Where a fee is quoted exclusive of tax, add 18% GST to get what you actually pay. Legal and technical valuation charges, CERSAI registration and any bundled insurance sit outside the processing fee and are quoted separately at sanction.
The fee against the rate
A fee only matters next to the rate it comes with. Axis Bank advertises this loan from 9.99% and can charge up to 22.00%, on a term of up to 7 years — the full picture is on the Axis Bank personal loan page, and the EMI calculator turns either end of that range into a monthly figure.

How it compares
Axis Bank is the joint cheapest of the 8 providers we track on the advertised rate — level with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and IDFC First Bank at 9.99%. Rank on the rate is not rank on the total cost: a lower rate with a heavier fee can still be the dearer loan on a small, short borrowing. Our best personal loans table ranks the whole set.
What moves this fee
Private sector bank. Floating retail loans are priced off an external benchmark, so RBI rate cuts pass through within a reset cycle.
Personal loan rate ranges are much wider than home loan ranges. The reason is simple: nothing backs the loan. There is no property to recover, so the rate has to cover the whole risk. A bank advertising from around 10% can quote more than double that to someone with a thin credit history.
The same applies to the fee: the published figure is a ceiling the bank may or may not apply in full, and where you land is set by your credit score and your income type rather than by bargaining. Before you apply, it is worth checking what lenders look for on a personal loan.
