Personal Loan

Introduction

We all have needs and aspirations that remain unfulfilled due to the gap that exists between dreams and reality. And this is where a Personal Loan can help in making a difference in one’s life. No matter what your financial needs are - unexpected expenses, renovating your home, going on your dream vacation, buying your special someone that coveted gift, a medical exigency, school or college admission, wedding in the family, home improvement or you simply need to pamper your family with an extended vacation; whatever the occasion. These are the time when you may need a helping hand and that’s when you can bank on, a Personal Loan.

Personal loans should be last resort for borrowers looking to arrange money on an urgent basis and for those who do not have a security or collateral to offer.

Personal loan requires lower documentation and processing as compared to other loans such as home loan and hence, offers a quick turnaround for borrowers who are looking for urgent funds.

However, personal loans are unsecured (without any collateral) for banks and hence, carry a higher rate of interest compared to other loan products such as a car loan or home loan. Hence, the typical trade off while taking a decision to avail a personal loan is between paying a higher rate of interest vs. getting a loan sanctioned quickly with minimal paperwork and no collateral to offer.

Apply the personal loan together with a co-applicant who can be either your spouse or your parents. This way you can show a higher income and avail for a larger amount as the total loan is calculated on the sum total of the two incomes. The other way is to transfer your existing Personal Loan to a lower rate which would help you in reducing your existing monthly EMI which would in turn help you in getting a higher Fresh Loan. Lastly, you can also pre-pay your loans running loans where in limited number of EMIs are left in case Balance Transfer offer is not working out for you. The impact on your Loan Eligibility will be in proportion to EMI that can be reduced at your end.
