The gap nobody talks about
Getting a bank sanction is hard-won. Financial statements, collateral, credit history, months of back-and-forth — and finally, an approval letter with your name on it. It should feel like the finish line.
Instead, it's often just the start of a new wait. Banks can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to actually disburse sanctioned funds, depending on internal processing, documentation formalities, and their own queue. For a manufacturer with a client order on the line, or a trader who needs to move on a shipment, that wait isn't a paperwork inconvenience — it's a real cost.
What makes this different from speculative lending
We don't ask "what if your loan gets sanctioned." We ask "it's already sanctioned — now what do you need to not lose momentum." That's the entire basis of this product. Your bank has already done the hard underwriting work and put their name behind the decision. We're not taking a bet on your business — we're bridging a timing gap on a decision that's already been made by a regulated institution.

What we'll typically ask for
Keeping this simple and upfront — no surprise document requests midway through. Core essentials to start:
Depending on your specific case, we may also ask for: a current balance statement from the bank closing your existing loan, property documents (if offered as collateral), the sanctioning bank's document checklist, any other papers the sanctioning bank has requested from you, post-dated cheques, and guarantor details.
Frequently asked
What if my bank disburses before your bridge loan closes?
We structure repayment around your sanctioned disbursal — once your bank releases the funds, that closes our bridge loan. There's no penalty for your bank moving faster than expected.
Does this work with any bank or NBFC sanction?
Generally yes — we assess each sanction letter on its own merits. Share the details and we'll confirm quickly.
How fast can funds actually reach my account?
Our average is 72 hours from approval, since the funds come from our own capital pool — there's no third-party sourcing step slowing us down.
What if my sanction letter is only partially disbursed, not fully pending?
That's fine — we can structure a bridge against the remaining undisbursed portion. Share the details of what's been released and what's still pending, and we'll work out what fits.
Is my sanction letter enough, or what's the complete list of documents I need?
The sanction letter is the anchor, but we'll also need standard KYC, business registration proof, and recent bank statements — the core list on this page. Depending on your specific case, we may also ask for: a current balance statement from the bank closing your existing loan, property documents (if offered as collateral), the sanctioning bank's own document checklist, any other papers the sanctioning bank has requested, post-dated cheques, and guarantor details. We'll confirm exactly what applies once we understand your situation.
What happens if my bank's disbursal gets delayed further, or falls through entirely?
We'll talk through it directly with you if that happens — a further delay just means we discuss an extended timeline. This is exactly why we only bridge against a real, bank-approved sanction in the first place: the certainty is already established before we get involved.
Can I use this if my sanction is from a government scheme or subsidy-linked loan?
Standard bank or NBFC business loan sanctions are our core focus right now. Government scheme or subsidy-linked approvals involve different timelines and risk — reach out and we'll tell you directly whether your specific case fits.
Is there a minimum or maximum sanction amount you'll bridge against?
We typically work within the ₹10 lakh to ₹1.5 crore range. If your sanctioned amount falls outside that, reach out anyway — we'll tell you plainly whether it's something we can help with.
Do I need to be an existing Bokdia GroFin customer to apply?
No — this is open to any business with a genuine, bank-approved sanction letter, whether or not you've worked with us before.
Will taking a bridge loan affect my relationship with my bank or my credit profile?
A bridge loan is a separate, short-term arrangement with us — it doesn't alter your sanctioned loan terms with your bank. As with any credit facility, responsible, on-time closure is what protects your profile.
Do I need collateral to secure the bridge loan?
It depends on your specific case. Having property documents ready doesn't necessarily mean they're mandatory, but it does tend to speed up our assessment and approval process considerably.
