Personal Loans for Defence Personnel

Lenders do not usually offer any special personal loan schemes for defence personnel. Hence, defence personnel can avail the regular personal loans for financing their personal requirements. Some lenders offer concessional interest rates to personal loan applicants employed with armed forces and paramilitary forces. Note, many lenders also allow defence personnel to avail special personal loan schemes meant for government employees.
