SBI uses internal scoring (relationship banking, salary credits, account activity) to issue pre-approved offers. These are visible in YONO or through account messages. Pre-approved offers typically avoid initial documentation, but final underwriting may still request bank statements or identity checks. Accept the offer in-app, upload any required documents, sign e-mandates, and get fast disbursal on verification. To increase chances: maintain salary credits in SBI, reduce outstanding liabilities, keep a healthy credit score, and ensure KYC records up-to-date.
Pre-approved offers reduce time to disbursal and sometimes carry better pricing. However, always review the full loan schedule, processing fee, and all embedded charges. A pre-approved amount may be tempting but choose tenor and EMI that fit your cashflow.
