Taking too high EMI can cause financial stress. Let’s understand the right limit.

👉 EMI should not exceed 30%–40% of your monthly income.

For ₹50,000 salary:

• 30% → ₹15,000

So a safe EMI range is ₹15k–₹20k.

Why this matters

• you struggle with expenses
• no savings
• financial stress increases

Example

If your EMI is ₹25,000:

• 50% of your salary goes into loan
• very risky
