Loan Sanction Letter

← View All Glossary Terms
Definition

A loan sanction letter confirms the lender has approved the application and specifies key terms: sanctioned amount, interest rate, tenure, EMI, processing fee, and conditions for disbursement. It is not the same as disbursement — it confirms conditional approval.

Sanction letters have a validity period (usually 3-6 months). Comparing letters from multiple lenders helps identify the best offer. Terms like interest rate and processing fee are often negotiable.
