Personal Loan
Summary: Whether a medical emergency, your child’s higher education expenses or a wedding a personal loan always comes in handy in times of need. While today it is easy to obtain a personal loan, certain documents are mandatory for approval. An application for a personal loan without ITR or other critical documents has a higher chance of rejection. Read on to find out more.
A personal loan, from its application and approval point of view is one of the easiest solutions to look up to for urgent purposes such as a medical emergency or for other reasons like a wedding, vacation, a grand celebration, etc. Usually you do not need to inform the bank about the purpose of the personal loan.
However, you should know that the income documentation for a personal loan for salaried and self-employed people differs. While the salaried can get a instant personal loan based on salary slips and bank statements, an Income Tax Return (ITR) may be required for self-employed people. Hence, a self-employed individual cannot obtain a personal loan without ITR.
Let's explore a few steps self-employed individuals can take to get a personal loan without ITR.
A personal loan is an unsecured loan, which means you don't need to pledge any security or collateral to avail of it. However, if you are a self-employed person seeking a personal loan without ITR, you may opt for a secured loan.
When an individual offers security against a loan, the bank may waive the ITR requirement per the personal loan criteria. Banks don't lend the entire collateral value as a loan but calculate the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and arrive at the loan amount accordingly. For example, assume you have offered security worth Rs 5 lakhs, and the bank has an 80% LTV ratio. In this case, the maximum loan the bank can offer is Rs 4 lakhs.
The next step to getting a loan without ITR is to build and maintain a good credit score. Banks consider a CIBIL score of 750 and above a good score for any loan, including a personal loan. Beyond 750, the higher the CIBIL score, the better the chances of getting a personal loan without ITR.
A higher CIBIL score may also help you get a personal loan of a higher amount, and that too at a lower interest rate.
The bank goes beyond your CIBIL score when evaluating your loan application. They check your loan repayment history. If you have been making the entire monthly repayment (and on time), it shows you have good credit discipline; and banks prefer lending to such customers.
