// FAQ
Loan apps — questions readers ask before installing
- Open the RBI website's 'List of NBFCs' and search the parent lender's exact registered name (not the app brand). If the parent is a regulated NBFC or a bank, the app is RBI-supervised. If you cannot find the parent — or the app refuses to disclose the parent — it is almost certainly unauthorised. Every review on SahiSujhav lists the parent lender and its RBI status.
