• In India, as you may know, NBFC/banks do not easily sanction loans to people over the age of 60, and if they do, they need a co-borrower who is younger and earning. Hence, we are not able to extend the 18-month EMI option to people over the age of 59. We can give you a payment plan of 3 months, 3 installments. If you cannot pay in a lump sum, you can pay in 3 EMIs of INR 21,300 per month directly to us.
• There is one situation where we can extend 18 months 0% interest EMI to people above the age of 59. If you have a valid credit card from selected banks (your own or anyone else’s), we can support you to avail an 18-month interest-free EMI through our 3rd party finance partners, PineLabs or Shopse.
  
  List of selected banks: HDFC, ICICI, HSBC, Kotak, Axis, Yes Bank, RBL, IndusInd, SBI, Citibank, Bank of Baroda, Standard Chartered, IDFC, AU Small Finance, One Card

• There is one more option. If you are over the age of 59 and don’t have access to a credit card, but can have someone younger with a good CIBIL score to apply as a co-borrower (whether your family member or otherwise), we can also extend the 18-month 0% interest EMI facility to you.
