Step-by-step
- Compare lender rates side-by-side. Use the rate board to shortlist 3-4 lenders matching your profile and tenure preference.
- Run an eligibility check. Match income, CIBIL, vintage, and existing-EMI ratios against each lender's published cut-offs.
- Collect KYC + income documents. PAN, Aadhaar, salary slips (3 months) or ITR (2 years for self-employed), bank statements (6 months).
- Submit application + soft-pull. Most digital lenders use soft credit pull at the offer stage so your CIBIL is unaffected.
- Sanction letter + acceptance. Read the sanction letter carefully — focus on processing fee, foreclosure terms, and reset clauses.
- Disbursal. Funds typically credited within 24-72 hours of acceptance for unsecured products.
