Personal loan on a ₹15,000 salary

Small loans that fit a ₹15,000 salary
Keeping all EMIs within about a third of take-home pay leaves roughly ₹5,000 a month, if ₹15,000 is what reaches your account and you have no other EMIs. At the highest rate listed for each amount over 12 months by the lenders open to you:
| Loan | Highest listed rate | EMI over 12 months | Within the budget? |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹10,000 | 36% | ₹1,005 | Yes |
| ₹25,000 | 36% | ₹2,512 | Yes |
| ₹50,000 | 36% | ₹5,023 | No |
Reducing-balance EMI, no fees. Only lenders that list each amount for 12 months are counted. An illustration, not an offer.
A small first loan repaid on time also starts a credit history — see your first personal loan.
