Frequent calls for personal loan or auto loan — saviour or loan shark in disguise? Keep these things in mind before you borrow

How much charge on future income one can afford is a personal financial question that the borrower alone can answer. The lender can look at your assets or income and propose how much he will lend. Discount the ‘loan eligibility’ worked out by the borrower. Do your homework about how much you can pay every month. Even if the lender masks your eligibility as a privilege, it is not. You borrow, you repay.
