Quick Summary
Bajaj Finance impersonation scams start with a call offering a 0% interest loan, a big approval or a pre approved limit. The caller then asks for Aadhaar, PAN and bank statements, often on a personal email, and pushes you to pay for insurance, processing or verification. Police in Delhi and Telangana have acted in cases linked to this pattern. Bajaj Finance says it never asks for advance payment before sanctioning a loan. This guide covers the tricks, real cases, red flags and reporting steps.
The phone rings, and a friendly voice says Bajaj Finance has pre-approved you for a loan at 0% interest. No fees, no interest, just a few documents.
Sounds like a gift, right? That feeling is exactly what Bajaj Finance impersonation scams are built on.
Before you share a single document, read on.
We show how these calls run, what police have found, and the small details that expose a fake offer.
What Are Bajaj Finance Impersonation Scams?
This section explains who is behind these offers and what they actually want from you.
It gives you the basic picture before we get into the step-by-step pattern, so the later sections make sense.
In these scams, someone with no connection to Bajaj Finance uses its name, its logo, and fake paperwork to offer loans that do not exist.
The paperwork exists only to make a stranger believe a loan has been approved.
The real goal is rarely a loan. The caller wants your identity documents, your bank details, or your money, and often all three.
Bajaj Finance has said that fraudsters use fake email IDs, fake domain names, and fake website links to lure prospective customers with false promises.
So the offer can reach you through a phone call, a WhatsApp message, or a lookalike website.
The story changes, but the ask stays the same.
How Does a Fake Bajaj Finance Loan Call Work?
Most reports follow the same path, even when the callers sound different.
This section breaks the path into four stages, in the order victims usually meet them.
Match each stage with what you are hearing right now.
1. The 0% Interest and No Charges Pitch
The hook is almost always an offer that sounds too generous.
Callers allegedly promise 0% interest loans, no processing fees or pre-approved credit, and present them as exclusive promotional deals.
One Reddit user described several calls over two days.
The callers said it was a select, invite-only offer, that banks share details of eligible customers, and that the call came from the head branch of Bajaj Finance in Delhi.
They also said local agents could visit to help with insurance and paperwork, and that many customers use the scheme to close existing loans through balance transfers.
The same poster said the callers mentioned 10 to 20-year tenures for a personal loan and promised disbursal 10 to 12 days after buying insurance.
When the poster questioned the offer, the callers said the website only shows standard products and that eligible customers receive separate documents.
The poster also wrote that some Bajaj employees had commented on Reddit that no such 0% personal loan product exists.
We cannot confirm that claim, so treat it as the poster’s report.
One victim account on our site describes a caller who tied a big loan to a life policy and collected ₹1,46,000 upfront.
No loan came, which is why 0% interest loan offers deserve a second look.
2. KYC Documents Sent to a Personal Email
Next comes a request for documents. Customers are told to complete KYC by sharing Aadhaar, PAN, and bank statements.
The Reddit poster was asked to email Aadhaar, PAN, and the last six months of bank statements for an eligibility check.
The caller said she had worked with the Bajaj Finance sales team for eight years, yet refused to share an official company email ID and insisted on a personal one.
She also repeated, “We’re not asking for OTPs, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
That line is meant to calm you down. Your documents can still be misused without an OTP.
The poster added a worry about this.
In their understanding, such documents can be used for identity theft, fraudulent applications, or future social engineering.
3. Insurance as the Price of the Loan
Then the insurance appears. In some cases, callers allegedly make an insurance purchase a condition for loan approval or disbursal.
They present the premium as an advance EMI, or as part of a 0% interest offer.
The Reddit poster was told to buy a policy worth roughly 5% or 10% of the loan amount before sanction.
The caller said the premium would count as the first few months of EMI.
That structure makes the payment feel like part of the loan, not a separate purchase.
You pay once, and the loan never follows.
4. Pressure to Sign Quickly
Finally, the pressure arrives. Some customers report being rushed into accepting terms and completing an auto debit mandate without time to read the loan agreement.
Hurry is part of the method.
A person who has time to read, ask, and compare rarely goes ahead.
When the Complaint Is About Charges and Repayment Terms
Not every complaint in this space involves a stranger.
Some borrowers say a loan really was disbursed, and the trouble showed up later in the charges.
