What are the eligibility criteria for a personal loan?

The eligibility criteria for a personal loan vary among financial institutions, but most follow a standard set of requirements.

Below are the general eligibility criteria that you may need to adhere to for a personal loan application:

  • Age: You should be within the age range specified by the lending institution, usually between 21 and 60 years old.
  • Income: Having a steady source of income from employment or self-employment is essential.
  • Credit Score: A good credit score, typically above 750, reflects your creditworthiness and improves your chances of loan approval.
  • Debt-to-Income Ratio: A low debt-to-income ratio demonstrates your ability to manage loan repayments effectively.
  • Employment Stability: Financial institutions prefer applicants with a stable employment history, indicating their ability to maintain a steady income.
  • Citizenship or Residency: Lending institutions may require applicants to be citizens or permanent residents of the country where the loan is being sought.

Ensure you meet your chosen NBFC or bank's specific eligibility criteria and prepare the necessary documents to streamline your personal loan application process.

A well-prepared application demonstrates your commitment to financial responsibility and allows lending institutions to make informed decisions about your creditworthiness.
