The five factors
- Age: most lenders lend between about 21 and 58 years
- Income: each lender has a minimum monthly income
- CIBIL score: higher scores get more offers and better rates
- Stability: time in your current job or business
- Existing EMIs: lenders cap total EMIs at a share of income
How to improve eligibility
- Close small loans or card dues first
- Add a co-applicant with income if the lender allows
- Choose a longer tenure to lower the EMI
- Correct errors in your credit report
