Short of Money at month end? these fintech platforms can offer short term loans

New Delhi: How many times have you found yourself short of cash near the end of the month? When, the salary day seems far away. You have to scrounge hard to complete the month with your bank account teetering on a triple-digit balance.

At this critical juncture of the month, what if you had a sudden need for a bit of money? What if you could borrow just a little amount that you can repay in a few days? Short term loans can be a good solution to help overcome temporary cash flow or expenditure issues.

These instant loans can make your life much easier without having to run around banks as they are disbursed online with minimum documentation.
