Personal Loan Interest Rate — FAQs

What is the current interest rate for a personal loan?
Personal Loan interest rates in India currently start from 14% p.a. in 2026. Your actual rate depends on your CIBIL score, income, loan amount, tenure and the lender.
How can I get the lowest personal loan interest rate?
Maintain a CIBIL score above 750, keep a low debt-to-income ratio, choose a shorter tenure, compare multiple lenders, and apply with complete documentation. A strong credit profile can reduce your personal loan rate significantly.
