What Canara Bank asks for on personal, home, vehicle, education loans - age, income, credit score, amounts, rates and documents - read from its own pages and labelled by how sure we are. Last verified 2 November 2026.

How Canara Bank tends to lend (our read): Generous on quantum for the right employer - 25 months' gross salary on personal loans and no upper cap on housing loans - but the personal loan is an employer-category product (government/PSU under Prime, reputed corporates under Delight), not an open-market one. Lends in: Metro, Tier 2, Tier 3 / other locations.

Research notes

Canara Budget (scheme page): Prime for confirmed government, defence, PSU and autonomous-body staff up to Rs 50 lakh, Delight for confirmed employees of reputed corporates, MNCs, institutions and IT/BT firms up to Rs 40 lakh, at 25 months' gross salary, 1 year of confirmed service, take-home of at least 25% of salary or Rs 10,000 after all EMIs, tenure up to 84 months and spouse/legal-heir co-obligation. Age 21 to 60, the Rs 13,500 floor and the 750 preferred score are our assumptions because the scheme page publishes none, so the block is tagged inferred. Rate is the RLLR card 9.70% to 15.00% by route and credit grade (Delight grade 4 not eligible); card predates the Oct 2026 benchmark change; adjusted +0.25. Canara Ready Cash (existing payroll customers, CIC 700+, age 21 to 55, Rs 50,000 salary credit, Rs 50,000 to Rs 10 lakh, 12 to 60 months) is priced at 9.70% (RLLR) or 9.00% (fixed-premium card) before that adjustment.

Canara Housing Loan: no upper quantum limit, salaried up to 72x gross monthly salary (96x selectively) with 2 years' service including 6 months in the current job, self-employed up to 6x average annual income (8x selectively) with 3 years' ITR, entry age under 60 (older only jointly with an earning spouse/heir), closure by 75, tenure up to 30 years, margin 10% / 20% / 25% by ticket. The bank publishes no minimum age or income floor, so 21 and Rs 10,000 are our nominal values. Rate is the contracted-loan range 7.40% to 10.25% (mean 8.31%, from 12 Dec 2025); card predates the Oct 2026 benchmark change; adjusted +0.25. Canara Apna Ghar (age 21 to 60, income up to Rs 9 lakh, CIC 650+, 24 months of bank/UPI history, up to Rs 35 lakh metro) is a separate route not modelled. Tagged inferred because the income floor (and, where noted, the minimum age) is our value, not the bank's.

Research notes

Canara Vehicle publishes salaried gross Rs 3 lakh a year (Rs 25,000/month = 3 lakh / 12) and non-salaried Rs 3 lakh by latest ITR with a 3-year average of at least Rs 2.5 lakh, but no age window, score, experience or FOIR, so the block is inferred and engine defaults apply to age. New cars: no loan cap, up to 90% (margin 10% to Rs 10 lakh, 15% to Rs 25 lakh for non-government borrowers, 20% above), 84 months; used cars up to 3 years old: Rs 50 lakh cap, 60 months, and the page gives both a 50% margin and 60% of value, so the stricter 50% is used. Rate is the four-wheeler RLLR card (about 7.50%-10.70% at RLLR 8.00%) plus the 0.25 benchmark adjustment; the 12-month minimum tenure is our estimate.

Need-based with no published maximum; margin nil up to Rs 4 lakh, then 5% India / 15% abroad; EMI up to 15 years after course + 1 year.
