How can sixteen loan apps be run by only fourteen companies?

Because a brand name is marketing and a company is what is regulated. One registered entity can operate several consumer-facing apps: in this documented set, Aman Fincap Limited lent through both Paisa on Salary and Duniya Finance, and Ampire Finance Pvt Ltd lent through both SnapPaisa and F1 Speed Loan. A borrower who stops using one app can therefore still be lent to, and pursued by, the same company under another name. This is why any register check must use the operating company's name, never the app brand.

Is it legal for the same lender to give me two loans on the same day?

There is no blanket prohibition on a lender extending more than one facility to the same borrower. What the RBI's digital-lending and responsible-conduct norms do require is proper assessment of repayment capacity, full disclosure of the all-inclusive cost in a Key Facts Statement before each loan, and recovery only by lawful means. In the documented set here, two loans were disbursed to the same bank account roughly three hours apart on the same day. Whether that met the assessment standard is a question for the regulator, and this page makes no finding on it.

What is loan evergreening, and how would I know it is happening to me?

Evergreening is where a new loan is advanced largely to repay the previous one, so the borrower never actually exits — only the paperwork resets. The signs are a short tenure, an offer of a fresh or larger loan at or near the due date, and a balance that never falls despite payments. In this documented set, one lender's own counsel disclosed six loans to a single borrower across its two brands.

The grievance email on my loan app is a personal Gmail address. Does that matter?

It is not by itself unlawful, and it proves nothing on its own. What it does tell a borrower is something practical: check the operating company on the public register rather than trusting what the app displays. Across the entities in this set, the register records addresses and contact details that in several cases differ from those used in the companies' own correspondence. State the difference, check the register, and keep your complaint in writing.

Recovery agents are calling me. What do I do right now?

Keep every call log, recording, message and screenshot with dates and times. Put your dispute in writing to the lender's grievance officer and keep the dated copy. The RBI's conduct norms bar contact with your employer, family, friends or references, bar abuse and threats, and permit contact with you only between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Report the lender on RBI Sachet, escalate an unresolved complaint through cms.rbi.org.in after 30 days, and report threats or data misuse at cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930 without waiting.

I cannot see a way out. Where can I get help tonight?

Please talk to someone now. Tele-MANAS is free and staffed around the clock on 14416, and KIRAN on 1800-599-0019. Being unable to repay a loan is a civil matter — you cannot be jailed for it, whatever a recovery caller tells you. No loan is worth a life.

16 Apps. 14 Companies. One Debt Trap.

One salaried borrower took short-term loans from sixteen mobile apps. The apps trace back to just fourteen lender entities — and in several cases the same company lent twice, hours apart. This is what their own paperwork and the public register show.

A salaried borrower in Thane took short-term loans from sixteen mobile apps. When the money came due, the demands began — recorded phone calls, WhatsApp messages, and contact that reached beyond him.

This is not an accusation. It is what the companies' own loan documents, their own lawyers' replies, and the public register show when you line them up side by side.

One trap, wearing sixteen faces

The sixteen apps are operated by just fourteen lender entities. In several cases, one company ran the borrower through more than one brand.

Aman Fincap Limited lent through Paisa on Salary and Duniya Finance — two separate loans, disbursed into the same bank account roughly three hours apart on the same day (5 March 2026, 16:13 and 19:16 IST).
Ampire Finance Pvt Ltd lent through SnapPaisa and F1 Speed Loan. Its own counsel disclosed six loans to this one borrower across the two brands — four under SnapPaisa, two under F1 Speed Loan.
AGF Finlease (India) Limited is recorded in the file as operating six lending brands from a single NBFC.

The practical consequence for a borrower is simple and easily missed: leaving one app does not mean leaving the lender. The brand on the phone changes; the company on the agreement does not.

What their own Key Facts Statements say

Every figure in the table below is the lender's own disclosed APR, taken from the Key Facts Statement issued for that loan. These are not this site's calculations. Where this site has annualised the documented amounts itself, that figure appears only on that lender's own page, labelled as this site's calculation with the method shown.

App	Operating company	Net disbursed	Demanded back	APR stated in its own KFS
Paisa on Salary	Aman Fincap Limited	₹29,106	₹43,230	503.94%
Creditpey	Digner Fin-Lease & Investment Pvt Ltd	₹44,100	₹64,500	490.86%
Salary on Time	Kasar Credit & Capital Pvt Ltd	₹97,020	₹1,44,100	486.67%
DaytoDay Loan	Naman Commodities Pvt Ltd	₹66,150	₹97,500	486.67%
Everyday Loan	Goodskill Securities & Services Ltd	₹70,560	₹1,04,800	482.74%
Zepto Loan	Naman Finlease Pvt Ltd	₹90,000	₹1,31,000	464.78%
Fast Salary	Ramchandra Leasing & Finance Ltd	₹74,336	₹1,05,600	433.44%
SnapPaisa	Ampire Finance Pvt Ltd	₹94,100	₹1,31,000	423.87%
Duniya Finance	Aman Fincap Limited	₹1,08,215	₹1,52,950	420.3%
NextBigLoan	AGF Finlease (India) Limited	₹61,740	₹93,800	320.25%

A borrower who receives ₹29,106 and is billed at a disclosed rate above 500% a year has not taken an expensive loan. They have entered a structure that only works if it rolls over.

