As of July 2026, personal loan rates start around 10.25% p.a. from leading private banks for salaried applicants with a CIBIL score of 750+. Typical approved rates range 10.25%–18% at banks and 14%–24% at NBFCs. WowCred compares 40+ lenders to find your personal lowest.
Most lenders allow total EMIs up to 50% of your net monthly income. Roughly, that means a personal loan of about 10–20× your monthly salary: a ₹50,000 salary with no other EMIs can typically get ₹6–10 lakh for 5 years. Use our free eligibility calculator for your exact number.
With complete KYC and income documents, personal loans are commonly disbursed within 24–72 hours. Pre-approved customers of partner banks can receive funds the same day. WowCred pre-checks your file so it moves through lender verification without bounce-backs.
