The problem

A personal, business or loan-against-property file brings together KYC, salary slips or ITRs, GST returns, Udyam registration, bank statements and property papers. Files sourced by DSAs often arrive as WhatsApp photos or merged PDFs, and the processing hub types fields into the LOS before an underwriter can even open the case.

Re-keying before credit review

Processing staff key applicant, employer, income and business details from documents into LOS screens, and every typo travels into the credit memo.

Incomplete files found late

Missing ITR years, unsigned forms or an expired address proof are found by the underwriter, sending the file back to the DSA.

Inconsistencies across documents

Income on salary slips, Form 16, ITR and bank credits, or turnover across GST returns and financials, rarely match exactly and need judgement.

Formats that vary by segment

Salaried, self-employed professional and small business files each need different documents and fields, which template-based tools handle poorly.

What we build

We build an extraction pipeline that takes the whole loan file, splits merged PDFs and photo sets into documents, classifies each one and extracts the fields your LOS and credit memo need for that segment. A language model reads documents in context, so a salary slip from a small employer or a CA-prepared computation of income is still captured correctly. The pipeline checks the file against your document checklist for the product, compares names, dates of birth, addresses and income figures across documents, and lists inconsistencies with page references. Clean files are posted to the LOS; low-confidence fields and checklist gaps go to a processing executive.

Splits merged PDFs and phone-photo sets into individual documents and classifies them
Extracts KYC, employment, salary, ITR computation, GST return and Udyam fields with page references
Segment-specific checklists for salaried, self-employed and business loans
Cross-document checks on identity, address and declared versus documented income
Masks Aadhaar at intake and reads PAN, voter ID, passport and driving licence
Posts structured data to the LOS and returns a gap list to the DSA or branch

How it works

01Collect the fileDocuments arrive from the DSA portal, branch scanners, email or the digital journey and are grouped under the application ID.
02Split and classifyMerged files are split, pages are typed, and duplicates and unreadable pages are identified.
03Extract fieldsSegment-specific schemas extract identity, employment, income and business fields with confidence scores.
04Check the fileThe product checklist confirms required documents, and cross-document rules compare identity and income figures.
05Processing reviewLow-confidence fields, inconsistencies and gaps go to a processing executive who confirms values or requests documents.
06Post to the LOSVerified data and the evidence trail are posted to the LOS, ready for underwriting.

Inputs and outputs

Inputs

Loan application form and declarations
KYC documents: PAN, masked Aadhaar, voter ID, passport or driving licence
Salary slips, Form 16 and employment letters
ITR acknowledgements, computation of income and financial statements
GST returns, Udyam registration and business licences
Product document checklist and credit memo field list

Outputs

Structured, LOS-ready applicant and income data
Checklist status with missing and expired items
Cross-document inconsistency list with page links
Gap list for the DSA or branch
Audit trail of extracted values and edits

Where people stay in control

Processing executives confirm low-confidence fields and resolve inconsistencies, and underwriters assess every file. The pipeline does not judge creditworthiness; it hands over clean, verifiable data.

Integrations

Loan origination system (via API or staging table)
DSA portal or partner app
Credit bureau integration already used by the lender
Document management system
CRM for application tracking

Guardrails

Aadhaar masked at intake per UIDAI rules
Field-level confidence thresholds agreed with credit operations
Inconsistencies reported, never silently resolved
Personal data masked in logs and kept in the lender's chosen region
Sampling of auto-posted files for quality checks

Compliance notes

Supports need-based data collection and purpose limitation expected under RBI digital lending rules and the DPDP Act 2023.
Keeps a document-level audit trail useful for internal audit and partner due diligence.

A typical pilot

Duration: 3 weeks

One product and segment, such as unsecured business loans for self-employed borrowers, on de-identified historical files from two or three DSAs, compared with LOS data keyed by your team.

Deliverables

01Checklist and extraction schema for the pilot product
02Working pipeline on de-identified files
03Processing review screen
04Field accuracy and checklist report
05Production plan with LOS integration approach

What we measure

Field extraction accuracy: Extracted values compared with LOS data verified by processing staff for the same files.
Checklist gap detection: Gaps found by the pipeline compared with gaps underwriters raised on the same files.
Fields routed for review: Low-confidence fields per file, by document type.
Processing time per file: Timed for executives with and without the pipeline on matched samples.

FAQs

01Can it read documents photographed on a phone?

Yes. The pipeline corrects skew and lighting and reads typical DSA phone photos. Fields it cannot read with confidence are sent for review, and the pilot reports accuracy separately for scans and photos.

02Does it handle ITRs and CA-prepared financials?

Yes. It reads ITR acknowledgements, computations of income, balance sheets and profit and loss statements, and maps key figures to your credit memo fields. Credit judgement on those figures stays with the underwriter.

03Will it slow down DSA submissions?

No. Processing runs in the background after upload, and DSAs receive a gap list sooner than they would after manual review.

04Which LOS platforms do you integrate with?

We integrate through the LOS's APIs or a staging table, which covers common commercial and in-house systems. The exact mapping is agreed with your IT team in the pilot.
