CIBIL Score 600: High Risk (Borrowing Under Restrictions)\n  <\/h2>\n  <p>\n    A score of 600 sits in the subprime category. Major public and private banks like SBI, HDFC, or ICICI will generally reject unsecured personal loan applications at this level because their automated underwriting systems flag high credit card balances or past 30+ day defaults.\n  <\/p>\n  <ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n    <li><strong>Unsecured Personal Loans:<\/strong> You are limited to fintech platforms or NBFCs. Even with a decent salary, expect sanctions between <strong>\u20b925,000 and \u20b91.5 Lakh<\/strong>, paired with interest rates reaching 20% to 32%.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Home &#038; Vehicle Loans:<\/strong> Public sector banks typically reject these. However, specialized housing finance companies (HFCs) may approve loans under affordable housing schemes, but they will demand a higher down payment (30% to 40% margin) and elevated interest rates (11% to 14%).<\/li>\n    <li><strong>The Best Alternative:<\/strong> At 600, your most viable path to a larger sanction is a <strong>Secured Loan<\/strong>\u2014such as a Gold Loan or Loan Against Fixed Deposit (FD)\u2014where the score matters significantly less.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2 style=\"color: #1e3a8a; font-size: 1.5rem; margin-top: 36px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n    2. CIBIL Score 700: Moderate Risk (The Acceptable Benchmark)\n  <\/h2>\n  <p>\n    A score of 700 places you in an acceptable range. You will pass the initial eligibility filter for most lenders, though you will not get prime discount pricing.\n  <\/p>\n  <ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n    <li><strong>Personal Loans:<\/strong> You can secure loans from <strong>\u20b92 Lakh to \u20b97 Lakh<\/strong>, provided your income supports the monthly EMI. Lenders will usually cap your Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio (FOIR) at around 45% to 50%.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Home Loans:<\/strong> You can qualify for major home loan amounts (e.g., \u20b940 Lakh to \u20b980 Lakh or more), but lenders will price in a moderate risk premium of 0.35% to 0.75% above their lowest advertised rates.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Processing Time:<\/strong> Manual documentation checks are common here. Banks will verify bank statements closely to confirm you have no bounced NACH debits or cheque returns over the past 6 months.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2 style=\"color: #1e3a8a; font-size: 1.5rem; margin-top: 36px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n    3.

Subtracting your \u20b98,000 car EMI leaves <strong>\u20b916,000 max EMI capacity<\/strong>. At high interest rates (20%), this yields a personal loan of only about \u20b93.5 Lakh to \u20b94 Lakh over 3 years.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>At CIBIL 750+:<\/strong> Bank permits a 60% FOIR (\u20b936,000 max EMI limit). Subtracting your \u20b98,000 car EMI leaves <strong>\u20b928,000 max EMI capacity<\/strong>. At prime interest rates (10.5%), this allows for a personal loan sanction of roughly \u20b911 Lakh to \u20b912 Lakh over 5 years.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2 style=\"color: #1e3a8a; font-size: 1.5rem; margin-top: 36px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n    Actionable Next Steps\n  <\/h2>\n  <p>\n    If your score is hovering around 600\u2013650, avoid applying repeatedly to multiple banks.
