Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are needed for personal loan?
Identity proof (Aadhaar/PAN), address proof, income proof (3 months salary slips for salaried, ITR for self-employed), bank statements (6 months), and photographs.
Can I get a personal loan with low CIBIL score?
Most banks require minimum 700-750 CIBIL score. Some NBFCs offer loans for scores as low as 650 at higher interest rates (18-24%). Improve your score before applying for better rates.
What is the fastest way to get a personal loan?
Digital lenders and fintech apps offer instant approval and disbursal within hours. However, compare interest rates carefully as convenience often comes at a higher cost.
Should I take a personal loan or use credit card?
Personal loans have lower interest rates (10-15%) vs credit cards (36-42%). For large expenses over 6+ months, personal loan is cheaper. For short-term needs, credit card's interest-free period may be better.
Can I prepay my personal loan early?
Yes. RBI has banned prepayment charges on floating-rate personal loans from 2026. Fixed-rate loans may have 2-5% charges. Always check your loan agreement for specific terms.
What is a good EMI-to-income ratio?
Banks prefer EMI-to-income ratio below 40-50%. If your total EMIs (all loans) exceed 50% of monthly income, you may face difficulty in loan approval or managing finances.