This section lists those complaints as the borrowers describe them.
They are allegations, so read them as claims and not as findings.
- A larger loan than requested. One complainant alleged they asked for a smaller amount but received a much higher disbursal, even after questioning the approved figure.
- Charges nobody explained. Customers report discovering processing fees, annual maintenance charges, and insurance premiums that they say were not clearly explained before they agreed.
- Different repayment terms. One complainant alleged the loan carried more EMIs than expected, with insurance policies that raised the overall borrowing cost.
- Heavy foreclosure charges. Customers who later try to close the loan may find the charges high, which makes an early exit expensive.
- A long wait for a fix. One complainant said they followed up for two months before agreeing to an overdraft facility, and alleged that the salesperson had made false commitments.
Public posts cannot tell us whether a caller was an impersonator or a salesperson on a real loan.
Either way, the first step is the same.
Check the offer through Bajaj Finance’s official channels, and read every document before you sign.
Real User Complaints About Fake and Misleading Bajaj Finance Loan Offers
Three detailed posts give a ground-level view of how these offers feel from the receiving end.
We summarise each one in our own words and credit every claim to the person who wrote it.
None of these accounts have been independently verified.
1. A Quora User on a Loan With No Charges
A Quora user wrote that a caller offered a loan without charges, with interest only on the amount actually used.
It sounded harmless, so the user agreed to a loan of up to ₹5 lakh as a backup.
After the KYC process, the user received a message saying ₹18 lakh had been approved.
The user reminded the callers that only ₹5 lakh was requested, and was told it would be processed for ₹5 lakh first, with the rest pending.
The user says they were rushed into completing the auto debit mandate and accepting the terms without seeing the agreement.
Once they agreed, ₹18 lakh was disbursed, along with a processing fee of ₹22,000 and an annual maintenance charge of ₹5,500 that nobody had mentioned.
The user also wrote that closing the loan early would attract foreclosure charges of 4.72%, which comes to around ₹84,000 in their case.
They followed up for two months, then agreed to take an overdraft facility, and allege that the commitments made to them were false.
The user admitted they should have read the terms more carefully, and wrote the post as a warning for others.
2. A Reddit Post on a 0% Personal Loan Call
This post appeared on r/IsThisAScamIndia and is shown as four months old in the screenshot.
The title says a “Personal Loan at 0% interest rate” was offered by callers claiming to be from Bajaj Finance.
The poster described the red flags in the earlier sections, and ended with a plain conclusion.
There were far too many red flags to go ahead.
The poster advised readers not to email KYC documents to personal email IDs, and to verify any offer through Bajaj Finance’s official customer care or a branch.
They also asked whether anyone else had received a similar call.
3. A Reddit Post on a Father’s Personal Loan
This post appeared on r/LegalAdviceIndia and is shown as ten months old.
The poster said their father, aged 50, applied to Bajaj Finance for a personal loan of ₹50,000 to cover some wedding expenses for a relative.
According to the poster, the sales executive said the minimum loan amount was ₹1 lakh and convinced the father to take ₹1.35 lakh.
The father was told ₹13,000 would be deducted as processing fees, ₹1.22 lakh would be credited, and the EMI would be around ₹5,700 for 24 months.
The poster says the loan was sanctioned on 28 November 2025.
When they checked the loan details later, they found 39 EMIs of ₹5,716, not 24.
They also found two insurance policies added without a proper explanation, with premiums of ₹9,000 and ₹4,000.
By their calculation, the total loan amount rose to about ₹2.25 lakh, with an effective interest rate near 31%.
The poster said the loan was sold misleadingly and asked how to gather documents, how to raise a complaint against Bajaj Finance, and whether the matter can go to the RBI, a consumer forum, or a legal route.
4. Facebook Discussions on Fake Loan Offers
Users on Facebook have also shared experiences of allegedly being deceived and losing money.
Their posts describe fraudsters posing as company representatives, promising loans at attractive interest rates, and asking for advance payments or personal and banking details.
One post from The Voice of Sikkim, dated 25 January with the year not visible in the screenshot, said a person impersonating a Bajaj Finance loan representative over the phone duped a victim from Rangpo of ₹53,890.
Individual allegations on social media remain user-reported experiences unless they are independently verified.
