Frequently Asked Questions

What is a flexi personal loan?

Flexi personal loan refers to a lending plan whereby borrowers are allowed to opt for an amount from the approved loan and pay interest on the consumed amount only.

How is a flexi loan different from a traditional personal loan?

While a traditional loan gives the entire amount of the loan upfront and collects interest on the total amount, a flexi loan allows customers to get additional loans when required and collects interest on the amount availed.

Can I prepay or make partial payments?

With FIRSTmoney, borrowers can prepay their consumed amounts in full with zero foreclosure benefits, reducing the total interest cost. However, partial payment is not allowed with FIRSTmoney. 

What is the interest rate for a flexi loan?

Flexi loan often provides lower personal loan interest rates compared to a conventional personal loan.  FIRSTmoney offers competitive interest rates starting from 9.99% p.a. to eligible applicants with flexible repayment schedules ranging from 9 to 60 months.

Are there any hidden fees?

No, FIRSTmoney believes in transparent communication, offers zero foreclosure charges and has no hidden personal loan fees and charges

How does the repayment schedule work for a flexi loan?

With a flexi personal loan from IDFC FIRST Bank, you receive an approved loan offer (up to a certain amount) and you can withdraw funds as needed, paying interest only on the amount you actually withdraw. Repayment is then done through EMIs over flexible tenures ranging from 9 to 60 months, and you have the option to repay earlier without any foreclosure charges if you have surplus funds. The amount already accessed is then added back to your initially approved loan offer once all the EMIs are paid. 

Are there prepayment penalties for flexi loans?

IDFC FIRST Bank’s flexi personal loan comes with zero foreclosure charges, which means you are allowed to close your flexi loan early without paying a foreclosure penalty. 

What is the maximum loan amount allowed under a flexi loan?

Under the FIRSTmoney flexi personal loan from IDFC FIRST Bank, the minimum approved loan amount is ₹50,000 and, it can go up to ₹15 lakh, depending on your creditworthiness and eligibility. Within this approved offer , you can access multiple on-demand loans as required, without having to reapply each time.

How long does it take to get approval for a personal loan in In

This varies by lender and process type. Traditional bank loans can take 2 to 7 working days due to manual document checks and verification. With fully digital lenders like IDFC FIRST Bank's FIRSTmoney, approval can happen in seconds to minutes, and funds can be credited within 10 minutes of sanction, since the entire process, from application, KYC, to disbursal, is online. 

How can I improve my chances of getting a personal loan approved? 

The following tips can help to increase your chances of getting a personal loan approved swiftly:

The following tips can help to increase your chances of getting a personal loan approved swiftly:

Keep your CIBIL score above 710

Maintain a stable income with a clean repayment history

Avoid applying to multiple lenders at once

Keep your existing loan EMIs below 50% of your monthly income.

Applying with a co-applicant or being an existing customer of the bank can also work in your favour.

What are the tax implications of personal loans in India?

Personal loans are not taxable income, so the amount you receive is not added to your taxable earnings. However, the interest you pay is also generally not tax-deductible unless the loan is used for a business purpose or for purchasing/constructing a property, in which case partial deductions may apply under the Income Tax Act. It is advisable to consult a tax professional for your specific situation. 

Can I apply for a personal loan if I have a low credit score?

You can, but approval is not guaranteed and you may be offered a lower loan amount or a higher interest rate. IDFC FIRST Bank's FIRSTmoney requires a minimum CIBIL score of 710 and above. If your score falls short, focus on clearing outstanding dues, paying bills on time, and reducing credit card utilisation before applying.
