Peer to peer lending in India is becoming popular among those looking for newer investment avenues. As compared to the stock market or real estate, it offers balanced risk and returns. Basically, you can become a personal loan lender through peer to peer lending. There are several online peer to peer lending platforms such as LenDenClub, where you can lend money online.

All peer-to-peer lending (P2P) platforms would be treated as non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and will be regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), according to a government of India notification released on Wednesday. Bhavin Patel, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of LenDenClub, said: "This RBI regulation will bring much-needed legal clarity in the system, and lenders/platform will get legal rights to take adequate steps against defaulters. Also, regulation will mean wide acceptability of this concept among lenders as well as borrowers. This will fulfill RBI's expectation of taking P2P lending to the masses of this country."
