Navanc is building India’s first ever creditworthiness score to Properties and Assets and aims to make leveraging the assets for financial access a reality amidst all the hassles of documentation. The company is presently testing its product through institutional tie ups with major Financial Institutions including a large HFC and a small finance bank.

The funds raised in this round will help Navanc to ramp up the product to go to market and hire aspiring engineers who want to solve one of the crucial problems in India’s financial services industry.

Leveraging DeepTech, Navanc provides complete information of the asset or property under consideration and aims to provide real time information on property’s credit worthiness. The product has been built with layers of data pooling from various sources like Geospatial insights, legal track check and crime reporting on properties. It has tied up with many start ups to get valid data like Skyserve.ai, CrimeCheck.ai and others.

Nagachethan S M, Founder of Navanc said, “Land and Home as an asset class is the second largest in India next only to Gold, yet this asset class is highly under leveraged. India’s mortgage based loans such as Home Loans, Working Capital Loans and Business Loans are prone to tedious processes and customers are always unaware of asset’s creditworthiness. Financial Institutions are many a times sceptical of asset’s disposability as a result the loans get stranded as bad debt on their books.

At Navanc, we are creating India’s first comprehensive credit score mechanism to the assets possessed by an Individual and help him/her leverage the same financially. Hence, we are building lifetime value (LTV) instead of the now popular loan to value (LTV). The product would also add a significant value for financial credit access in rural and semi-urban areas.”

Navanc has previously been part of prestigious accelerator programs such as ShelterTech accelerator at Habitat for Humanity and Brigade Real Estate Accelerator Program (Brigade REAP). It was also a Financial Inclusion Champion as part of the Bharat Inclusion Initiative, a program run by IIM Ahmedabad based startup accelerator.

Explained: How cryptocurrencies will be taxed after Budget 2022

Image
 The budget proposes to tax virtual digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens. It has smartly used the word ‘transfer’ to bring more people into the tax net. In her Budget 2022 speech, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the transfer of virtual digital assets would attract a 30 percent tax. This, by all means, refers to cryptocurrencies, even though India’s Cryptocurrency Bill has not been tabled or discussed in Parliament. For those who have been investing in cryptocurrencies, this may have come as a breather because the general feeling is that at least it won’t be banned now. Here's a breakdown of some aspects related to the transaction and taxation of virtual digital assets. Is Bitcoin a virtual digital asset? To be sure, nowhere in her budget speech or in the budget documents has the word ‘cryptocurrency’ been mentioned. Instead, the budget spoke of ‘virtual digital assets’ and defined them as “any information or code or ...
