Modernizing Loan Documentation Through Digital Execution

Laptop

Som Datt Finance Corporation Limited, an NBFC serving Retail and MSME borrowers, was managing loan documentation through largely offline and manual processes. The absence of a digital execution journey for signing, stamping, and mandates resulted in slower turnaround times, operational dependency, and limited scalability. To modernize its lending operations and introduce a seamless digital journey, Som Datt partnered with Melento to digitize the end-to-end loan documentation process.

By implementing Melento’s integrated eSign, eStamp, and eNaCH solutions, Som Datt transitioned to a unified digital execution model, improving speed, compliance, and operational efficiency in one go.

The Challenge

Manual, Offline Loan Documentation

Loan documentation at Som Datt Finance Corporation Limited relied on physical stamping, wet signatures, and offline mandate execution. This led to delayed loan disbursals, increased dependency on branch-level coordination, limited visibility into document status, and higher compliance risk due to manual handling. Even with moderate monthly volumes of 200–300 documents, these inefficiencies impacted borrower experience and internal productivity.

The Turning Point

Adopting Melento’s Digital Documentation Stack

With Melento’s eSign, eStamp, and eNACH solutions, Som Datt digitized its entire loan documentation journey. Aadhaar-based eSign and integrated eStamping eliminated physical paperwork, while digital eNACH enabled faster and compliant mandate execution. The result was a secure, paperless, and standardized workflow across Retail and MSME lending.
