HDFC Bank

Private bank
Official

HDFC's eligibility page (checked live 25 Oct 2026) publishes age 21-60, 2 years' total experience with 1 year at the current employer and a flat Rs 25,000 minimum net monthly income, with no separate floor for non-HDFC salary accounts (the old Rs 50,000 figure was aggregator-sourced and is dropped). Its FAQ calls 720 the minimum and ideal score; an older HDFC page cited 650. The product page advertises up to Rs 1 crore and rates of 9.99-24%; tenure is 12-72 months (the calculator runs 1-7 years, an FAQ says 12-60 months). FOIR, the income multiple and the 750 preferred score are working estimates.

State Bank of India

Public sector bank
Official

For employees with an SBI Salary Package Account, covering central/state government, railways, police, PSU, defence and corporate-sector employees: age 21 to 60 (the loan closes by retirement or 60), at least 6 months' service for government/defence or 12 months for corporate, and Rs 20,000 (government/defence) or Rs 25,000 (corporate) net monthly salary; the engine applies the lower figures, so corporate applicants need 12 months and Rs 25,000. Loans run Rs 1 lakh to Rs 50 lakh over 6 to 84 months, capped at the lower of 65% EMI/NMI and 30 times NMI, at 10.00% to 15.00%. SBI asks only for a 'decent' score under internal policy, so the 700 floor, 750 preferred score and the corporate employer-category limit are our estimates. This page does not mention Real-Time Xpress Credit, so no separate RTXC terms are modelled.

A screenshot showing a minimum age of 18 was not used. ICICI publishes no minimum score or FOIR: 750 is its stated preference, while the 700 floor, 55% FOIR, 22x income cap, 12 months with the current employer (not stated consistently across ICICI pages), 12 months at the current residence (from an ICICI blog) and the Rs 15 lakh / Rs 40 lakh self-employed turnover figures are our working estimates.

Product page: salaried applicants only (government, PSU, public and private limited company staff, salaried doctors), age 21 to 60 at maturity, Rs 15,000 a month for Axis customers and Rs 25,000 for others; the earlier Delhi/Mumbai Rs 25,000 floor for all applicants is dropped because the product page gives Rs 15,000 to existing customers without a city carve-out. Axis calls 750+ a healthy score and advises keeping existing EMIs within 40% of take-home; the 720 floor, 60% FOIR, 22x multiple, 6 months in the current job, amount and tenure are our working estimates. Rate is the 3-year MCLR table, 8.90% to 21.55% (loans disbursed Apr to Jun 2026 ran 8.75% to 21.55%).

It calls 750+ generally good while its FAQ says 685 or higher, so 685 is used as the floor. The 6 months at the current employer, 12 months' city stability, 24% rate ceiling, FOIR and income multiple are not on the eligibility page and are kept as working estimates; a Mumbai page gives age 21-58 and another FAQ gives Rs 25,000 (Delhi / Mumbai) or Rs 20,000 (other cities).

FIRSTmoney, the digital variant, lends Rs 50,000 to Rs 15 lakh over 9 to 60 months with no part-prepayment allowed; the amount and tenure here describe the main product and are kept.

FOIR is 40% to 70% of gross income by income band (55% used for a typical earner); government/defence staff get 70% with a salary account elsewhere and 75% with a BoB salary account, plus 72 or 84 months versus 48 to 60 months for others. Rate is the BRLLR-linked card 10.15% to 17.50% (fixed MCLR-linked 10.95% to 18.00%); card predates the Oct 2026 benchmark change; adjusted +0.25.

Age, income floors, score and FOIR are not published and remain estimates, so the block stays inferred; the rate range is also an estimate (the 9.50% figure seen is PNB's base rate, not a product rate). A separate self-employed professional scheme (Rs 6 lakh income, CIC 750, up to Rs 5 lakh) is not modelled.

Loans run Rs 30,000 to Rs 50 lakh over 12 to 84 months (instant digital loans up to Rs 5 lakh over 48 months; the Mumbai page says 60 months) from 10.49%. The page says 'preferably 730' and its FAQ and Mumbai page say minimum 730, so 730 is the floor.

