We spoke to Neha Nagar, fin-fluencer and CEO and founder of TaxationHelp.in, to help you plan a lavish wedding without emptying your account.
She said, “NRI marriage loans are a great way to finance your wedding. The process of applying for an NRI marriage loan is similar to the process of applying for any other type of loan.”
She said there are a few differences when it comes to submitting documents, but more than that it is crucial to compare the rate of interest and terms of different banks before you apply for the loan.
Wedding Loan For NRIs: Procedure To Apply
Here is a short guideline for NRIs to apply for marriage loans in Indian banks,
Pick The Right Bank
India is not a small country, and there are many banks offering marriage loans to NRIs. You should do thorough research to find a bank that offers a low rate of interest and has good terms for the applicants. You should prioritise your convenience when applying for a loan because, at the end of the day, you will be burdened with the task of repaying it.

You must have a good credit score
You must be an NRI with a valid passport and visa
You must have a co-applicant who is a resident of India
You must have a stable source of income
