Digamber Finance Information

Digamber Capfin Ltd (DCL) started operations as an NBFC in 1995 with the mission of providing a range of financial services to the population who are not adequately served by financial institutions. We were the first institution in Rajasthan who provides financial services into rural areas, our focus was on the remaining 70% of the population who lives in villages and does not have formal credit access. The main products were vehicle financing, farmer’s credit, and small business loans. As we were expert in rural credit and microfinance is the best way to help them further so after 2009 we change our RBI classification from Asset Finance Company to NBFC- Microfinance Institution. Today, DCL offers a diverse range of loan products to cater to the specific requirements of our customers. Our products can be classified into four categories, viz; Microfinance, Trade Finance, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Finance. MFI loans follow the Grameen model of lending which is a Joint-Liability Group (JLG) lending model mainly focuses on a woman through a credit product that allows her to start a new business or enhance her existing business as well. DCL provides prompt, convenient and affordable collateral-free credit to people at the bottom of the pyramid through a strong credit assessment and centralized approval, depending on the end use, these broad categories of products can be further sub-divided into agricultural, education, home improvement, and livestock loans. Trader finance is secured and unsecured higher ticket size loan products which are available for both existing and open market customers. DCL has adopted an integrated approach to lending which combines a high customer touch-point typical of microfinance, with the technology infrastructure and related back-end support functions similar to that of a retail bank. This integrated approach has enabled it to manage increasing business volumes and optimize overall efficiencies.
