by Arjita Gupta Content Strategist
A personal loan is an unsecured loan. It is available at most of the public sector and private sector banks and NBFCs. This loan is usually provided to salaried individuals only. However, certain financial institutions may extend the funding to professionals such as doctors, lawyers, Chartered Accountant etc.

The funds are transferred quickly, within 2 to 3 days of the loan application approval, into the bank account of the borrower.
