How can an Insta Personal Loan fund your trip?

An Insta Personal Loan is an unsecured personal loan with a limit you can check before completing a full application. You repay it in equated monthly instalments (EMIs), and each EMI covers part of the principal and the interest on the outstanding balance.

Loan amountRs. Rs. 40,000 to Rs. Rs. 15,50,000
Interest rate16% to 30.5% per annum, subject to eligibility
Tenure12 months to 96 months (1 year to 8 years)
DisbursalMay be credited within 30 minutes* after approval, for eligible offers

Worked example: Ishaan from Chandigarh

Ishaan is 27 and works as a salaried software tester in Chandigarh. He earns Rs. 62,000 a month and has a CIBIL score of 745. He plans a 5-day Jibhi trip for three friends and estimates his share of stays, transport and gear at about Rs. 65,000 (his own illustrative estimate). He pays Rs. 15,000 from savings and borrows Rs. 50,000 at an illustrative 17% per annum.


EMI = P × R × (1 + R)^N ÷ [(1 + R)^N − 1], where R is the monthly rate and N is the tenure in months. All figures are rounded to the nearest rupee.


TenureMonthly EMITotal interest
12 months (1 year)Rs. 4,560Rs. 4,723
18 months (1.5 years)Rs. 3,167Rs. 6,997

The 18-month option lowers the EMI by Rs. 1,393 but adds Rs. 2,274 in interest. The processing fee on Rs. 50,000 is up to Rs. 2,065. Ishaan picks 12 months (1 year), because Rs. 4,560 is about 7.4% of his salary.


What can delay approval: offers depend on your relationship with Bajaj Finance and your financial profile. New customers may need a CIBIL check and documents, which can add time before disbursal.

Frequently asked questions

Visiting Jibhi

Funding the trip

How many days do you need for Jibhi?

Plan 4 days to cover the main places to visit in Jibhi without rushing. Spend the first two days near the village and Tirthan Valley, a full day around Jalori Pass and Serolsar Lake, and one day at the national park or Lambhri Crystal Cave. Add a fifth day if you also want Raghupur Fort.

Most places are free. Of the 10 covered here, only the Great Himalayan National Park charges entry, at Rs. 100 for Indians and Rs. 400 for foreigners. Your main costs are stays, transport and food rather than tickets. Check the park's current fee and timings, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, before you go.

At an illustrative 17% per annum, a Rs. 50,000 loan costs Rs. 4,560 a month over 12 months (1 year). Over 18 months (1.5 years), the EMI drops to Rs. 3,167, but total interest rises from Rs. 4,723 to Rs. 6,997. The processing fee adds up to Rs. 2,065. Your actual rate depends on your offer.

Some customers may not need any documents. New customers may need a CIBIL check, Know Your Customer (KYC) documents, income proof and bank statements. Requirements vary by applicant, so confirm the final list during your application. Keep scanned copies ready so a delay does not affect your homestay or transport bookings.
