Socho! Salary ₹50,000… Aur Loan ₹20 Lakh!
Income mismatch, hidden interest, and EMI miscalculations often lead to defaults. Learn to borrow smartly, manage EMIs wisely, and protect yourself from recovery harassment using RBI guidelines and legal support.
“Yeh sirf EMI ka game nahi, yeh ek financial time bomb hai jo kabhi bhi phat sakta hai!”
Aap soch rahe ho — “EMI manageable hai.”
Lekin RBI ke norms ke hisaab se, agar aapki EMI aapki income ke 40% se upar gayi,
toh aap high-risk borrower ban jaate ho.
Matlab?
Default hone ka chance 3 guna badh jaata hai.
Aur guess karo?
India mein personal loan defaults ka sabse bada reason yahi hai — income mismatch.
EMI Sirf Amount Nahi, Ek Responsibility Hai
Sabse badi galti jo log karte hain — wo sirf EMI dekhte hain, total repayment nahi.
Example: ₹20 lakh ka loan, 10 saal ke liye — aapko wapas karne padte hain ₹34–35 lakh!
Ye hidden interest cost banks highlight nahi karte.
Jab EMI miss hoti hai, tab shuru hoti hai asli picture — recovery calls, relatives ko disturb karna, aur harassment.
Don’t ignore your rights —
RBI ke rules ke hisaab se recovery agent aapko raat 7 ke baad disturb nahi kar sakta.
Ye aapka legal right hai.

Reality Check: The EMI Red Flag
“Socho — salary ₹50,000 aur loan ₹20 lakh.
Yeh EMI ka red flag nahi, yeh ek toxic financial relationship hai.
Aaj loan lene mein hero banoge…
Kal recovery wale tumhari life ke villain ban jayenge.”

Conclusion
Loans can empower you — or trap you.
A ₹50,000 salary with a ₹20 lakh loan isn’t ambition, it’s imbalance.
Be aware, borrow wisely, and know your rights before you sign that “instant approval” form.
Because financial freedom doesn’t come from swiping a loan card,
It comes from controlling your EMIs before they control you.
