What are the factors responsible for TMB personal loan eligibility?

The factors responsible for the TMB personal loans eligibility are multifold and ensure a wide spectrum of applicants can apply for the personal loans of the bank. Some examples of the factors influencing loan eligibility are mentioned below.

Age of the applicant

One of the prime factors of eligibility is the age restrictions for the applicant laid down by the bank. These restrictions ensure that the loan is not sanctioned in the name of a minor or a senior citizen without any source of income to safeguard the interest of the bank.

Relationship with the bank

Many lenders require the applicant to have a minimum existing relationship with the bank to be eligible for its personal loans. This provides the bank with the financial history of such applicant to ensure the viability of the loan. The bank may also provide a lien on the account in case of default on the loan provided it is allowed as per the guidelines of the bank and is agreed between the borrower and the lender.

The income of the applicant

The income of the applicant is essential to determine the repayment capacity of the applicant. This assures the bank of the viability of the loan and reduces the risk of non-performing assets.

Expenses of the applicant

Existing expenses being huge may dampen the chances of getting a personal loan for any applicant. This reduces the repayment capacity of the applicant and may disqualify them for any additional liability.

External liabilities

When a person already has huge external liabilities (for example home loan), the eligibility of the applicant may be lowered for any further loan. Lenders may not sanction a further loan if the repayment capacity is not sufficient.

The credit score of the applicant

The credit score of the applicant is a crucial factor in determining the eligibility of a person for a personal loan. A person having a good credit score is a low-risk candidate and vice versa. It is also essential in determining the rate of interest, loan tenure or loan amount, etc.

Loan amount

If the loan amount required by the applicant is more than the amount that can be sanctioned based on other factors of eligibility of such person, it becomes a crucial factor for deterring eligibility or sanction of loan. In such cases, banks may reject the loan or may grant the loan at a lower amount.
