AI Voice Agent for EMI & Loan Reminder Calls in India
An AI voice agent can run EMI reminder calling as a campaign: upload your due-list, set a calling window around the due date, and the agent works through it with automatic retries — logging every outcome (interested, not interested, callback requested) to your dashboard. It's not a background system that watches individual due dates and fires automatically — you run the campaign on the schedule you choose, same as any other calling campaign.

Why English-only IVR loses Tier 2/3 borrowers
Most collections IVR setups offer English plus one Hindi option. A large share of Tier 2/3 borrowers speak a different regional language, or a regional dialect the standard Hindi option doesn't cover — they hang up on a menu they don't follow, and the reminder never lands. A conversational agent that speaks the borrower's language, and can actually answer "how much do I owe" or "can I pay Friday instead," closes that gap without adding headcount to a collections team.
How EMI reminder calling actually works
Four steps, run each billing cycle:
Upload your due-list
Export borrowers due in the next cycle from your LMS as a CSV — name, phone, amount due, due date. Map the fields to your call script once; reuse the mapping every cycle.
Set your calling window
Choose a start/end date range (e.g. 3 days before due date through the due date) and a daily calling window in IST. Calls only go out inside that window, every day of the campaign.
Automatic retries
If a borrower doesn't pick up, the agent retries on a cooldown you set — no manual re-dialing, no missed follow-ups because someone forgot to call back.
Every outcome logged
Each call is classified (interested, not interested, callback requested, no response) and recorded with a transcript, so your team can see who intends to pay, who needs a human follow-up, and who didn't answer — all in the dashboard.
What happens when a borrower says they'll pay
The agent confirms the amount due and asks about payment intent — the outcome is logged using Vyora's standard call classification (interested, not interested, callback requested, no response), so your collections team can see who's confirmed, who needs a human follow-up, and who didn't answer, without listening to every call.
For the payment itself, the agent sends a link via WhatsApp or SMS through your existing payment gateway — it does not read out or collect card numbers, CVV, or bank account details on the call. See the full reasoning in our payment info on AI calls guide.
Compliance: whose responsibility is what
RBI's Fair Practices Code and debt-collection guidelines apply to your institution as the lender, the same way TRAI consent and calling-hour rules apply to whoever places the call — not to Vyora as the calling platform. What Vyora gives you: a calling window you control so calls only go out during permitted hours, full call recording for dispute resolution, and an agent designed to de-escalate and hand off to a human on request. We don't claim RBI or DRA certification for Vyora itself — that compliance responsibility sits with your institution, same as it would with an in-house or outsourced calling team. For the general TRAI framing, see our AI calling compliance guide for India.
Frequently asked questions
Does Vyora automatically call borrowers a set number of days before their due date?
You control this at the campaign level, not per individual borrower. You upload your due-list and set the campaign's date range and daily calling window (for example, starting 3 days before your EMI due date through the due date itself) — the agent works through the whole list within that window each cycle. It's not a background engine that watches individual due dates and fires automatically; you run the campaign against your list on the schedule you choose.
Can the agent tell if a borrower intends to pay?
The agent asks about payment status on the call, and the outcome is logged using Vyora's standard call classification (interested, not interested, callback requested, no response) — so your team can see, at a glance, who confirmed they'll pay, who needs a human follow-up call, and who didn't answer. It isn't a dedicated "payment promise" field, but the same classification system used across every Vyora agent.
Is this compliant with RBI's Fair Practices Code for collections?
RBI's Fair Practices Code and DRA guidelines apply to your institution as the lender, not to Vyora as the calling platform — the same way TRAI consent rules apply to whoever is making the call. What Vyora gives you are the tools to stay within those guidelines: a calling window you control (so calls only go out during permitted hours), full call recording for dispute resolution, and a de-escalation-first agent design. We don't claim RBI or DRA certification for Vyora itself; that compliance responsibility sits with your institution, same as it would with a human collections team.
Does the agent read out bank account or card details for EMI payment?
No. The agent confirms the amount due and sends a payment link via WhatsApp or SMS through your existing payment gateway — it doesn't collect or read out card numbers, CVV, or bank details on the call. See our full breakdown of why spoken payment capture is a compliance risk in the payment-info guide linked below.
What languages can the EMI reminder agent speak?
Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, and Gujarati. For most Indian lenders, Hindi alone covers the bulk of a Tier 2/3 borrower base that an English-only or English-plus-one-Hindi-option IVR misses.
What does it cost to run EMI reminder calls?
Calling costs 15 credits per minute regardless of use case. The Builder plan starts at ₹799/month for 1,700 credits (about 113 minutes); credits never expire, and you can top up mid-cycle if a large due-list needs more minutes than your plan includes.
