Tips to Save Money Through Personal Loans

Imagine you have been planning to take a family vacation to some foreign land but are unable to do so simply because you don’t have a lump sum amount of money in your bank account. Alternatively, you have accumulated substantial credit card debt and now are behind on your payments. This is hurting your credit history. Even though you have a stable income, you just can’t seem to save enough money for footing big bills. These payments can also include sudden large medical expenses or huge home repair costs. Considering the option of taking a personal loan while facing such situations can be a lifesaver.

What Are Personal Loans?

A personal loan is generally taken to assist borrowers in making a big payment immediately. This loan can help you meet your short-term financial needs fast. A personal loan is unsecured in the sense that it does not require the borrower to keep anything as collateral or assure a guarantor with the bank. Unlike home loans or business loans that are given out for specific purposes of buying a house or running a business, personal loans can be taken to fulfil any end goal.

Optimise Finances Through Personal Loans

Remember that personal loans are given out at lower interest rates as opposed to many other lending instruments. There are several ways in which this type of loan can help save you money. Read about a few significant ones below.

Credit card debt consolidation

This is one of the smartest reasons to obtain a personal loan. If you are struggling to repay your credit card debt due to high-interest rates, then availing a personal loan which is sanctioned at a much lower interest rate to repay your debt will save you a lot of money. Credit cards generally have high interest rates of around 20% per annum. However, a personal loan is issued at rates ranging between 9% - 12% per annum. Hence, it makes more sense to save on your overall interest payments by taking a personal loan and immediately paying off all your credit card debt.

Improve your credit rating

Lenders will label you a high-risk borrower if you have credit card debt and you keep maximising your credit card limit. Utilizing a personal loan to pay off your credit card debt will significantly improve your credit score (CIBIL). Since this loan is sanctioned for a fixed amount of time, repaying it in full by the end of the prescribed term will improve your credit rating. This will help you get bigger loans sanctioned at better interest rates, for when you want to buy a home or fund your child’s education.

Tax benefits

Under the Income Tax Act, if you avail of a personal loan to make a down payment or renovate your house, you are eligible for income tax deductions of up to Rs 2,00,000 under Section 24. Usually, house buyers avail of Section 24 to lower their home loan interest rates. However, this section can also be used for people that don’t want a home loan but need money to get housing-related construction work done.

Avoid hidden fees

Credit card companies often levy hidden charges on cardholders. Users are unaware of these charges as they are concealed well within the statements. Personal loans, on the other hand, have no pesky hidden charges and allow users to make big payments more transparently. The loan can be repaid without having to incur any hidden fee. This saves the borrower a substantial amount of money throughout the loan tenure.
