Mobile loan interest rates in India fall under the personal loan category and hence, start from a very low 13%* per annum only. This makes it highly attractive and affordable for everyone wishing to make the purchase. However, the final loan interest rate per annum will be decided by the lending institution according to your eligibility, and the loan terms at the time of application.
| Loan Amount | Up to INR 30 lakhs* |
| Interest Rates | Starting from only 13%* per annum |
| Processing Fee | Up to 3.75% of the total loan amount + GST |
| Loan Prepayment Charges | Up to 7% of loan amount |
| Repayment Tenure | From 12 to 60 months |
The EMI that one has to repay to the lending institution depends on factors like loan amount, tenure, and interest rate.
EMI on personal loan for mobile = P*R*(1+R)^N/[(1+R)^(N-1)]
Here, the alphabet P refers to the principal loan amount borrowed, R is the interest rate per month, and N is the number of months. However, instead of manually calculating the EMIs, take the help of SMFG India Credit's online EMI calculator for personal loans. For example, a loan for INR 2 lakhs taken at 13% interest rate can be repaid within 36 months through EMIs of INR 6642.
