A personal loan means exactly that – it can be used for any personal need and there is no need to explain officially why it is being taken. Since there is no end-use tied to it, your eligibility does not depend on the purpose of the loan. This also means that you do not officially need to write down the reason why you are applying for a personal loan and how you intend to use it. However, you may be asked by your loan officer the purpose of taking a loan, since a lender always wants to make sure that you will be able to pay back the loan.
