  • Loan eligibility for salaried employees depends on factors such as age, salary and work experience.
  • Personal loans to self-employed professionals like charted accountants, doctors and businessmen are classified as business loans.
  • EMIs of existing loans can reduce the eligibility for getting a new personal loan.
  • Transfer existing loans to lower rates and reduce your EMIs. This will increase your eligibility for a new personal loan.
  • The company you work for impacts your loan eligibility. Working with a well-established firm affects it positively.
  • Banks prefer borrowers with credit score of above 650.
