It is a brand new feature for improving the growth of the industry to focus on dodging the market decline. The companies hold credit-worthiness and every financial institution can get access to their credit history before making an informed decision about sanctioning loan.
CIBIL iScan is the new feature for providing the banks with immediate access of receiving extensive information on the credit rating of the companies. It is done with anaim at the assisting banks for limiting the number of stressed accounts and maintaining best practices against fraudulent cases. The importance of the feature is deeply rooted in the use of risk mitigation management. In recent times, the national economy has faced certain drawbacks due to cases of fraud carried out by prominent business groups. For preventing the cases of stressed bank accounts, the banks also can make sure that the current corporate account is not initiated outside the bank except the one with borrowing arrangement. In this way, the financial institutions are aligned with the credit-worthiness of the company before welcoming them. In a nutshell, CIBIL iScan offers comprehensive information of a corporate organisation’s credit history all over the credit and financial companies.

Nowadays, the list of bad debts in the banks is increasing and the overdue loan payments of the corporate organisations are to be blamed. Indian Banking Association implies that the distressed corporate leads to trouble for the borrowing arrangement with the financial institutions which are beyond their limits.

However, the companies are now barred from taking several loans at a time and eligibility for taking a loan is calculated through the CIBIL iScan.
The financial institutions are now free from the stress of facing stressed accounts when the corporate organisation is facing decline. In a nutshell, it is a blessing for the banks suffering adversely after sanctioning loans. Now, the financial institutions can acquire NOC or No Objection Certificate for the organisations in question. Before initiating with the procedure of opening loan account, the CIBIL iScan informs the banking personnel about the present credit history of the company.
The banks are facing various complaints about making the loan procedure awfully long. Due to the time-consuming document verification procedures, the banks have been facing backlashes ever since. It is to note that the banks undertake researches for finding out whether they are on-boarding the right type of customer.
The corporate company requires opening a bank account at first for managing the financial transactions. During this time, the companies have to undergo the ‘Know Your Customer’ stage for the banks to make sure that they do not violate rules. Ensuring that the company is involved with any illegal activity, the financial papers are checked to prevent the case of becoming the company’s ruse.
In many cases, the corporate organisations had to wait for months for successfully passing the verification process and being eligible for guaranteeing repayment. However, the scope of risk is not completely mitigated through the traditional way. Now, CIBIL iScan is capable of saving time and helping the company at the hour of need.
The feature can effectively decrease the market risk and influence growth in a positive way. It holds the concise view of the company with the financial institution.
