Salary needed for a ₹5 lakh personal loan

Before you apply
- Processing fee: usually 1%–3% of the loan plus GST — it raises the real cost above the quoted rate.
- Credit score: a score above 750 can bring the rate down by several percentage points.
- Shorter is cheaper: a longer tenure lowers the EMI but increases total interest a lot.
- Foreclosure: many lenders allow closure after 6–12 EMIs, often with a 2%–5% charge on fixed-rate loans.
- If you have FDs or a home loan, a loan against FD or a top-up home loan is often cheaper.
