Worked example: Arpita in Siliguri
Arpita is 33 and works as a salaried tea estate accounts officer in Siliguri, taking home Rs. 58,000; her CIBIL score stands at 739. She and her mother planned a week in Dhaka and Sylhet to visit family, applying for a Bangladesh tourist visa 3 weeks ahead. Rs. 17,000 came from her savings. For the remaining Rs. 75,000 she took a loan at an illustrative 15.5% per annum and set the equated monthly instalment (EMI) at 2 tenures.
EMI = P × R × (1 + R)^N ÷ [(1 + R)^N − 1]. Here P = Rs. 75,000, R = 15.5 ÷ 1,200 and N = months.
| Tenure | Monthly EMI (Rs.) | Total interest (Rs.) | EMI as share of salary (%) |
|---|
| 12 months (1 year) | 6,787 | 6,445 | 11.7 |
| 18 months (1.5 years) | 4,697 | 9,537 | 8.1 |

The 18-month plan trims the EMI by Rs. 2,090 and adds Rs. 3,092 of interest. Her processing fee is up to Rs. 3,098. Arpita chose 12 months to finish repaying within the year.
What can delay approval: a CIBIL score below 650 or existing EMIs that take up a large share of your income. Names or addresses that do not match across documents, and more than one loan application in the same month, can also slow it down.
