In order to get the Personal Loan, the minimum current income of an individual should be Rs. 25,000 per month (Rs. 50,000 for non-HDFC salary account holders). Your capacity to pay the EMIs of your Personal Loan is judged based on your income without having an effect on your standards of living.
• FOIR: One of the important parameters at HDFC bank to consider a Personal Loan application is FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ration). HDFC will consider all your fixed obligations such as current EMIs, rent, and so on, while assuming your loan eligibility. A minimum FOIR of 0.45 is required to be eligible for the Personal Loan at HDFC Bank. You can use HDFC Bank Loan Calculator to calculate and compare the FOIR and then apply for the Personal Loan accordingly.
• Co-applicant: One can also add a co-applicant to increase the eligibility score and the loan amount as well. Adding a co-applicant will increase the repayment capacity. One should make sure to add a co-borrower having a good income, limited fixed obligation, and a good credit score as well.

HDFC Bank looks at your past credit behaviour and your track record with past lenders before approving a new Personal Loan. All your credit history, behaviour and track record are captured in your CIBIL score. CIBIL stands for Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited.

CIBIL score captures all your past running loans, your payment track record on your loans and Credit Cards. CIBIL score is a primary determinant to define your 

HDFC Personal loan Eligibility. A higher CIBIL score (700 or above) means that you have been prudent with previous loans and thereby a higher CIBIL score increases your chances of getting a Personal Loan.

Some factors which affect your credit score are:

• Late payments on past loans: In case you have defaulted on any of your past loans or there has been any delay in payment for any of your existing or past loans, your credit score is negatively affected and that will reduce your chances of availing HDFC Bank Personal Loan.
• A high number of unsecured loans: Having a balance between secured and unsecured loans and servicing the loans in a timely manner ensures a good credit score. A high proportion of unsecured loan leads to a lower CIBIL score that can negatively impact your Personal Loan application at HDFC Bank.
• Usage of credit limit: Spending more than your Credit Card limit and frequent cash withdrawals from your Credit Cards, are signs of financial indiscipline that can negatively impact your credit score.
• Multiple loan applications: In case you apply for a Personal Loan at multiple banks at the same time, it is viewed as a sign of financial stress and can reduce your credit or CIBIL score. Such behaviour can lead to rejection of your Personal Loan application.

• Maintain a clean credit history: Ensure that all your past loans are repaid in time and in full and that you have met all the conditions of the past lenders. This will ensure that your credit history is clean and that your CIBIL score is high.
• Lower EMIs on existing loans: In case you have any existing loans, make sure that you increase the tenure of the existing loans so that your EMI on those loans reduces and you have a larger surplus left to service a new loan from HDFC Bank.
• Prepayment: It is highly recommended that if possible you pay off your existing loans before taking a new one. This will increase your eligibility for a new HDFC Bank Personal Loan.
