Qualoan Allegedly Emailed an Employer for 'Employment Verification' Over a Loan

Qualoan - another app operated by Naman Finlease Pvt Ltd - is alleged, in a documented borrower complaint, to have emailed a borrower's employer's staff seeking "employment verification" over an unpaid loan. The borrower says the message reached his workplace; Qualoan's side is not recorded here, and the claim is described as alleged.

Same firm, familiar tactic

Qualoan shares its operating company, Naman Finlease Pvt Ltd, with Zayloloan, Funds Bull and Zepto Finance. Approaching a borrower's employer under the guise of "verification" is, on the borrower's account, a way to apply pressure through the workplace - conduct the RBI's Fair Practices Code does not permit.

Know your rights as a borrower

The lenders in these reports are RBI-registered NBFCs, which means the Reserve Bank of India's Fair Practices Code binds them. Under it, recovery agents may not call before 8 am or after 7 pm; they may not contact your employer, family or references to pressure you; abuse and threats are prohibited; the all-in interest rate (APR) must be disclosed up front in the Key Facts Statement; and recovery may happen only by lawful means. The Government of India has blocked more than 600 predatory digital-lending apps and the RBI has issued repeated advisories - but the entities named here are registered, regulated companies, which makes their own paperwork the story.

How to report a loan app: the official channels

You do not need to pay anyone to be heard. Report a lender to RBI Sachet (sachet.rbi.org.in), and if a regulated entity does not resolve your complaint within 30 days, escalate to the RBI Ombudsman through the Complaint Management System. For threats, harassment or data misuse, file at the National Cyber Crime portal (cybercrime.gov.in) or call the helpline 1930. You may also file a consumer complaint. Keep every screenshot, email and call log - that record is your evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Is a Qualoan loan legal in India?

Qualoan is operated by Naman Finlease Pvt Ltd, an RBI-registered NBFC, so the lending is legal. Emailing your employer for 'employment verification' to pressure repayment, as alleged in a documented complaint, is not lawful recovery - the RBI Fair Practices Code bars contacting your employer to apply pressure.

Can a loan app call my office or family?

No. Under the RBI Fair Practices Code, recovery agents may not contact your employer, family or references to pressure you, may not call before 8 am or after 7 pm, and may not use abuse or threats. Approaching your workplace or contacts to shame you over a loan falls outside lawful recovery, whatever an app's agreement says.

How do I report a loan app to the RBI?

Start at RBI Sachet (sachet.rbi.org.in). If the NBFC does not resolve your complaint within 30 days, escalate to the RBI Ombudsman through the Complaint Management System. For threats or data misuse, use the National Cyber Crime portal (cybercrime.gov.in) or call 1930, and keep all screenshots and statements.
