How do I get a Personal Loan with the lowest interest rate in Kolkata?

Most people prefer to apply for personal loans in the banks where they maintain their salary accounts, as the approval process becomes a lot easier. While it can be considered as an option for quicker sanctioning of loans, comparing and choosing the best suited loan is most desirable. Your personal loan eligibility is affected by numerous factors which can also have an effect on the interest rates offered to you. So if you plan to avail a personal loan at a low interest rate, here are some of the key areas you need to look upon:

Credit score: Make sure that you maintain a good credit score before applying for a personal loan. A good credit score increases your chances of getting an unsecured personal loan, which may even come as pre-qualified loans. Generally, a credit score 750 is considered satisfactory for availing personal loans.
Make a down payment: Paying out a significant portion of the loan amount is likely to reduce your premiums to a considerable scale. Any amount above 20% of the loan value, paid upfront, will positively impact the interest rates on your loan.
Debt-to-income ratio: Debt-to-income-ratio is a measure of the individual’s ability to repay the personal loan. It is a key determinant of your eligibility for personal loans. Ensure that you have a steady debt-to-income ratio before approaching a bank or NBFC for personal loans.
Loan comparison: Optimizing the use of financial portals such as BankBazaar will help you when shopping around for loans offering the best interest rates. The BankBazaar website compares the loan interest rates of all its partner banks and makes it easier for customers choose the best suited product.
Tenure: The loan tenure has a direct impact on the interest rates charged on your personal loan amount. Therefore, choosing a short tenure will give you less interest rates and vice versa.
Employment status: Your employment also has a role to play in the approval of your personal loan. Banks take into account your work experience and the details of your employer while reviewing the loan application. So if you work for a company listed with the bank, you have higher chances of getting personal loans for a discounted interest rate.
Personal loan negotiation: It’s a known fact that most people settle for the interest rates offered by the bank. But to avail better rates of interest, negotiation is an imperative. So if you are someone applying for a loan at a bank where you holding your salary account, then you have higher chances of making a negotiation.
