What is a Personal Loan Balance Transfer?

A Balance Transfer (BT) lets you shift your running personal loan to another bank/NBFC offering a lower interest rate, reduced EMI, and/or more flexible tenure. The new lender pays off your outstanding with the old lender, and you continue EMIs with the new one—often with sizable interest savings.

Frequently Asked Questions — Balance Transfer

Updated: 01 Apr 2026

Q1. Can I do BT before completing 6 EMIs?
Most lenders require at least 6 EMIs before allowing a Balance Transfer. Some lenders may consider earlier BT, but it usually comes with additional conditions, higher interest rate or extra processing fees.
Q2. Will BT hurt my credit score?
A BT request triggers a hard credit inquiry, which may cause a small temporary dip. Paying EMIs on time on the new loan generally helps your score improve again.
Q3. Can I add a Top-Up during BT?
Yes. Many lenders offer Balance Transfer + Top-Up together if your income, CIBIL score and FOIR/DBR meet their underwriting policy.
Q4. What’s the most cost-effective setup for BT?
For maximum savings:
• Choose a lower interest rate
• Opt for a shorter tenure (if budget allows)

This significantly reduces total interest outgo.
