ECS/ NACH return charges
ECS or Electronic Clearing Services are a mode of transaction that streamline the entire process of making payments or receiving funds. It automates the whole process and eliminates the need for human intervention lowering the chances of any delays. Customers give ECS/ NACH mandate for repayment of EMIs. Such ECS/ NACH mandates are presented to the customers’ bank on scheduled dates for EMI clearance.
If your transaction fails due to lack of funds or any other reason, the respective financial institution (bank) shall levy a charge as a penalty. Such charges are disclosed by the relevant financial institution to their customers and may vary from one financial institution to another. Bajaj Finance Limited is one of the most trusted and transparent financial institutions in the country and it recommends that their customers maintain sufficient funds in their account at least a day prior to the EMI payment date. This will help avoid any ECS/ NACH return charges by their financial institution (bank).
In case your EMI repayment bank account is non-operative, dormant, frozen or closed, it is suggested to change the bank account for successful clearance of EMI to avoid any ECS/ NACH return charges. Alternately the EMI payment can be made through advance EMI payment option available on Bajaj Customer portal.
