Who can apply for the HBL PersonalLoan?
The loan is restricted to salaried individuals whose salary is credited to an HBL account, with a minimum monthly salary of Rs. 35,000. You must be at least 21 when you apply and no older than 61 when the loan matures. Pensioners qualify under a separate rule: a pension of at least Rs. 35,000 credited to HBL for the last three months, a maximum age of 65 at maturity and a maximum loan of Rs. 1,000,000.
If you meet the criteria, the amount is decided by the bank according to your income, existing obligations and repayment capacity, within the bank’s range of Rs. 25,000 up to Rs. 3 million. Approval is not automatic; HBL evaluates every application.

A piece of advice for you!
Decide the tenure with the exit costs in mind. Because early settlement costs 7% of the outstanding balance and partial payments are limited and charged at 5%, choosing a tenure that is too long and hoping to prepay later is expensive. Choose the shortest tenure whose instalment you can carry comfortably.
Keep enough balance in the salary account on the debit date. A late payment costs Rs. 1,250 each time, plus FED, and is reported to the eCIB, which will follow you to every future application.
And use the top-up facility with care: after twelve months you can ask for more, but that means a new evaluation and a new schedule. The loan is a tool for a specific goal, not a running line of credit.
What are the charges of the HBL PersonalLoan?
As published by HBL: a one-time processing fee of 1.25% of the loan with a minimum of Rs. 6,000, halved for women account holders; markup fixed for the tenure, up to 35.99% per annum depending on the customer category; early settlement charge of 7% of the outstanding amount; partial payment charge of 5% of the amount paid, not allowed in the first year, limited to six instalments and to one partial payment in the whole tenure; late payment charge of Rs. 1,250 per occurrence. Federal Excise Duty applies to all these charges, and the bank states that they are not reversible. The detailed schedule for each customer category is in the Schedule of Bank Charges for HBL PersonalLoans on the HBL website.
How to apply for the HBL PersonalLoan?
Open HBL Mobile, choose PersonalLoan, select the amount and tenure and submit; the application is evaluated and you receive the decision by SMS, typically within two days, with no forms or documents. If you prefer a branch, take your CNIC and salary slip to any HBL branch in Pakistan; processing takes two to five working days after the documents are complete. The amount is credited to your account and the instalments are debited from it automatically.
