Guidelines for Managing Loan EMIs Relative to Monthly Income
Experts advise borrowers to carefully assess their monthly income and existing obligations before taking new loans. While lenders often consider total EMIs up to 50% of income, a common guideline is to keep EMIs below 30-50% to maintain financial comfort. Borrowers should factor in all debts, essential expenses, and potential future changes like interest rate hikes. Financial professionals emphasize creating a liquidity buffer and not relying solely on lender approvals to ensure manageable repayments over time.