We use them to show the pattern, not to prove any single case.
Police Cases and News Reports on Fake Bajaj Finance Loans
Police action is the clearest sign that these calls are organised and not random.
This section lists cases from newest to oldest.
Every case describes allegations made by police or reported by the press, and nothing here is a court finding.
1. Indore, October 2026
Two Indore residents were allegedly cheated out of ₹53,689 by cyber fraudsters posing as Bajaj Finance representatives, according to a report updated on 6 October 2026.
One victim was offered a ₹1 lakh loan.
After receiving fake ID cards, he paid ₹25,859 through seven QR codes sent on WhatsApp for processing charges.
When the loan did not arrive, he realised he had been scammed.
A second person lost ₹27,830 through multiple online transactions after being contacted by someone who claimed to represent Bajaj Finance Service.
The same report described a different scam that does not involve Bajaj Finance.
A victim lost over ₹24,000 to fraudsters posing as Myntra employees, who added him to a Telegram group called “Myntra E-commerce Working” and promised returns for completing online tasks.
He transferred ₹29,202 to a UPI ID, and ₹4,578 came back at first to build his trust.
The fraudsters then demanded another ₹60,000 to release the rest, and he reported the matter to the police.
2. Telangana Cyber Security Bureau, August 2026
The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) announced on 10 August 2026 that it had busted three call centres in Delhi.
The centres allegedly targeted people across Telangana with fake loan offers in the name of Bajaj Finance.
Police apprehended 21 Telugu-speaking women telecallers, aged 20 to 42, and a bank account holder.
Reports also describe three team leaders among the women, which makes 22 people in all.
Three alleged organisers remain absconding.
The network reportedly operated for about 18 months.
It offered attractive loan approvals and demanded money for processing, verification, documentation and insurance charges.
When victims questioned the payments or asked for refunds, the callers allegedly threatened them with legal action, reputational damage and misuse of their personal information.
Investigators linked the network to 22 cybercrime cases across Telangana and seized 23 mobile phones and two bank passbooks.
The investigation is ongoing to identify the organisers and trace the money.
The bureau advised people to verify loan offers independently and to avoid paying upfront charges without confirming the lender’s legitimacy.
3. Delhi Police Arrests, 2025
Delhi Police arrested two men, Pawan Kumar (36) and Mohd Rehbar (28), in 2025.
Police allege they posed as officials of Bajaj Finance and offered fraudulent loans.
According to a report published on 16 June 2025, the FIR was registered on 25 April.
In the reported case, the caller promised a ₹25 lakh loan and asked the victim to pay policy and processing fees.
No loan was disbursed, and unauthorised deductions of ₹1,92,599 appeared in the victim’s bank account.
Police said they were checking whether other victims were connected.
These are police allegations. Other cases in this article involve callers who remain unnamed.
4. Hyderabad, 2024
A 62-year-old businessman from Hyderabad allegedly lost ₹1,73,713 to fraudsters posing as Bajaj Finance representatives between 9 August and 3 November 2024.
The scammers offered a 0% interest loan against a ₹10 lakh insurance policy and asked him to submit an application for a life insurance company’s Guaranteed Pension Plan.
They first told him to transfer ₹80,000 to a bank account, and later demanded ₹56,050 for a health insurance policy to secure additional loan subsidies.
The payments kept coming. He was told he needed another two-year health policy because he was over 62.
The promised loan was never approved, and he approached the police.
What Bajaj Finance Says About Impersonation And Fake Loan Offers
The company has published its own warning, and it matches what borrowers describe.
This section lists what Bajaj Finance tells customers to do and avoid.
Keep it open on a second screen the next time an unknown caller mentions a loan.
Bajaj Finance says it and its representatives will not call for any advance payment before sanctioning a loan.
That covers processing fees and GST.
Its official email IDs contain “bajajfinserv.in”, and never a Gmail, Yahoo, or Rediff address.
Bajaj also asks customers to use its official website and its verified social media handles.
Its notice tells customers not to download remote access apps such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or QuickSupport when a third party asks.
Its representatives would also not ask you to download any app other than the genuine Bajaj Finance App.
The notice also says not to transfer money or approve a UPI collect request for a loan processing fee, GST, or advance fee.
