Processing fees, late payment charges are so much that the loan becomes expensive. If you are in debt even for small things, then it also has a bad effect on CIBIL / credit score.
By taking a loan for a long time, a large part of your income is spent only on EMI. Due to this, 30-40% of the monthly salary or even more sometimes goes in paying EMI of different loans only.