The 685 paperless-approval score used earlier is not on the current pages, so the floor is now the published 650. The Rs 35,000 metro floor and 12 / 6 months' experience come from the Bajaj Finserv Markets eligibility page (not repeated on bajajfinserv.in), and the 60% FOIR, 24x income cap and 750 preferred score are our estimates (the FAQ lists high FOIR and probation as rejection reasons).

The income floor rests only on the eligibility FAQ, which says Rs 20,000-40,000 depending on city and loan type while another FAQ on the same page says there is no minimum, so the Rs 20,000 base is estimated and the Rs 35,000 metro floor is kept as a working estimate.

The page currently shows a 'personal loan sourcing is currently unavailable' banner. The self-employed income floor is a nominal estimate.

Re-tagged inferred because the 21-67 age window and the 600+ score (750+ ideal) come from the FAQ, and no income floor is published (the nominal floor is an estimate). The product page and loan policy publish loans from about Rs 50,000 up to Rs 20 lakh, a 60-month maximum tenure and rates from 13.5% (no ceiling published, so the engine rate card applies). Eligible applicants are government / public-sector or established private-sector employees, self-employed applicants meeting income and risk norms, or anyone offering 100% collateral; processing typically takes 1 to 7 days.

RBL Bank

RBL's product page offers this loan only as a pre-qualified offer to existing RBL Savings Account or Corporate Salary Account holders who are Indian residents aged 25 to 55 at onboarding, so the engine requires an RBL account relationship and applies 55 at maturity (stricter than the page's at-onboarding wording). Loans run Rs 30,000 to Rs 7 lakh (checked live on the product page, 2 Nov 2026) over 12 to 36 months at a stated 18% p.a., subject to the bank's interest reset clause. No income floor, credit score, employment type or FOIR is published, so none is applied beyond the engine defaults; the 750 preferred score is the panel default. RBL publishes no income floor for this offer; the engine applies its generic Rs 25,000 working floor.

Conflicts recorded: the same page's main block says age 18-70, and the separate FAQ page says 21-65 with Rs 10,000 / Rs 2 lakh. No minimum CIBIL is published, so the 680 floor, FOIR and 3-year self-employed vintage are working estimates.

SBI's Regular Home Loan page publishes resident Indians aged 18 to 70 at repayment and tenure up to 30 years; the rate card dated 20 May 2026 shows 7.25% to 8.55% (EBLR-linked, plus 0.10% for non-salaried borrowers below CIBIL 825). The income floors, 550 minimum score, 3-year self-employed vintage with 2 years' profit, the 75 ceiling under Privilege / Shaurya and the amount range come from aggregator listings, so the block is tagged market-reported. SBI's FAQ says EMI/NMI runs from 20% to 70% depending on income, so the 55% FOIR is our working estimate.

The page does not say whether the upper ages apply at maturity; we apply them at maturity, which is the stricter reading.

How to read this page

Every lender rule on this site carries one of three labels, so you always know how much to trust it:

  • OfficialThe lender's published rule. We read it off the lender's own website, and the card links to that page.
  • Market-reportedReported, not confirmed. Loan-comparison sites agree on the figure, but the lender's own page either does not state it or could not be read. Usually right, occasionally out of date.
  • InferredOur estimate, not the lender's policy. Either the lender does not publish this rule at all and we filled the gap using what similar lenders publish, RBI norms and standard Indian underwriting practice, or the figure appears only on the lender's FAQ or blog pages rather than its product or eligibility page. The lender's real cut-off may be stricter or looser. Use it to decide whether a lender is worth approaching, not as a promise of what they will accept.

Even an Official rule can mix in a few assumptions, for example where a bank publishes its age limits but not its income floor. Each card's note says exactly which figures are the lender's and which are ours. We would rather show you an honest estimate, clearly labelled, than a confident-looking number we cannot back up.
