6. Services Provided

Everlight Holdings Pvt Ltd offers the following financial services to eligible clients:

  • Business Loans: We provide tailored business loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to support working capital, expansion, equipment purchases, or other business needs.
  • Credit Lines: Our flexible credit lines allow businesses to access funds up to a pre-approved limit, repay them, and borrow again as needed, with interest charged only on the amount used.
  • Financial Analysis: We offer custom financial analysis services to help clients understand their financial health, assess business performance, and make informed decisions.
  • Taxation Planning: Our taxation planning services assist clients in optimizing their tax liabilities, ensuring compliance with Indian tax laws, and planning for better financial outcomes.
  • Investment Trading: We provide investment trading services to help clients manage their investments, subject to market risks and fluctuations.
  • Financial Partnership: We act as a financial partner, offering strategic support to businesses and individuals for long-term financial growth and stability.

 

These services are provided on an “as-is” basis, meaning we do not guarantee specific outcomes or results. For example, applying for a business loan does not guarantee approval, as it depends on your eligibility, financial profile, and compliance with our internal policies. All services are subject to the risks outlined in this document, and you are responsible for assessing those risks before proceeding.

7. Application Process for Services

To avail our services, such as a business loan or credit line, you must follow our application process:

  • Submission: Submit an application through our website, email, or in person at our Kolkata office, providing accurate personal, financial, and business information.

  • Verification: We will verify your information, which may include checking your credit score through a credit bureau, contacting references, or conducting background checks.
  • Approval: If your application meets our criteria, we will approve your request and provide you with the terms of the service (e.g., loan amount, interest rate, repayment schedule).
  • Agreement: Upon approval, you will be required to sign a formal agreement outlining the terms of the service, such as repayment obligations for a business loan.
  • Disbursal: Once the agreement is signed, funds will be disbursed to your designated bank account, typically within a few days, depending on the service.

 

We reserve the right to reject any application at our discretion, based on factors such as creditworthiness, incomplete documentation, or non-compliance with eligibility criteria. For example, if your business turnover does not meet our minimum requirement, we may decline your loan application.

8. Fees and Charges

Our services may involve fees and charges, which will be clearly communicated to you before you agree to the service. These may include:

  • Processing Fees: A one-time fee for processing your application, such as 1-2% of the loan amount for a business loan.
  • Interest Rates: Interest on loans or credit lines, which varies based on your financial profile, market conditions, and RBI guidelines.
  • Late Payment Fees: Additional charges for delayed repayments, such as a penalty of 2% per month on overdue loan installments.
  • Prepayment Charges: Fees for repaying a loan early, if applicable, as specified in your loan agreement.
  • Service Fees: Charges for additional services, such as financial analysis or taxation planning, which will be disclosed upfront.

 

All fees and charges will be outlined in the agreement you sign before availing the service. We do not charge hidden fees, and we ensure transparency in our pricing. For example, if you apply for a business loan of ₹5 lakh, the processing fee and interest rate will be clearly stated in your loan agreement. You are responsible for paying all applicable fees and charges as per the agreed terms.

9. Repayment Obligations

If you avail a loan or credit line from Everlight Holdings Pvt Ltd, you are obligated to repay the borrowed amount as per the terms outlined in your agreement. This includes:

  • Timely Payments: You must make repayments on the due dates specified in your repayment schedule, typically monthly.
  • Interest Payments: You are responsible for paying interest on the outstanding amount, as per the agreed rate.
  • Penalties for Delay: Late payments may incur penalties, such as additional interest or fees, and may negatively impact your credit score.
  • Default Consequences: Failure to repay may result in legal action, recovery proceedings, or reporting to credit bureaus, which could affect your ability to secure future financing.

 

For example, if you borrow ₹3 lakh through a business loan with a 12-month repayment term, you must pay the monthly installments on time to avoid penalties. We encourage you to contact us immediately if you face difficulties in making payments, as we may be able to offer solutions, such as restructuring your repayment plan, subject to our discretion.

10. Risks of Financial Products

All financial products offered by Everlight Holdings Pvt Ltd, including business loans, credit lines, and investment trading, involve inherent risks that you should understand:

  • Credit Risk: Failure to repay a loan or credit line on time may lead to penalties, legal action, or a negative impact on your credit score.
  • Market Risk: Investment trading services are subject to market volatility, and you may incur financial losses due to changes in market conditions, such as a decline in stock prices.
  • Interest Rate Risk: Interest rates on loans or credit lines may fluctuate based on market conditions or RBI policy changes, affecting your repayment obligations.
  • Operational Risk: Delays in loan disbursal, technical issues, or other operational challenges may impact your ability to access funds or services.
  • Regulatory Risk: Changes in RBI regulations or other laws may affect the terms, availability, or cost of our services.

 

We do not guarantee specific outcomes or results from using our services. For example, engaging in investment trading does not guarantee profits, as market conditions can lead to losses. You are responsible for assessing these risks and consulting with a financial advisor if needed before proceeding with our services.

19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms & Conditions and your use of our website and services are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from your interaction with Everlight Holdings Pvt Ltd shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Kolkata, West Bengal. By using our website or services, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of these courts for the resolution of any legal disputes.

21. Changes to These Terms & Conditions

Everlight Holdings Pvt Ltd reserves the right to update or modify these Terms & Conditions at any time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or business practices. We encourage you to review these Terms & Conditions periodically to stay informed about our policies. Your continued use of our website or services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

22. Electronic Communications

By using our website or services, you agree to receive communications from us electronically, such as via email or notices posted on our website. These communications may include updates about your application, loan disbursal, repayment schedules, or changes to our policies. For example, we may email you to confirm the approval of your business loan application. You agree that electronic communications fulfill any legal requirement for written communication.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms & Conditions is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under Indian law, that provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. For example, if a court determines that a specific limitation of liability clause is unenforceable, the rest of these terms will still apply, and we will work to replace the invalid provision with a valid one that reflects our original intent.

24. Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms & Conditions at any time does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. For example, if we do not immediately charge a late payment fee for a delayed loan installment, this does not mean we waive our right to charge such fees in the future. Any waiver of our rights must be explicitly stated in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Everlight Holdings Pvt Ltd.
