Hi, I have low credit score. How to get a loan with poor credit score?

First of all, yes, it is possible to get a loan with a low credit score. However, it may not be easy, but there are ways around it. This is how it usually works.

  • If you have a steady income, lenders are more likely to trust you. Show them you can manage the EMIs without trouble.
  • You can also apply with a co-applicant, maybe your spouse or a family member who has a stronger credit score. Their profile balances out yours.
  • Some lenders might still give you the loan, but at a higher interest rate. If the need is urgent, this is an option worth considering.
  • Another way is by offering collateral. Property, gold, or even fixed deposits can back your request.
  • Applying for a smaller amount also helps, since it reduces the risk for the lender.

And while you are doing all this, it is smart to work on improving your score. Clear your dues, pay bills on time, and slowly build back your credit health.

So yes, a low score is not the end of the road. You just need to be a little strategic about it.
