Personal Loan Top Up from ICICI Bank

ICICI Bank takes the initiative of offering additional loan amounts to existing customers: the process of increasing the prevalent loan is known as a personal loan “Top Up”.

The additional Loan amount is incorporated into the existing loan amount, thus the Personal Loan remains a single entity as an enhanced Loan.

So if a personal loan aspirant is not given the loan amount required he need not despair, as he can apply for a Top up after 3 months.

Alternately the applicant also has an option of taking a further loan amount as a Parallel Loan. The Parallel loan has no relation whatsoever with the existing & will be inducted as a new loan with a separate EMI.

Eligibility Criteria

All other credit facilities he has availed during this time period should also have a clean repayment record.
