Definition

A processing fee is a non-refundable charge covering administrative costs of evaluating the application, verifying documents, and assessing eligibility. In India, fees typically range from 0.5% to 2% of the loan amount, plus 18% GST.

Some lenders offer reduced fees during promotions or for strong credit profiles. The fee is usually deducted at disbursement or collected upfront. Borrowers should factor it into overall cost comparisons.
