One can borrow up to Rs 2 lakh at an interest rate of 11.5 per cent and above Rs 2 lakh at 10.5 per cent.

"Loan Against Securities is yet another offering that lets mutual fund investors ringfence their investments during an emergency. Recent uncertainties fuelled by COVID-19 have highlighted the importance of cheaper pools of liquidity while staying consistent on investments," its Chief Executive Officer Gaurav Rastogi said in the release.

The funds are transferred into the user's bank account in less than two days, while their fund units remain secure with the respective fund houses.

The entire process is done digitally in less than three minutes and any additional fees are disclosed upfront, it said.

One can get loans even if they have bought a mutual fund from any other platform or broker by getting registered at Kuvera.in.

Founded in 2016, Kuvera.in is the country's first free-to-use web-based direct mutual fund investment platform.
