How To Check Your Personal Loan Eligibility?

Are You Eligible?

Let's Find Out.

Before applying, it’s important to review the loan eligibility criteria to see if you qualify. These usually include factors like age, income, employment type, work experience, and credit history. Once you’ve checked the basics, use Hero FinCorp’s online calculator to quickly check loan eligibility and find out the exact amount you are eligible for.

Here is a stepwise process to check your eligibility for a personal loan:

  1. Go to the Loan Eligibility Calculator on our website.
  2. Enter the current EMI obligations, monthly income, and loan tenure in the online tool to check personal loan eligibility.
  3. Once entered, you'll see your eligible loan amount, EMI, and maximum repayment tenure options.
  4. Apply for the Personal Loan right away.

How Is Personal Loan Eligibility Calculated?

Credit bureaus and lending institutions calculate your eligibility for a Personal Loan based on several factors, including age, credit history, income, financial obligations, geographical location, housing situation, etc. If you fulfil our Personal Loan eligibility criteria, we may calculate your Personal Loan amount eligibility using any of these two methods:

Multiplier Method.

 In this method, we calculate your Personal Loan salary amount based on a predetermined multiple of your net monthly income.

FOIR (Fixed Obligations to Income Ratio).

We assess your repayment capacity using this method to check your Personal Loan eligibility. We consider your fixed expenses, including your existing EMIs, and subtract them from your monthly income. The formula is:
FOIR = (Sum of Current Obligations/Net Monthly Salary) x 100
Your debt-to-income ratio should be at most 40% to obtain a loan with favourable terms and rates.

Factors Affecting Personal Loan Eligibility Criteria.

Several factors determine your Personal Loan eligibility and EMI. Understanding them can help you plan better and manage repayments smoothly.
 

  • Age: Your age reflects earning potential and repayment ability. Hero FinCorp accepts applicants between 21 and 58 years.
     
  • Income: Higher income improves approval chances and reduces lending risk. A minimum monthly income of Rs 15,000 is required for a Personal Loan.
     
  • Credit Report: Your credit report reveals repayment habits and past defaults. A credit score of 700 or more improves your loan approval chances.
     
  • Employer Status: Working for a reputed company or government organisation ensures job stability, timely income, and a stronger loan eligibility profile.
     
  • Employment Stability: Frequent job or business changes affect eligibility. Stable employment increases approval chances for both salaried and self-employed applicants.
     
  • Debt-to-Income Ratio: A debt-to-income ratio below 50% is ideal. Excessive existing debts reduce approval chances, regardless of high income.

How to Improve Your Eligibility for Personal Loan?

If your personal loan eligibility is low, don’t worry. You can take simple steps to improve it and increase your approval chances.

  • Opt for Longer Repayment Tenure: Choosing a longer repayment tenure reduces monthly EMIs, making payments manageable and improving your loan eligibility significantly.
     
  • Show Alternative Income Sources: Disclose additional income from rent, investments, or part-time work. Additional income strengthens your profile and improves loan eligibility.
     
  • Avoid Multiple Loans: Avoid applying for loans with several lenders. Multiple applications hurt your credit score and reduce loan approval chances.
     
  • Improve Your Credit Report: Pay EMIs and clear outstanding debts on time. A good credit score boosts eligibility and supports future loan approvals.
     
  • Add a Co-applicant: Including a co-applicant with stable income enhances eligibility, increases approved loan amount, and helps secure favourable loan terms.

I borrowed Rs 4 lakh for home renovation and had a great experience. The approval was instant, and everything was done digitally. What impressed me most was the clarity — all charges, interest rates, and tenure options were shown upfront before I confirmed. No hidden surprises! I could pick an EMI plan that fits my cash flow, and repayment has been smooth.

Who Is a Wilful Defaulter? RBI Rules Explained

Loan defaults don’t all happen for the same reason. Sometimes repayments stop because income drops or a business struggles. In other cases, borrowers continue to have the means to pay but choose not to. RBI treats these two situations very differently. 
'Wilful defaulter' is used only for deliberate non-payment, and the classification tends to persist for some time.

Adding a co-applicant or co-borrower to your application reduces the risk of lending associated with your profile.

At Hero FinCorp, we offer flexible repayment terms starting at about 6 months and extending up to 3 years. You can use a Personal Loan EMI calculator to opt for tenure with budget-friendly EMIs.
