Step-by-Step Guide
Segment Your Loan Portfolio by DPD
Separate borrowers by Days Past Due (DPD) - 1–30, 31–60, 61–90, and 90+. Each bucket requires a different tone, channel mix, and escalation path. Build your segmentation rules before configuring the agent.
Configure RBI Compliance Guardrails
Set call windows (8am–7pm per RBI DLG norms), mandatory agent identification disclosures, DNC list checks, call recording rules, and opt-out handling. Compliance is configured before any call is made.
Design the Multi-Touch Recovery Sequence
For DPD 1–30: Day 1 (voice), Day 3 (WhatsApp), Day 7 (voice + SMS). For DPD 31–60: Daily voice attempts for 5 days, then escalate to human recovery officer. Map the exact cadence for each segment.
Build the Promise-to-Pay Module
When a borrower commits to a payment date, the AI captures the PTP, logs it to your core banking system, and schedules an automated reminder 24 hours before the committed date - then confirms payment or re-triggers recovery.
Integrate with Your Core Banking System
Connect to your CBS or LMS via API. The agent reads overdue amounts, loan IDs, and borrower contact details in real time - and writes back call dispositions, PTPs, and escalation flags without any manual intervention.
Monitor, Audit, and Optimize
Review weekly recovery rate by DPD bucket, channel response rates, and PTP fulfilment rate. All call recordings and dispositions are stored for regulatory audit. Tune scripts and timing based on real performance data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the system compliant with RBI's Digital Lending Guidelines?

How does the AI handle a borrower who disputes the outstanding amount?
