If you are short on cash and urgently need money to cover your shortfall, then one of the most viable options you can explore is taking out a personal loan. A personal loan can be taken out for a variety of reasons, including a wedding, a vacation, buying a luxury item for your loved one, or even for an emergency.
While you can approach a bank or an NBFC for a personal loan, there are also a dozen mobile applications (apps) that allow users to take out a personal loan instantly – some even claim to be able to disburse the loan within 10 minutes.
