Factors affecting Personal Loan Interest Rate

4 main factors that affect the interest rate of your personal loan are:

• Loan amount: The interest rate charged by the bank on your personal loan depends on the loan amount. Here is the interest rate for various personal loan amounts against jewels (non-agri):
• For a loan amount up to Rs.1 lakh, the interest rate charged is 12% p.a.
• For a loan amount of Rs.1 lakh to Rs.15 lakh, the interest rate charged is 12.25% p.a.
• For a loan amount of up to Rs.15 lakh, the interest rate charged is 12.50% p.a.

Use the personal loan EMI calculator to find out the monthly cost of your loan and based on the results, you can choose an affordable loan amount and loan tenure.

• Loan tenure: CUB personal loan is available for a repayment period of 1 year. Usually, lenders offer lower interest rates for a longer loan tenure and higher interest rates for a shorter loan tenure. The overall interest paid over a long tenure will be higher than the interest paid in a short tenure.
• Existing customers: CUB offers insta loans to customers. If you have an existing relationship with the bank, then you can negotiate with the bank officer for a better interest rate.
• Repayment capability: Banks usually have various eligibility criteria for approving personal loans. Since CUB personal loan against jewels is a secured loan, the income criterion may not be stressed upon. However, it is advisable to ensure you meet the minimum requirements expected by the bank to ensure your loan application is approved.

The other factors that affect personal loan interest rates include credit score and the nature of your job (self-employed or salaried).
