EMI on a ₹1 lakh personal loan
The table shows the monthly EMI on ₹1 lakh at a few illustrative interest rates and tenures, worked out with the standard reducing-balance formula.
| Tenure | EMI at 12% | EMI at 16% | EMI at 20% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 months | ₹8,885 | ₹9,073 | ₹9,263 |
| 24 months | ₹4,707 | ₹4,896 | ₹5,090 |
| 36 months | ₹3,321 | ₹3,516 | ₹3,716 |
| 48 months | ₹2,633 | ₹2,834 | ₹3,043 |
At 16%, choosing 48 months instead of 12 lowers the EMI but raises the total interest from about ₹8,877 to about ₹36,033. The rates here are examples only; your rate depends on the lender and your profile. Try other numbers in the calculator below or read how EMI is calculated.

What to watch at ₹1 lakh
If you plan to repay early, check the part-prepayment and foreclosure terms in the Key Fact Statement before you sign — see personal loan prepayment and foreclosure. Using ₹1 lakh to pay off expensive card debt can lower your monthly outgo, but only if you stop adding to the card.

Eligibility
Lenders look at your income, existing EMIs, credit score, job or business stability and banking history. As a rough guide, an EMI of about ₹4,896 (16%, 24 months) fits within half of a take-home income of around ₹10,000 a month if you have no other EMIs. Most lenders also set their own minimum monthly income, often higher than that, so the higher of the two applies — check your own numbers with the loan eligibility calculator. See the full personal loan eligibility guide.
