3 unique variants of our personal loan

  • Flexi Term Loan

    Imagine you take a loan of Rs. 2 lakh for a term of 24 months. For the first six months, you pay the regular equated monthly instalments (EMIs). By now, you would have repaid about Rs. 50,000.

    Suddenly, you have an unforeseen need for Rs. 50,000. All you need to do is to go to My Account and withdraw Rs. 50,000 from your Flexi Term Loan account. Three months later, you just got your bonus of Rs. 1,00,000 and would like to pay back a part of your Flexi Term Loan. This time again, all you need to do is go to My Account and pay back a part of your Flexi Term Loan.

    During all this while, your interest is automatically adjusted, and you are paying interest only on the outstanding amount at any point of time. Your EMI consists of both principal and adjusted interest.

    Unlike in the case of other personal loans, there are absolutely no fee/ penalty/ charges for paying back or withdrawing from your Flexi Term Loan account.

    This variant is ideal for today’s lifestyle, wherein managing expenses can get unpredictable. You can pick this variant if you are looking for the best personal loans in India with flexible terms.

  • Flexi Hybrid Loan

    This is another variant of our personal loan that works exactly like Flexi Term Loan. The only difference is that, for the initial period of the loan, your EMI will only consist of the applicable interest. For the remaining period, the EMI will consist of the interest and principal components.

    Click here for a detailed description of how our Flexi Hybrid Loan works.

  • Term loan

    This is like any other regular personal loan. You borrow a certain amount of money, which is divided into equated monthly instalments that consist of both principal and the applicable interest.

    There is a fee applicable for repaying your term loan before the completion of your loan tenure.
