Factors Affecting HDFC Personal Loan Eligibility

A bank or financial institution provides different interest rates to different applicants owing to their eligibility to avail of a personal loan. The higher the interest rate, the more will be your loan EMI. This gravely affects personal loan affordability. Let us have a look at the various factors that influence the HDFC personal loan interest rate and eligibility criteria.

Age	The HDFC Bank does not provide loans to people below 21 years of age as they are considered risky borrowers to pay back the loan. People above the age of 60 are also not provided with the loan as they might not have a steady income.
Credit Score	Your credit score is maintained by the credit bureau and is an important indicator of your creditworthiness. A lower credit score might result in disapproval of your application or be approved with a higher interest rate.
Income	The higher your income, the lower the interest rate will be charged. Also, individuals with a high income are considered to be reliable and responsible for paying back the loan amount.
Repayment History	A good repayment history means that you have been disciplined with your loan EMIs and have paid them on time. This could get you a lower interest rate from the bank, and the bank can rely on you to pay back the amount.
Defaults	If the bank comes across any default in your credit report, it might ditch your loan application or charge you with a high-interest rate.
Relationship with the Bank	If you open more than one regular account like a savings account and fixed deposit in a single bank, then you are seen as a loyal customer. This interpersonal relationship can help you fetch an attractive rate of interest along with your application being approved.
