Salary Requirements & Minimum Income Criteria for Unsecured Personal Loans
Because personal loans lack collateral, your net monthly salary is the primary benchmark lenders evaluate to determine approval limits.
City-Wise Minimum Salary Thresholds:
- Metro Cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai): Minimum ₹25,000 to ₹35,000 net monthly salary.
- Tier-2 & Tier-3 Cities: Minimum ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 net monthly income.
Multipliers Used by Banks
Lenders typically cap maximum personal loan eligibility at 10x to 20x of your net monthly salary, provided your existing EMI obligations do not exceed 50% of your income.
