If you have a sudden big-ticket expense, a medical emergency or need to go on a vacation and are wondering which financing option to choose, a personal loan may be a good solution for you. It is convenient to process, doesn’t need too many documents and it takes only 24-36 working hours for the loan to be disbursed. Sounds cool, doesn’t it?
Another convenient feature of a personal loan is that it can be unsecured if you so wish. This means that you do not need to pledge any asset while availing of this loan which makes it the go-to option for millennials.
What do the terms Secured and Unsecured mean?
We often come across the terms secured and unsecured when it comes to personal loans. What are the differences between the two? Let us examine this in detail so that you can decide what is best for you.
A secured loan is a loan that is backed by security or collateral. An unsecured loan, on the other hand, has no collateral. For example, if you pledge your house and take a personal loan against it, it is a secured loan. If you take a loan on the basis of your monthly income without any asset backing, it is called an unsecured personal loan.
A secured loan can be taken for a longer tenure like 15-20 years while an unsecured loan comes for a shorter tenure of 1-5 years. Effectively, a secured loan can be availed of at a lower rate of interest compared to an unsecured loan.
A secured personal loan is useful when you are looking for a big-ticket purchase like a home or a vehicle where you prefer to have the EMIs spread out over a long tenure. When you are interested in meeting a smaller expense, say a new gadget, a vacation or an urgent medical emergency, an unsecured personal loan is the answer. It is easier to process and the loan can be disbursed with 24-36 working hours. It requires minimal paperwork and the entire process is user friendly.
How can I apply for an Unsecured Personal Loan?
Applying for an unsecured personal loan is a very simple process. If you are over the age of 21 and have Indian citizenship or residency, you are eligible for a personal loan as long as you are earning a fixed/minimum income of Rs 30,000 per month.
