Frequently asked questions
What counts as a short-term personal loan?
Generally, a tenure of 3-12 months, used for a temporary cash need you expect to clear quickly — bridging a short gap rather than financing a large purchase over years.
Is a short-term loan cheaper than a longer-tenure loan?
In total interest, almost always yes for the same amount and rate — a shorter tenure means far less time for interest to accrue, even though the monthly EMI is higher. If you can comfortably afford the higher EMI, a short tenure is usually the lower-cost choice.
Do lenders charge higher rates for short-term loans?
Sometimes slightly, since smaller, shorter loans can carry proportionally higher processing costs for the lender — but the difference is usually minor compared to the interest savings from the shorter duration itself. Compare the total repayment amount, not just the headline rate, when choosing tenure.
