Question

Q: What is a personal loan?

Answer

A:

A personal loan is a type of unsecured loan that individuals borrow from banks, NBFCs, or lenders for personal use. Unlike home or car loans, personal loans don’t require collateral or security.


Key Features:

  • Unsecured Loan: No need to pledge any asset.

  • Flexible Use: Can be used for various purposes like medical expenses, weddings, travel, debt consolidation, or education.

  • Fixed Tenure: Usually repaid in monthly installments (EMIs) over 1 to 5 years.

  • Interest Rates: Generally higher than secured loans because of increased risk to the lender.

  • Quick Disbursal: Many lenders offer fast processing, often within a few days.


When to Use a Personal Loan?

  • Emergency expenses like medical bills

  • Funding a large purchase or event

  • Consolidating high-interest debts

  • Home renovations or travel plans
