Overview and Purpose This questionnaire helps the user evaluate whether taking on a new loan is financially prudent given their current income, existing obligations, emergency reserves, and the nature of the loan. It applies to home loans, car loans, personal loans, education loans, and business loans. The primary output is a traffic-light recommendation based on established Indian banking benchmarks. The Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio is the central metric used to assess loan affordability. The questionnaire also assesses emergency fund adequacy, income stability, loan purpose, and the number of financial dependants.
