Vizzve Admin

2025 may be the year of high-speed UPI, easy BNPL, and "instant credit"...
But behind the convenience lies a silent dangerdebt traps.

Millions of Indians are unknowingly digging financial holes they can't climb out of.

Before it gets too deep, let Vizzve Finance help you recognize the red flags and escape with smart, actionable steps.

💡 What Is a Debt Trap, and Why It’s More Common in 2025?

A debt trap happens when your income isn’t enough to repay your loans — forcing you to take on more credit just to survive.

In 2025, it's easier than ever to:

Swipe now, think later

Tap UPI for non-essentials

Take payday loans at 30%+ interest

Use one credit card to pay another

Result? A cycle of interest, late fees, stress… and zero savings.

⚠️ 5 Red Flags You’re Falling into a Debt Trap

1. You’re Paying Only the Minimum Due on Credit Cards

This keeps you in debt forever. Interest keeps piling on.

2. You Don’t Know How Much You Owe in Total

If you can’t list your debts right now — it’s a problem.

3. You’re Borrowing to Pay Bills

Using credit to cover electricity, groceries, or rent? You're living beyond your means.

4. Your EMI Ratio Is More Than 40% of Your Income

Spending over 40% on EMIs = risk of defaulting during any emergency.

5. You Feel Anxious Every Time You Get a Loan Notification

Financial stress is real. If money talk gives you headac

hes — it’s time for change.
