The process of disbursing a Personal Loan
Personal Loans are a popular way to finance various expenses, such as home renovations, weddings or medical bills. However, before you can access the funds, you must go through a process that involves loan approval, disbursal and repayment.
Beginning the process
To apply for a Personal Loan, you need to fill out an application form and provide some documents to the lender. The lender will then evaluate your creditworthiness based on your credit score, income and debt. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will receive loan approval.
Loan approval
After your loan application is approved, the lender will provide a loan offer that includes the loan amount, interest rate and other terms and conditions. Read the offer document carefully and understand all the terms before accepting the loan.
You can negotiate the interest rate with the lender if you have a good credit score and a stable income.
Loan disbursement
Once you accept the loan offer, the lender will disburse the loan amount to your bank account. Depending on the lender's policies and procedures, the disbursement process can take a few days. Some lenders may also charge a processing fee for the loan disbursement.
Understanding what happens after Personal Loan disbursement
After the Personal Loan is disbursed, you should take a few steps to ensure that you stay on top of your loan repayments and become an informed borrower. Here are the three important steps you should follow:
- Loan confirmation: Once you receive the loan amount in your bank account, you should confirm the loan disbursal with your lender. You can check your bank account statement or contact the lender's customer service team. Confirming the loan disbursal will help you keep track of your loan balance and ensure there are no discrepancies in the loan amount or interest rate.
- Loan repayment: Personal Loans are typically repaid through EMIs (equated monthly instalments) that consist of principal and interest components. You must ensure you pay your EMIs on time to avoid penalties or late fees. You can set up automatic payments or reminders to ensure you don't miss any payments. You can make prepayments or part payments to reduce your loan balance and save on interest costs if you have extra cash.
- Track your credit report: You should keep track of your credit score and credit report regularly. Your credit score is a three-digit number that reflects your creditworthiness, while your credit report contains details of your credit history and loan accounts.
By monitoring your credit score and credit report, you can detect any errors or discrepancies that can affect your loan eligibility. You can also improve your credit score by paying your bills on time, maintaining a low credit utilisation ratio, and keeping your credit accounts active.
