Factors affecting Karnataka Bank Personal loan interest rates

When a bank offers a personal loan, they first take a few things into check like CIBIL Score, history of repaying loan, whether you’re a defaulter or not etc. so that they can get a better understanding over the candidate's profile before they issue the loan amount. The main factors are in-depth described below:-

• CIBIL Score/ Credit Score

Credit Score plays a vital role in determining the candidate's creditworthiness for issuing the loan amount. It reflects the overall financial health of the candidate in terms of Income, past repayment history, remaining debt etc.  Banks usually consider a credit score of 750 a good score. The implication is that they can trust you with such a financial responsibility and even help you get a loan at a lower interest rate.

• Income

This is one of the most crucial factors in the bank's decision to issue a loan to you. Suppose you are a person who generally saves more and has a high disposable income. In that case, you’ll be able to repay the loan amount without bothering the bank much, so they’ll issue you the loan amount even with lesser interest rates.

• Status of Employer

One of the most important factors banks look for regarding the creditworthiness of the candidate's profile is personal loans are unsecured. This is so because when you get hired by a well-renowned organisation, they have a good reputation which suggests that you’ll repay the bank in good times.

• Relationship which involves the Lender

This relationship survives because of the nurturing quality of both the entities as they have been dependent on each other for so long and have gained mutual trust during the process.

• Debt-Income Ratio

The debt payments are divided by the total income. Banks consider it an important part of calculating your candidature even if you’re part of a large renowned organisation. Still, you already have previous debt yet to be paid back. There is a huge burden over your pocket, which they settle by charging a higher interest rate. 

• Default’s History

They consider it a last check over your candidature as if there is a standing history of you which reflects you as a defaulter. The bank might charge higher interest on the loan amount or can even reject your application for a loan.
