Questions people ask

What is the EMI on ₹20 lakh for 5 years?
About ₹45,506 a month at 13%. Stretching from 3 to 5 years cuts the EMI by ₹21,882 but adds ₹3.04 L of interest.
What salary do I need for a ₹20 lakh personal loan?
Lenders typically cap all your EMIs at 40–50% of take-home pay. For ₹67,388 a month with no other loans, that means an in-hand salary of roughly ₹1,49,751 — and many banks set a minimum of ₹25,000 a month.
What other charges are there?
A processing fee of 1–3% plus 18% GST is common — about ₹47,200 at 2% on ₹20 lakh, usually cut from the amount you receive. Some lenders also charge for closing the loan early.
Personal loan or credit card?
A personal loan at 11–16% is far cheaper than carrying a credit-card balance at 36–45% a year. If card debt is piling up, a loan to clear it in one go can save a lot — as long as the card stays paid off afterwards.
