Unsecured Loan

← VIEW ALL GLOSSARY TERMS

DEFINITION

An unsecured loan requires no asset as security. Approval is based on creditworthiness, income, repayment history, and financial profile. Personal loans and credit cards are common examples.

Since lenders have higher risk (no collateral to recover), unsecured loans carry higher interest rates (12-36% p.a.) and shorter tenures (1-5 years). However, they offer faster processing, minimal documentation, and no risk to assets.

Unsecured business loans have become popular in India, especially for MSMEs and startups without significant assets to pledge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why are unsecured loan interest rates higher?

What is the maximum unsecured loan amount?
Unsecured personal loans range from ₹50,000 to ₹40 lakhs. Unsecured business loans can go up to ₹2-5 crore depending on lender and business profile.
Are unsecured loans good for business?
Yes, ideal for short-term needs like working capital or inventory. Quick disbursement without collateral makes them suitable for MSMEs.

WHY IT MATTERS
