Eligibility Criteria
See the basic conditions normally checked before you can apply.
Eligibility Criteria - Indian Market Baseline
Basic
- Resident Indian / Indian citizen as required by lender.
- Minimum age usually starts at 21 years.
- Maximum age is lender-specific and should be checked at loan maturity; traditional bank products commonly cap around 58-60, while some NBFC instant-loan products allow a substantially higher maturity age.
- Salaried and/or self-employed profile, depending on lender.
- Stable, verifiable income and sufficient repayment capacity.
- Active bank account in applicant's name.
- Valid mobile number, PAN and KYC.
- Serviceable PIN code / city.
Credit
- CIBIL / bureau check is normally part of underwriting.
- A score around 650 may qualify with some NBFCs; 700+ is a safer portal pre-screen preference for broader lender matching.
- Existing overdue/defaults, very high EMI obligations, recent write-offs or fraud flags can lead to rejection even if the score meets the cut-off.
Income / employment
- Minimum income varies strongly by lender and city. Major personal-loan portals show examples around Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000 monthly for salaried borrowers, but this must remain lender-configurable.
- Salaried applicants commonly need stable employment; 1-2 years total work history is a useful pre-screen field.
- Self-employed applicants may need business/profession continuity and ITR/financial proof.
