Here are the different key factors that affect the Personal Loan interest rate & charges:

There are two types of Personal Loan interest rates -- fixed and floating. Mostly lenders offer a fixed interest rate for Personal Loan. Let’s try to understand the difference between two:

Fixed Interest Rate
If you don’t want to take any financial risks and prefer stability, a fixed interest rate is a choice for you. This is because the interest rate remains the same throughout the tenure. The main downside of a fixed interest rate loan is that it costs a little higher than a floating interest rate loan. If the interest rate falls due to external financial conditions, the fixed interest rate Personal Loan will not get benefit of the falling interest rates scenario. As a result, the borrower is required to pay the same pre-determined amount each month.

Floating Interest Rate
In the floating interest rate scenario, the interest rate changes based on the financial market. This is better for those who are comfortable taking some risks, as the interest rate can increase or decrease based on external conditions not dependent on you always. If the market conditions are favourable, the rate goes down and you end up paying less interest. However, the risk is always there that the market could move unfavourably, and the interest rate may increase in future.
