How much can you borrow, and how is the EMI calculated?

You can borrow Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 15,50,000 under the Insta Personal Loan, subject to eligibility, and the amount available depends on your income, existing obligations, credit profile and requested amount. All customers can accept the offered amount or take a lower sum.


The equated monthly instalment (EMI) is the fixed monthly amount you repay, covering part of the principal and the interest. For example, for a Rs. 1 lakh loan at 16% per annum for 24 months, the EMI is about Rs. 4,896, the total repayment is about Rs. 1.18 lakh, and the interest is about Rs. 17,511, excluding applicable fees. You can use the Insta Personal Loan EMI calculator, which needs the loan amount, tenure and interest rate, to estimate your EMI and see the split of principal and interest before you apply.

  1. Amount to borrow: Borrow only the amount you need and can repay from your business or personal income.
  2. Interest rate: Confirm the applicable interest rate before accepting the loan.
  3. EMI: Check that the monthly EMI fits your cash flow, including months when income is lower.
  4. Total repayment: Compare the total amount payable with the amount borrowed.
  5. Charges: Review the processing, prepayment, bounce and other applicable charges.
  6. Tenure: Compare different tenures on both the EMI and the total interest.

Frequently asked questions

Overview

What documents are required for an Insta Personal Loan for a self-employed applicant?

Most of the time, you can apply for our Insta Personal Loan without submitting any paperwork. However, based on your profile, you may be required to provide a few basic documents:


  • KYC documents: Aadhaar/ passport/ voter’s ID/ driving license/ Letter of National Population Register/ NREGA job card
  • PAN card
  • Employee ID card
  • Salary slips of the last 3 months
  • Bank account statements of the previous 3 months
  • Piped gas bill
  • Pension order
  • Letter of Allotment of Accommodation Issued by Employer
  • Property / Municipal tax receipt
  • Utility bill
  • Phone bill
  • Real-time image / photograph

A self-employed applicant can borrow Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 15,50,000 under the Insta Personal Loan, subject to eligibility. The amount offered depends on your income, credit profile, existing obligations and requested amount. Existing customers may see a pre-approved amount, and new customers a pre-assigned limit. You can take the offer or a lower sum. Check your pre-approved loan offer with phone number and OTP → Apply online in 5 minutes → Get funds in 30 minutes*.

The interest rate of 16% to 30.5% per annum applies based on your profile rather than on being salaried or self-employed as such. Your credit score, income stability and existing obligations drive the rate offered. A strong profile can help you get a lower rate, whatever your employment type.

No, an Insta Personal Loan is unsecured and does not require a guarantor or collateral, subject to applicable terms. Your eligibility rests on your own credit profile and income. You should still be sure the EMI fits your budget, as you are responsible for the repayment.

You repay the Insta Personal Loan in fixed monthly EMIs over the chosen tenure, usually by auto-debit from your bank account. Each EMI covers part of the principal and the interest, and the balance reduces over the tenure. You can also prepay to reduce your interest, subject to the applicable terms and any charges.
