Unexpected Expenses? How to Build a Quick Emergency Fund

Vizzve Admin

Car repair? Medical emergency? Unpaid rent?
Life hits hard when you least expect it—and your wallet may not be ready.

Most Indians face at least 3 unplanned expenses a year, and without a buffer, it often leads to borrowing at high interest or missing EMIs.

💡 That’s why building an emergency fund is one of the smartest financial moves you can make—and you can start today, even with a modest salary.

Let Vizzve Finance show you how.

Why You Need an Emergency Fund

🚨 Medical emergencies

🚘 Unexpected travel or vehicle repair

🧾 Job loss or delayed salary

🧑‍🎓 Family responsibilities

💡 Bill spikes or tech/device breakdowns

Without a fund, most turn to:

Credit cards at 36–42% interest

Unreliable lenders

Delaying essential payments (hurting credit)

Instead, build a cushion that protects—not punishes—you.

How Much Should Your Emergency Fund Be?

Minimum: 1 month of expenses (quick buffer)
Ideal: 3–6 months of monthly expenses (long-term safety net)

👉 If your monthly expenses are ₹25,000, aim for at least ₹75,000–₹1,00,000 over time.

How to Build a Quick Emergency Fund—Even with a Tight Budget

1. Start Small—Even ₹500/Week Works

Every rupee counts. You don’t need a lump sum—just consistency.

📲 Use Vizzve’s “Auto-Save” to round up every spend (ex: ₹93 auto-saves ₹7) to your emergency fund.

2. Cut 3 Small Expenses for 90 Days

Trim things like:

Weekly takeouts 🍕

OTT subscriptions 📺

Impulse online purchases 🛒

Then, redirect that money into your fund.

💡 Vizzve’s Budgeting Tool shows exactly where you're overspending.

3. Set Up a Dedicated Emergency Wallet

Keep your emergency fund separate from your regular account to avoid accidental spending.

💼 Vizzve’s Emergency Wallet feature auto-locks the money for crisis-only use.

4. Use Instant Loans Wisely in Emergencies

While you’re building the fund, Vizzve’s Instant Salary Loan can be a safe bridge.

Disbursal in under 10 minutes
