SELF-EMPLOYED · NO ITR REQUIRED
Most banks ask for three years of ITR before they'll even look at your application. If you run a shop, a kirana store, or any small business where your real income doesn't show up neatly on paper, that rule shuts you out — even when you can clearly afford the EMI. Nivāsa works with lending partners who assess self-employed borrowers on actual cash flow, not just filed returns.
How We Assess You
A shop owner in a Nivāsa serviceable town had no ITR on record. 18 months of bank statements showing steady daily deposits, plus a trade licence and two years at the same shop address, carried the approval where a bank's standard form would have stopped at "ITR: none."
