Loan Rejection Reasons Explained – And How You Can Avoid Them

blog cover page

Applying for a loan is already stressful, and getting rejected makes it worse. At Ashwini Finance, we’ve seen many people walk in confused about why their loan was rejected elsewhere. So we decided to put together a simple explanation of the most common reasons and how you can avoid them.

This is based on what we see every day while helping customers secure the right loan.

1. Low or Weak Credit Score

Your credit score tells lenders how responsibly you’ve handled money. If it’s low, approval becomes difficult.

How to avoid:

  • Pay EMIs and bills on time
  • Keep credit card usage under control
  • Check your credit report regularly

2. Too Many Existing EMIs

If most of your salary already goes into repaying loans, lenders may feel you’re financially stretched.

How to avoid:

  • Close smaller loans first
  • Improve your debt-to-income ratio
  • Avoid taking unnecessary credit

3. Income Mismatch in Documents

This is more common than people realise. If your claimed income doesn’t match your payslips, bank statements, or ITR, lenders reject the application.

How to avoid:

  • Keep all financial documents updated
  • Make sure your income reflects clearly in statements
  • Self-employed? File ITR regularly

4. Frequent Job or Business Changes

Lenders prefer stability. Too many job switches or unstable business income can be a red flag.

How to avoid:

  • Apply after spending some stable time in your job
  • For business owners: maintain steady deposits for a few months

5. Mistakes in the Application

Even a small error ,  like a wrong PAN digit or mismatched address can lead to rejection.

How to avoid:

  • Double-check every detail
  • Ensure KYC documents match your application
