A personal loan is an unsecured loan, which means that the borrower does not need to provide the bank with any security (ex. property, jewels). Personal loans can be taken for any purpose, be it for a holiday or a wedding expense.
Most banks and NBFCs offer personal loans up to Rs. 15 lakhs, which can be repaid over a period of up to 5 years. The loan amount you are eligible for and the
personal loan interest rate you will be charged are dependent on factors such as monthly income, employment history, residence history and credit history. Banks typically cap the monthly payment (EMI) on your loan to about 50% of your monthly take home income.
