Loans

Every loan an Indian can take — and what it takes to qualify.

Solvifin checks your eligibility across every RBI-registered lender in India — banks, NBFCs, housing finance companies, small-finance and cooperative banks — for all 10 major loan types. Here's each one, who it's for, and exactly what you'll need.

What everyone needs (the basics)

You should be an Indian resident, 18+, with valid KYC (Aadhaar + PAN), an active bank account, and proof of income suited to the loan (salary slips/Form-16 for salaried, ITR/GST/bank statements for self-employed). For secured loans you also need the asset — property, vehicle or gold. A healthier credit score (CIBIL 750+) gets you better rates.
