Buying Electronics on EMI: Should You or Shouldn’t You?

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: Indian Money Knowledge

E-commerce giants and retail chains woo consumers with no-cost EMI offers on smartphones, laptops, or gadgets. While enticing, hidden processing fees or forced add-on costs can inflate final payments. Students should weigh product necessity, interest rates, and brand deals. Paying upfront may earn discounts, whereas EMIs spread the burden over months. A balanced approach—assessing affordability and genuine need—ensures that technology upgrades don’t trap buyers in unnecessary debt.
