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