Select your industry vertical below to see how our location checks integrate into retail lending, gold loans, and property underwriting.

Retail, MSME & Gold Loan Onboarding

Lending, NBFCs & Fintechs

Verify customer geolimits before onboarding, screen against internal delinquency negative areas, and automate NHB/RBI compliance reporting.

Key Impact
Instant OGL & Delinquency Screening

OGL (Out of Geo Limit) Check API

Check if an applicant resides within the serviceable limit (geolimit distance) from the onboarding branch to decide onboarding eligibility.

Production-Proven API

Delinquency Negative Area Check

Screen applicants against client-defined negative areas built from historical delinquency and internal NPA account holder clusters.

Production-Proven API

Urban/Rural Check (NHB & RBI)

Classify whether a customer resides in an urban or rural area as defined by the National Housing Bank for regulatory compliance.

Our 5 Core BFSI Location APIs

Precise customer geolimit verification, delinquency containment, statutory NHB classification, NDMA disaster underwriting, and structured address hygiene.

Serviceable Limit Verification

OGL (Out of Geo Limit) Check API

API to check whether a customer resides within the serviceable limit (geolimit distance) from the branch he or she has applied to or is being onboarded at. Assists institutions in instantly deciding whether to onboard the applicant or decline unserviceable requests.

  • Real-time distance calculation against branch-specific geolimit radiuses (e.g. 15 km)
  • Clear binary verdict: Within Serviceable Limit (Eligible) vs. Out of Geo Limit (Blocked)
  • Prevents unserviceable operational commitments before field verification costs

Negative Area Check API

API to check whether a customer resides in a negative area or not. A negative area is defined by the client based on their delinquency or internal NPA account holders.

  • Real-time PostGIS polygon containment against client-defined high-risk zones
  • Secure institutional isolation for proprietary NPA and delinquency shapefiles
  • Stops bad loan originations before costly physical field inspections
NHB & RBI Compliance Reporting

Urban / Rural Check API

API to check whether a customer resides in an urban or rural area as defined by the National Housing Bank (NHB). This API is used for classifying loans for statutory compliance reporting to NHB and RBI.

  • Classifies addresses directly against official National Housing Bank (NHB) criteria
  • Used by banks and housing finance companies for mandatory NHB & RBI reporting
  • Generates timestamped statutory verification certificates for inspection audits

NDMA Hazard Atlas Ground Truth

Disaster Zone Check API

API to check whether a property lies in a disaster-prone zone or not, assisting clients in underwriting and collateral risk evaluation. Disaster types, zones, and intensity values are taken directly from the official NDMA (National Disaster Management Authority, GoI) Natural Hazard Atlas.

  • Official NDMA hazard maps for floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and landslides
  • Returns standardized disaster types, zone categories, and official intensity values
  • Enables objective risk pricing and collateral loan-to-value (LTV) calibration
Precision Spatial Resolution

Forward & Reverse Geocoding

Convert physical addresses into precise coordinates and translate GPS points back into verified, structured postal addresses. Powers automated branch distance calculations (OGL), confirms customer physical presence, and eliminates address ambiguity across loan and policy origination.

  • Forward Geocoding: Converts text addresses, landmarks, and postal codes into precise latitude & longitude
  • Reverse Geocoding: Translates live GPS coordinates into standardized, structured postal addresses
  • Validates physical presence, detects address spoofing, and feeds automated OGL checks

Frictionless Onboarding & Risk Decisioning

A seamless three-step journey that embeds directly into your existing Loan Origination Systems (LOS) and underwriting engines.

01Step 1: Intake & Geocoding

Geocoding & Location Resolution

The applicant's address or live GPS coordinates are resolved into precise geolocations using Forward & Reverse Geocoding to establish verifiable physical presence.

> Forward & Reverse Geocoding APIs
02Step 2: Verification

OGL & Negative Screening

In real time, the engine checks whether the applicant is within the branch serviceable geolimit (OGL) and verifies that the address does not fall in a client delinquency area.

> OGL Check & Delinquency Geofence Screening
03Step 3: Outcome

Compliance & Underwriting

The application is tagged with National Housing Bank (NHB) urban/rural classification for statutory reporting and screened against NDMA hazard zones for underwriting.

> NHB/RBI Tagged & NDMA Hazard Assessed

Frequently Asked Questions

Compliance & Integration Answers

The OGL Check API evaluates whether an applicant resides within the serviceable limit (geolimit distance) from the specific branch where they applied or are being onboarded. If an applicant is located beyond the permitted geolimit radius (e.g., outside 15 km), the API flags them as Out of Geo Limit. This assists the financial institution in deciding whether to approve onboarding or avoid deploying field operations for unserviceable locations.