Bajaj Finance gives 8698010101 for clarification on suspicious calls, and customers can also visit the nearest branch.
For fraud, the notice points to the cyber fraud national helpline.
On insurance, Bajaj Finance issued a separate caution in August 2021.
It said it does not require customers to make a compulsory purchase of any other product to avail a loan.
That caution described fraudsters who tell victims to buy life insurance first, keep them waiting with repeated delays, and stop responding after the policy’s free look period.
Bajaj also lists lookalike website addresses that fraudsters use, such as one missing the letter j and another with swapped letters.
It says to type the official address directly into the browser, not follow links from ads or messages.
If a call feels wrong, hang up first. Then work out how to check if a phone number is scam, and call back only on an official number you found yourself.
How To Tell If a Bajaj Finance Loan Is Real or Fake?
During a call, you rarely have time to weigh what you hear.
This table puts the lines callers use next to the reason each one deserves a pause.
Check the line you heard, then decide whether to continue.
|
What you hear on the call |
Why it deserves a pause |
|
“This is a 0% interest loan, only for selected customers.” |
An offer that sounds too generous should be checked on the official website or at a branch before you share anything. |
|
“Email your Aadhaar, PAN, and bank statements to this address.” |
Bajaj Finance says its email IDs carry the bajajfinserv domain, so a personal address is a warning sign. |
| “Buy this insurance first, and it will count as your EMI.” |
Bajaj Finance says it does not require any other product purchase to get a loan. |
| “Pay a small fee or scan this QR code for processing.” |
Bajaj Finance says it does not ask for advance payment before a loan is sanctioned. |
|
“We are not asking for OTPs, so there is nothing to worry about.” |
Your documents can still be misused for identity theft or fraudulent applications, even without an OTP. |
|
“Install this app so we can help you.” |
Bajaj Finance warns against remote access apps such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and QuickSupport. |
| “Sign now, there is no time to read the agreement.” |
Rushed auto debit mandates and terms are a common complaint in borrower posts. |
The same upfront fee trick runs through fake loan apps, where online personal loan frauds in India often begin with a small “processing fee” and end with the lender going silent.
Did you pay a processing fee for a Bajaj Finance loan that never arrived?
A complaint with the right documents works best when it goes in early, so file it on the cyber crime portal as soon as you can. If you want help sorting your papers and deciding the next steps, Register with us.
What To Do If You Shared Documents Or Paid Money?
The first few hours matter, because money moves quickly between accounts.
This section gives you an order to follow.
Most victims lose precious time working out what to do if online fraud happens, so start with step one and keep going.
- Stop paying and stop sharing. Do not send more money, documents, or OTPs, even if the caller threatens legal action.
- Call your bank. Ask to block UPI or card access linked to the payment.
- Save the evidence. Keep call numbers, WhatsApp chats, fake ID cards, QR codes, UPI IDs, receipts, and any insurance papers.
- Report. Call the national cybercrime helpline as soon as you notice, then file online on the cybercrime portal.
- Tell Bajaj Finance. Use the nearest branch or its number 8698010101, so the company knows its name is being misused.
- Watch your accounts. If you shared Aadhaar, PAN, or bank statements, keep an eye on your accounts and your credit record.
If you paid through a QR code or a UPI collect request, find out how to report UPI frauds right away, because that payment route has its own steps.
If you bought an insurance policy because of the call, read its free look terms and act before that window closes.
Also, if a loan was really disbursed and the charges surprised you, keep the loan agreement, sanction letter, fee receipts, and policy papers.
Then ask the lender in writing to explain the fees, the insurance, and the number of EMIs, and keep the reply.
Because this is loan fraud, it also helps to know how to report loan frauds in India, from the complaint itself to credit record disputes and an FIR if you are threatened.
Conclusion
Bajaj Finance impersonation scams depend on speed and politeness.
The caller gives you a generous offer, asks for documents, adds an insurance purchase, and hurries you past the fine print.
Police cases in Delhi and Telangana, and borrower posts across Quora, Reddit, and Facebook, show the same pattern again and again.
The safest habit is simple. Never pay anything before sanction, never send KYC papers to a personal email, and always verify the offer yourself on the official website, at a branch.
If you have already paid, report it without waiting.
Report. Recover. Stay Fraud Free.
