Funds received from a personal loan can be used for various things. You could use the personal loan amount to pay for unexpected medical bills, financing your dream vacation, or buying that gadget you always wanted. It is easier to get a personal loan if you receive your salary directly in your bank account as your bank statements will be proof of your loan repayment capability. But, to get a personal loan against salary that you receive in cash could be slightly tricky. However, it is not impossible for you to get a personal loan against a cash salary. Read on to know about the ways in which you can get a personal loan against your cash salary.

How to Apply for Personal Loan Against Cash Salary

• Submit Income Tax Returns: You can submit your yearly income tax returns as proof of your capacity to earn. This should help the bank understand your ability to repay your loan as per the agreed-upon repayment terms.
  
• Provide Bank Statements: If you are someone who deposits their cash salary into your savings account, you can prove your repayment capability by submitting your bank account statements. You may have to submit your statements going back anywhere between 3-6 months, depending on the internal policy of the lender.
  
• Get a Letter From Your Employer: Alternatively, you can prove that you are earning regular income from an established firm by submitting a letter attested by your employer. Keep in mind that the letter must be on the official letterhead of the company and must clearly state that your salary is paid in cash along with the amount. This document, too, can act as income proof for you while applying for a personal loan against cash salary.
  
• Submit Employment Letter/Salary Slips/Offer Letter: If you are getting your salary in cash, it is quite possible that you are getting salary vouchers too. You can submit them as income proof while applying for a cash salary loan. Alternatively, you can even submit your offer letter and/or employment letter to the lender as they also include the net salary you receive in your hand on a monthly basis.

• Take a Loan Against Investments: If none of the above methods are an option, you can avail a cash salary loan by offering any of your investments as collateral. You can mortgage the home that you own (also known as Loan Against Property), pledge your equity shares or mutual fund investments(also known as loan against securities), or any precious metals (gold/silver) as collateral for the same.
