  2. Keep total EMIs below 30% of your income
  3. Prefer short-term loans to save on interest
  4. Avoid multiple loans at the same time
  5. Don’t take loan just because it’s pre-approved
  6. Always compare interest rates from 3–4 lenders
  7. Check hidden charges, not just EMI
  8. Choose fixed EMI dates matching salary day
  9. Read full sanction letter & terms
  10. Pay 1 EMI in advance if possible — boosts trust

🛡️ Bonus Tip

Avoid loan app traps. Go only with RBI-registered NBFCs or trusted banks.


Conclusion

A loan can build your life or break your peace. Use it as a tool — not a trap.
