The uniqueness of Peer-to-Peer lending is that the interest rates are set by you - the lender and the borrower. The purpose of PeerLend is to close the gap between what you, as the lender can earn on your money and what borrowers pay for their loans. However, we do have an interset “rate range”, which both lenders and borrowers can negotiate within. The range is between 14% and 36% . This range is set based on the loan term, economic environment and competitive environment.
There are very quick turnaround times (usually less than a week) for you to get your loan. But this solely depends on how detailed your profile is. Ensure that you update your profile with all the necessary information so that the lenders can make offers to you. Elaborate on your profile details and give additional information where ever required.

Equated Monthly Instalments (EMI) payments include contributions towards both principal and interest of the loan amount. The interest component constitutes the major portion of the EMI payment in the initial stages. As we progress along the loan tenure, the portion of interest repayment reduces and the contribution towards the principal repayment increases. Your earnings are taxable as per the income tax rules that apply to you. When the borrower makes a prepayment, you will receive your share of the principal amount outstanding (calculated on pro-rata basis) at the time of the prepayment.
