Eligibility Criteria to Get a Small Personal Loan

You need to meet the basic eligibility criteria below to be eligible for a personal loan. You can use a personal loan eligibility checker to verify the same.

  • You should be a citizen of India.
  • The minimum age to apply for a small personal loan is 22 years (25 if you’re self-employed).
  • The individual needs to be self-employed or have a certain kind of income.
  • The age of the customer at the time of maturity of the loan should be less than 65 years.

Factors Affecting Small Loan Eligibility

When applying for a small personal loan, lenders assess several factors to determine your eligibility. Here are the key aspects that influence your loan approval:

1. Credit Score

A higher credit score – typically 750 or above – indicates strong creditworthiness, improving your chances of approval with better interest rates. Conversely, a lower score may result in higher interest rates or even the rejection of your loan application.

2. Monthly Income

Lenders evaluate your monthly income to ensure you can comfortably manage EMIs. A stable and sufficient income reassures lenders of your repayment ability. Generally, higher income levels (and low existing debts) can lead to better loan terms and access to higher loan amounts.

3. Employment Status

Salaried individuals with steady employment are usually considered lower risk. Self-employed applicants are also eligible, but they may need to provide additional documentation – such as CA-audited financials for the past 2 years – to verify income stability and repayment capacity.

4. Relationship with Lender

Having an existing account or a strong repayment history with a financial institution can improve your chances of approval and may qualify you for preferential interest rates on a small personal loan.
