A personal loan journey is not over with the payment of the last EMI. The last and most important step remains – obtaining the No Dues Certificate from the lender. It is an essential document required to complete a lot of tasks after completely paying off the loan.
What's a No Dues Certificate?
After the last EMI is paid, the lender issues a letter to the borrower certifying that she has paid the loan, the interest, and all the other applicable charges, and is not liable to pay any more money. Only after the No Dues Certificate is issued that the bank formally close the loan.
All banks follow their respective format for the No Dues Certificate. However, commonly, they mention the name and the address of the borrower, the loan details, and a declaration that the loan had been fully repaid.
After the last EMI is paid, the bank will issue the No Dues Certificate (NDC) through email, a hard copy through courier, or both.
