Before you apply for a personal loan, it helps to know what lenders will check. Most rejections happen not because of one big problem but because of small gaps: salary paid in cash, too many running EMIs, a wrong address or missing documents. This guide lists the common eligibility rules for salaried people in Delhi NCR, how much you may be able to borrow, and how to check yourself before applying.
Quick answer: Lenders usually look for a salaried job with a recognised employer, a minimum in-hand salary, salary credited to your bank account, a manageable level of existing EMIs, an acceptable credit history and valid KYC. Through Indifunds partners in Delhi NCR, applicants usually need an in-hand salary of ₹35,000 or more and age between 23 and 55. A low CIBIL score is assessed case by case.
Common eligibility criteria
| Criteria | What lenders usually want | Through Indifunds partners |
|---|---|---|
| Employment | Salaried with a recognised company | Salaried employees in Delhi NCR |
| In-hand salary | Varies by lender | Usually ₹35,000 or more |
| Salary mode | Credited to a bank account | Bank credit preferred; cash salary is hard to verify |
| Age | Typically 21 to 58 | 23 to 55 years |
| Work experience | Some months in the current job | Stable job with minimum experience |
| Location | Lender's service area | Noida, Greater Noida, Delhi, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad |
| Credit history | Good score preferred | Low CIBIL and past rejections assessed |
How much can you borrow?
Lenders look at how much of your salary is left after your existing EMIs. A common rule of thumb is that all your EMIs together, including the new one, should stay within about 40 to 50% of your in-hand salary.
Example: In-hand salary ₹50,000. Existing EMI ₹8,000. If the lender allows 50%, room for a new EMI is about ₹17,000. Over 24 months, that may support a loan of roughly ₹2.4 to ₹2.8 lakh, depending on the rate. Try your own numbers on the EMI calculator or use the eligibility checker.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum salary for a personal loan in Delhi NCR?
It varies by lender. Through Indifunds partners, applicants usually need an in-hand salary of ₹35,000 or more.
Can I get a personal loan if I joined a new company recently?
Some lenders accept applicants after a few months in the new job, especially with continuous experience before it. Others ask you to complete probation first.
Is a personal loan possible with a low CIBIL score?
Yes, some lenders assess low scores together with your salary, job stability and existing EMIs. Expect a smaller amount or a higher rate.
Can I apply if my salary is paid in cash?
It is difficult because the lender cannot verify cash income. Some lenders may consider a bank statement with regular cash deposits, but approval chances are lower.
Does checking eligibility affect my CIBIL score?
A basic eligibility check does not. A formal loan application creates a hard enquiry, which can lower the score slightly.
