Bajaj Finserv Review

Personal loan from Bajaj Finserv with amounts up to Rs 55 lakh and flexible EMI options.

Reviewed by BankCreds App Review Team· App Review Analysts Updated 14 June 2026

Bajaj Finserv is India's most accessible large NBFC lender. A low 685 CIBIL minimum, a huge ₹55 lakh ceiling and disbursal within 24 hours make it a genuine option for borrowers a bank would reject.

But the cost story is the catch. The advertised 10% is a floor for top profiles, and the real band runs all the way to 31% — one of the widest in the market. This review is blunt about that spread, and about the Flexi loan, whose low "interest-only" EMIs can quietly cost you more overall.

Our Ratings

Disbursal speed 4.0/5

Typically within 24 hours of approval, with frequent pre-approved offers for existing customers.

Interest & cost 3.0/5

A wide 10–31% band — the 10% is a floor for top profiles, and the Flexi loan adds total cost and a separate annual fee.

App experience 4.0/5

The app rates ~4.8★ in-store, though independent review sites are far harsher about lending conduct.

Customer support 3.0/5

Some users report insurance add-ons, undisclosed fees and slow resolution of charge disputes.

Safety & transparency 4.0/5

An RBI-registered NBFC (Bajaj Finance Limited), but the wide band and Flexi mechanics need careful reading.

Pros

  • Low 685 CIBIL minimum — approves thinner files than most banks
  • Very high ceiling up to ₹55 lakh and long tenure up to 96 months
  • Disbursal within 24 hours, with frequent pre-approved offers
  • An RBI-registered NBFC (Bajaj Finance Limited) with a strong app
  • The Flexi facility is genuinely useful for borrowers with lumpy, recurring cash needs

Cons

  • One of the widest rate bands here (10–31%) — most borrowers land well above the 10% floor
  • The Flexi loan's interest-only EMIs lower your monthly payment but raise total cost, plus a separate annual Flexi fee
  • Some users report insurance/membership products and fees added without clear disclosure
  • Processing fee up to 3.93% plus GST
  • Part-prepayment and foreclosure only after 12 EMIs, with charges

Our Verdict

Bajaj Finserv is the most accessible large NBFC lender here — a low 685 CIBIL minimum, a huge ₹55 lakh ceiling and disbursal within 24 hours. For thin-file borrowers a bank would reject, that access is genuinely valuable. But the cost is the catch. The advertised 10% is a floor for top profiles, and the real band runs to 31% — one of the widest in the market, so the borrowers most likely to be let in are the least likely to get the headline rate. Be especially careful with the Flexi loan, whose low interest-only EMIs lower your monthly outgo but raise your total cost and carry a separate annual fee. Read the sanction letter line by line — some users report insurance and other charges added without clear disclosure.

Who Bajaj Finserv suits

Near-prime borrowers (CIBIL 685+) a bank would decline
Larger-ticket borrowers needing up to ₹55 lakh
Existing Bajaj customers with a pre-approved offer
Borrowers with genuinely lumpy cash needs who understand the Flexi mechanics

Look elsewhere if

You have a clean 750+ file — a bank like HDFC or ICICI will likely be cheaper
You want a simple, lowest-total-cost term loan — avoid the Flexi unless you understand it
You want zero cross-sell — read every line of the sanction letter

Things to Watch

  • The advertised 10% is a floor for top profiles; the real band runs to 31%, so confirm your actual rate before accepting
  • The Flexi loan's low interest-only EMIs raise your total interest paid and carry a separate annual Flexi facility fee — make sure you understand it before choosing it
  • Some users report insurance/membership products and charges (flexi fee, annual maintenance) added without clear disclosure — read the sanction letter line by line and ask for a full charges breakdown

What Real Users Say

The Bajaj Finserv app rates around 4.8★ on the Play Store with 100M+ installs, though independent review sites skew far more negative — a sign the gripe is with lending conduct, not the app itself.

In-store ratings are high, but consumer-forum sentiment is much harsher.

What users love

Borrowers praise the fast disbursal, the all-in-one app, and approval for mid-range CIBIL files banks reject.

Common complaints

Some users report insurance add-ons and undisclosed fees, aggressive sales calls, and slow resolution of charge disputes.

How Bajaj Finserv Compares

vs HDFC Insta Personal Loan — HDFC starts lower on paper with a capped flat fee but wants a cleaner 750+ file — Bajaj wins on access and ticket size, HDFC on cost for clean files.

vs ICICI Bank Personal Loan — ICICI is bank-grade on conduct and cost if you qualify; choose Bajaj if you need a thinner-file approval or a larger ₹55 lakh ticket.

vs KreditBee — KreditBee is for small, fast app loans with looser income rules; Bajaj is better for larger amounts and a lower floor, though neither is cheap at the top of its band.

How we tested

We reviewed Bajaj Finance's published rates, fees and Flexi-loan mechanics, cross-checked the lender against RBI NBFC records, and read recent borrower feedback across the Play Store and consumer forums. Conduct complaints are user-reported allegations, not adjudicated findings. Figures are accurate as of mid-2026 and are profile-dependent — always confirm your actual offer and a full charges breakdown before borrowing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What interest rate will I actually get from Bajaj Finserv?
The advertised 10% is a floor for top-tier profiles. The real range is 10%–31% p.a., and most borrowers — especially those near the 685 minimum CIBIL — land in the mid-teens to low-20s. Your rate depends on your CIBIL, income, employer, amount and tenure.
Can I get a Bajaj personal loan with a 685 CIBIL score?
Yes — 685 is Bajaj's stated minimum, which is more lenient than most banks. But approval at the low end of the score range usually means a higher interest rate, not the headline 10%.
What's the catch with the Bajaj Flexi Personal Loan?
Interest-only EMIs lower your monthly payment, not your total cost. Because the principal does not reduce during the interest-only phase, you typically pay more total interest than a normal reducing-balance loan — plus a separate annual Flexi facility/maintenance charge.
Does Bajaj add insurance or extra fees to the loan?
Some users report insurance or membership products and charges (such as a flexi fee or annual maintenance charge) being added without clear upfront disclosure. Read the sanction letter line by line and ask for a full charges breakdown before signing.
How fast is disbursal and what do I need to apply?
Disbursal is typically within 24 hours of approval. You generally need KYC (Aadhaar/PAN), recent salary slips and/or bank statements, and you must meet the age (21–59), income (₹35,000/month) and CIBIL (685) criteria.