The arithmetic that makes it work is the same every time: a fee of roughly a tenth of the sanctioned amount is taken before the money arrives, so interest runs on funds the borrower never had the use of; the tenure is about a month; and the repayment demand lands 30 to 40 per cent above the sum advanced. The full side-by-side comparison is here.

The paperwork and the register do not always match

Comparing each entity's public-register record against what it uses in practice — a factual comparison, and nothing more:

Digner Fin-Lease (Creditpey) — the file records a three-way address difference between the register, the company's reply and its corporate address, and a personal Gmail address on the register record.
Goodskill Securities (Everyday Loan) — the register address differs from the address used in its reply, and the grievance contact is a personal Gmail address.
Kasar Credit (Salary on Time) — the borrower-facing grievance contact is a personal Gmail address.
Gagandeep Services (Dhanrishi) — the register record and the company's own reply are signed under differently-styled entity names.
Naman Commodities (DaytoDay Loan) — in its own reply, the entity behind the app stated that it is not an NBFC.

None of this establishes wrongdoing, and this page makes no finding either way. What it establishes is why a borrower cannot rely on what an app displays. The company named in your loan agreement is the thing that is regulated — search the Reserve Bank of India's own published list of NBFCs and ARCs registered with it, and its separate list of those whose certificate of registration has been cancelled, by company name. There is no search box on that page: download the spreadsheet and use your device's find function.

The recovery calls, recorded and dated

The following is documented conduct — recordings and message exports held on file, with dates.

7 April 2026 — a caller for Dhanrishi (Gagandeep Services Pvt Ltd) made a recovery call lasting 3 minutes 38 seconds. After being served notice, he acknowledged it in writing.
7 April 2026 — a caller for Fundoo Baba (U.Y. Fincorp Limited) made a recovery call lasting 5 minutes 17 seconds.
8 April 2026 — in a 38-minute message exchange, an agent for F1 Speed Loan (Ampire Finance Pvt Ltd) offered a fresh loan, twice declined to deal with the borrower's lawyer, and continued to demand payment after being told that a family member was in a medical emergency.

On 13 April 2026, a police complaint was made concerning the recovery side. That complaint contains allegations which have not been established and are not findings.

The offer of a fresh loan in the middle of a recovery call is worth pausing on. It is the mechanism of the trap stated out loud: the way out of this month's demand is next month's larger debt.

What the rules actually require

Whatever is owed, a regulated lender and the agents acting for it are bound by the RBI's conduct norms for non-banking financial companies and its digital-lending framework. In substance, they cannot contact you outside 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; cannot contact your employer, family, friends or references, or disclose your debt to them; cannot use abuse, threats or public shaming; and must disclose the all-inclusive Annual Percentage Rate in a Key Facts Statement before you borrow. Responsibility does not stop at a call centre — the regulated entity remains accountable for the conduct of the agents acting on its behalf.

And the thing recovery pressure is designed to make people forget: being unable to repay a loan is a civil matter. You cannot be jailed for it. Anyone who threatens you with arrest over a defaulted loan is applying unlawful pressure, whatever they claim to be.

If this is happening to you

Behind every one of these spreadsheets is a person. Debt harassment in India has pushed people toward self-harm. If you are in that place right now, you are not alone and it is not the end — Tele-MANAS is free and open 24×7 on 14416, and KIRAN on 1800-599-0019. No loan is worth a life.

These channels are free, official, and none of them requires you to pay anyone:

RBI Sachet — sachet.rbi.org.in — report a lender or an unlawful lending practice.
RBI Complaint Management System — cms.rbi.org.in — the Ombudsman, after raising your complaint with the lender's grievance officer and allowing 30 days.
National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal — cybercrime.gov.in — or call 1930 — for threats, blackmail, extortion or misuse of your phone data. Do not wait 30 days for this.
Sanchar Saathi / Chakshu — sancharsaathi.gov.in — report the harassing number itself.
Consumer commission — file online through e-Jagriti, the portal that replaced e-Daakhil.
Free government legal aid — NALSA and your State and District Legal Services Authorities, at nalsa.gov.in. This is a right under Article 39A, not a favour.

Keep everything: the Key Facts Statement, the bank entry showing what actually arrived, every call log and message. A complaint succeeds on documents.

Right of reply. Any company named on this page may respond, or seek a factual correction, by writing to grievance@loantrap.org. If a statement here is inaccurate we will check it against our source, and where we are wrong we will correct or remove it and publish the correction on this page with equal prominence, within 7 days.

Note on sourcing. The figures above are each lender's own disclosures in the Key Facts Statements issued for these loans, together with the companies' own written replies and the public register. Where this site has calculated a figure itself it is labelled as such on that lender's own page, with the method shown. Recorded calls and message exchanges are described from the recordings and exports held on file. Matters described as complaints or applications are allegations that have not been established. Nothing here is a finding against any party. The borrower is not named, and no borrower's personal details are published.
