Pension Loans Overview

A financial emergency can come knocking on anyone’s door regardless of age. It may also be the case that you are facing a temporary financial crunch, and your pension is due next month. You can use your pension as leverage and opt for personal loans for senior citizens to meet current financial obligations or unforeseen expenses. You may also be staring at opportunities that needed to be capitalized on at that very time and will slide away if not seized with the aid of financial resources. We, at SMFG India Credit, want to debunk the myth that lenders are reluctant to offer loans to senior citizens, retired or older folk. We, at SMFG India Credit, are excited to partner with you to achieve your goals and objectives, and our enthusiasm to serve you will lessen in no degree irrespective of your age. The monthly pension acts as collateral and guarantee for a personal loan for pension holders. Many times, a guarantor is also required to pay off the remaining credit in case an unfortunate event like sickness or accident besets the pension holder, where the pensioner is unable to repay the loan. 

 

Personal Loan Eligibility

We, at SMFG India Credit, make personal loans, accessible to pensioners by listing down the bare minimum, transparent criteria to procure loans, which make a lot of pensioners with stable pensions eligible for our wide variety of loans: 

  • You must be a resident of India
  • Your age can be up to 65 years at the time of maturity of the loan.
  • Your monthly income/pension should not be less than Rs 20000 per month. However, if you reside in Delhi or Mumbai, your monthly income/pension should not be less than Rs 25000.

If you opt for a personal loan for pensioners at the age of 60, you are provided 60 months to repay the loan in full. Similarly, if you take a loan at the age of 63, you are proffered 24 months to repay the loan. The amount a pensioner is eligible can be 12 to 18 times the monthly pension that the pensioner is receiving or a predetermined amount decided by SMFG India Credit at the time of application of the loan, whichever is lower. So, if a borrower is getting Rs.50,000 as a monthly pension, the amount that can be borrowed is 6 lakhs to 9 lakhs. However, if the fixed amount is Rs 7 lakhs, the maximum he or she can borrow is 7 lakhs only.
