A personal loan is an unsecured loan and the lender would want a strong proof for repayment. Your salary is a major factor that determines your loan eligibility. Most lenders do not entertain candidates with income less than Rs. 10,000. However, the chances are not completely ruled out. If your monthly salary is less than Rs. 10,000, you can try to show additional income earned through some other sources. The more income proof you are able to provide, the higher will be the approval chances.

Banks such as SBI and Indian Overseas Bank provide personal loans to individuals who have lower income of Rs. 5000 per month. But the loan amount might be lower than you expected.

Getting a co-applicant or co-borrower is another best way to get a personal loan with low income. The co-borrower’s income and good credit score can aid you in increasing the loan eligibility and thus bag an unsecured loan without any hassle.
