UNDERSTAND THE TERMS

Personal loans in India

An unsecured personal loan usually spreads an individual expense across monthly instalments. The advertised starting rate is only a product reference: the lender’s assessment decides whether it will lend and on what terms. Check affordability before choosing an amount.

Start with the expense and your monthly budget

Write down the amount the expense actually requires. After essential bills, existing repayments and a buffer for unexpected costs, decide what monthly payment you could sustain. Do not increase the requested amount simply because a product advertises a higher limit.

What to compare

  • Compare the same principal and tenure across quotes. A lower EMI can come from a longer, more expensive repayment period.
  • Read the annual percentage rate (APR), processing fee, applicable taxes and other deductions. Ask for the amount that will reach your account.
  • Check whether the quote is a standard term loan or a flexi product with a different charging and repayment structure.
  • Read the conditions for part-payment, early closure and missed payments in the lender’s written documents.

Repayment risks to consider

An unsecured loan still creates a repayment obligation. Late payments can add charges and affect your credit history. Borrowing again to meet an existing EMI can increase the total burden; compare the complete cost before considering any refinancing.
