Different Types of Loans: Choose Wisely for Your Needs

Loans help people manage major expenses like buying a home, funding education, or handling emergencies. They fall into two main categories: secured loans and unsecured loans.

Secured Loans: Backed by Collateral

These require security, like property or gold, and offer lower interest rates.

• Home Loans: Help buy houses with repayment periods of 15–30 years. Example: If you take a ₹40 lakh home loan with a 20-year tenure, your EMI could be around ₹35,000, depending on the interest rate.
• Vehicle Loans: Fund car or bike purchases, covering up to 85% of the cost. Example: A ₹10 lakh car loan with a 5-year repayment could mean an EMI of ₹20,000.
• Gold Loans: Borrow against gold jewelry for short-term cash needs, usually with quick approvals.
• Loan Against Property: Use owned property as security to finance various expenses.

Unsecured Loans: No Collateral Needed

These don’t need security but have higher interest rates.

• Personal Loans: Used for medical bills, weddings, or travel, typically repaid within 5 years. Example: A ₹5 lakh personal loan may have an EMI of ₹12,000 per month.
• Education Loans: Support higher studies in India or abroad. Example: A ₹20 lakh education loan for overseas studies might have a repayment period of 10–15 years.
