Loan Account Statement

Definition

A Loan Account Statement is an official document issued by a lender that provides a detailed record of all transactions, repayments, interest charges, outstanding balance, and other activities related to a borrower’s loan account.

What is a Loan Account Statement?

A Loan Account Statement is a comprehensive financial document provided by a bank, NBFC, or other lending institution that shows the complete history and current status of a borrower's loan. It records every financial transaction associated with the loan, including loan disbursement, EMI payments, interest charged, principal repaid, penalties (if any), prepayments, and the remaining outstanding balance.

Borrowers can use the statement to track their loan repayments, verify that EMIs have been credited correctly, monitor the outstanding amount, and identify any overdue payments or additional charges. It also serves as an important document while applying for another loan with banks or RBI-registered NBFCs or lending platforms like Kissht, filing taxes (for eligible loans such as home loans), resolving payment disputes, or maintaining personal financial records.
