What are the things to consider while taking an emergency loan?
Perform these three checks before going ahead with your emergency loan application:
- Assess the expenditure: Estimate the full cost of the emergency, including follow-up costs. A hospital admission carries post-discharge medication and review consultations beyond the surgery bill itself.
- Determine the loan amount. Subtract what your savings can cover from the total. Borrow the difference, not the total. This is the figure to enter when applying through the emergency loan app.
Confirm you meet eligibility. Applications are approved only when the eligibility criteria are met and the documents are verified.

Can I get an emergency loan with a CIBIL score of 650?
Yes, you can get an personal loan from Bajaj Finance with a CIBIL score of 650 or higher. Approval depends on meeting all the eligibility criteria and verification of your documents. A higher credit score can improve your chances of approval and may help you access more favourable loan terms.
How can you improve your emergency loan approval chances?
Approval depends on your credit profile, income stability, and documentation quality.
- Pay existing EMIs and credit card bills on time to hold your CIBIL score at 650 or above
- Show a stable monthly income to demonstrate repayment capacity
- Keep existing debt low, since it directly reduces the amount you can borrow
- Submit complete and accurate documents, including PAN card and income proof
- Apply for a loan amount proportionate to your income
- Avoid multiple simultaneous loan applications, as each generates a credit enquiry
- Maintain consistent bank statements without frequent bounces
Following these steps can improve approval chances for emergency personal loans and help ensure faster processing.

An unsecured personal loan may be preferable when you need quick access without pledging an asset.

Compare interest rates, processing fees, repayment tenure and disbursal time before choosing.

How much does an emergency loan actually cost?
The worked example below shows how tenure changes both your EMI and your total interest on the same loan amount.
Indicative scenario: Rohan Mehta, 34, works at a private firm in Pune. His mother needs a cardiac procedure costing Rs. 5,00,000. He has Rs. 1,20,000 in savings and does not want to liquidate his fixed deposit. His take-home salary is Rs. 62,000 per month and he pays an existing Rs. 4,500 EMI on a two-wheeler loan. His CIBIL score is 712.
He applies for a Rs. 5,00,000 Term Loan and is offered 16% per annum.
| Parameter | 36-month tenure | 60-month tenure |
|---|---|---|
| Loan amount | Rs. 5,00,000 | Rs. 5,00,000 |
| Interest rate | 16% p.a. | 16% p.a. |
| Monthly EMI | Rs. 17,579 | Rs. 12,159 |
| Total amount repaid | Rs. 6,32,827 | Rs. 7,29,542 |
| Total interest paid | Rs. 1,32,827 | Rs. 2,29,542 |
| Debt-to-income ratio | 35.6% | 26.9% |
What the numbers show: The 60-month tenure lowers Rohan's EMI by Rs. 5,420 a month. It also costs him Rs. 96,715 more in interest over the life of the loan. That is the trade-off in plain terms — a lower monthly commitment (EMI) purchased with a larger total outgo (total interest paid).
Processing fee: At up to 4.13% inclusive of taxes (indicative processing fee), a Rs. 5,00,000 loan attracts up to Rs. 20,650, leaving a net credit of about Rs. 4,79,350. Rohan should therefore apply for an amount that accounts for this deduction, not the amount he needs in hand.
Which tenure Rohan should pick: At 35.6%, his debt-to-income ratio on the 36-month option is manageable but leaves limited room for a second shock. The 60-month tenure at 26.9% preserves more monthly headroom. Since he can make part-prepayments later (subject to charges), the longer tenure with early part-prepayment gives him both a lower committed EMI and a route to reduce total interest.
