What Your Bank Won't Tell You

Common practices that cost borrowers lakhs

HIGH SEVERITY

Processing fee traps

Banks often charge 1-2% upfront. On a 50L loan, that's ₹50,000-1,00,000 you pay before getting a single rupee.

HIGH SEVERITY

Teaser rate loans

Low initial rates that jump after 1-2 years. Your EMI could increase by 15-20% without warning.

HIGH SEVERITY

Mandatory insurance

Banks push expensive loan insurance. RBI says it's optional, but many won't tell you that.
