A Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Working Group on digital lending, which includes lending through online platforms and mobile apps, has found out that more than 600 illegal loan apps are operating in India. Most of these apps, used to cheat innocent people, are available on several app stores for Android users in the country, the working group said in a report. While trying to prepare a detailed report on digital lending app in India, the working group found out the existence of over 1,100 loan apps, which could be searched through keywords such as loan, instant loan, and quick loan. All of these apps were available across 81 app stores from January 1, 2021, to February 28, 2021, according to the working group.
