How to get a personal loan without PAN card?

16 Sep 2025 by Team FinFIRST

When you need urgent funds, a personal loan can be your go-to solution. However, most lenders require specific documents to process your loan application. A PAN card is one of the most requested documents because it helps verify your identity and maintain financial transparency. While some lenders accept alternate KYC documents like Aadhaar or voter ID, the process can be cumbersome and time-consuming.

IDFC FIRST Bank’s FIRSTmoney makes personal loan applications simpler and faster. By requiring only your PAN card, FIRSTmoney offers loans of up to ₹10 lakhs. The entirely digital process ensures a seamless borrowing experience, making it an ideal choice for those seeking quick cash.

Eligibility for a loan without a PAN card
 

Although some lenders allow personal loans without a PAN card, you may need to submit alternate documents such as:

  • Aadhaar card for identity verification.
  • Voter ID or passport as additional ID proof.
  • Income proof such as salary slips or bank statements, to establish financial stability.

The absence of a PAN card can result in longer processing times and stricter eligibility checks. This is because PAN cards are critical for verifying financial history and monitoring creditworthiness.

With IDFC FIRST Bank’s FIRSTmoney, the process is far more straightforward. You only need your PAN card as proof, eliminating the need for additional paperwork. Whether you need funds for an emergency, travel plan, or home renovation, FIRSTmoney offers instant approval and swift disbursal with minimal hassle.

Tips to apply for a loan without a PAN card
 

If you need to apply for a loan but do not have a PAN card, consider the following tips:

1. Research lenders
 

Look for lenders who accept alternate KYC documents like Aadhaar or voter ID to process your loan application.

2. Provide comprehensive documentation
 

Ensure you submit valid identity proof, address proof, and income proof for verification.

3. Build a good credit score
 

A strong credit score enhances your loan eligibility, even without a PAN card. Maintain timely repayments to improve your creditworthiness.

4. Maintain financial stability
 

Stable income and a low debt-to-income ratio can positively influence your application. Keep salary slips and bank statements ready as proof.

5. Choose trusted platforms

Apply with reputed lenders, known for their transparent policies and efficient processes.


While these tips may help, using your PAN card with FIRSTmoney simplifies the entire process significantly, allowing you to avoid unnecessary delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a personal loan without a PAN card?

It is possible in limited cases. Some lenders accept alternate KYC with Form 60 when PAN is unavailable, subject to risk policy and your income profile. Expect being asked for extra documents, in person verification, and slower timelines. Approval is not guaranteed and many lenders still prefer PAN for credit checks and tax reporting. If you do not have PAN, please call the lender first and confirm whether they currently allow such applications.

What other documents can I use instead of PAN?

You can use an Officially Valid Document such as Aadhaar, passport, voter ID, driving licence, or NREGA job card, along with recent bank statements, payslips or income tax acknowledgements. A utility bill can sometimes help. Lenders may also ask for employment proof, photographs, and a signed application. Requirements vary by lender and profile. Keep originals ready for in person verification since paper-based journeys usually involve manual checks and attestation.

Is PAN mandatory for personal loan by IDFC FIRST Bank?

Yes, to get a FIRSTmoney personal loan by IDFC FIRST Bank, you need your PAN number for the application and your physical PAN card to be displayed during the video KYC.

Will the personal loan process take longer without a PAN card?

Often yes. Without PAN, lenders may rely on Form 60 and additional KYC, then run more manual verifications, which extends processing time. Field visits, phone checks, and bank statement analysis are common in such cases. Digital pre-approvals are less likely. Prepare all documents in advance and respond promptly to information requests. Timely, complete paperwork reduces back and forth and can shorten the process even when PAN is not available.

Can I use Aadhaar instead of PAN for personal loan?

Aadhaar is an Officially Valid Document and proves identity and address. Many lenders still need PAN or Form 60 for bureau pulls, underwriting, and tax compliance on interest reporting. If you lack PAN, ask if Form 60 is acceptable and whether any limits apply. Carry Aadhaar along with other OVDs, payslips, and bank statements. In practice, Aadhaar alone rarely replaces PAN for personal loans, especially in digital onboarding journeys today.

How do I apply for a personal loan without PAN?

Start by confirming the lender policy. If they permit loans without PAN, complete Form 60 truthfully. Provide OVDs like Aadhaar, passport, voter ID, driving licence, or NREGA job card, plus payslips, bank statements, and employment details. Be ready for in person KYC and manual checks. Visit a branch with originals and copies so the file can move smoothly. Keep communication clear and respond to any queries.
