India’s leading public sector bank, Punjab National Bank (PNB), has launched a tech-based loan management solution called PNB LenS – The Lending Solution, to speed-up and maintain accuracy in online loan processing and sanctioning of credit proposals.
Post-merger, it was paramount to have a stringent loan management solution, which can be used for
activities related to lead capturing, loan appraisal, sanction, and documentation. PNB started development/customization of an IT-based solution PNB LenS – The Lending Solution for loan management. It facilitates field functionaries in uniform and consistent appraisal methodology to improve due diligence standards.
The main purpose behind the PNB LenS is to standardize the system, process and appraisal formats for loan processing, speed up the process of credit sanctions, auto-generate loan documents for each type of credit facilities, reduce delay, cost, and human errors involved in manual processing, digital record maintenance, security & data privacy, and ready to use monitoring and MIS reports for better tracking and transparency. This system is envisaged to be implemented in a phased manner for all kinds of loans – MSME, Agriculture, Retail & other credit.
Processing and sanction of credit proposals up to Rs.10 lakh under the Mudra Scheme including MSME loans (fresh/renewal/enhancement/ review) shall be done through PNB LenS w.e.f. 01.12.2020.
