" Avoid borrowing beyond your means, even if the interest rates seem appealing. While festive offers can trim expenses, it's vital to exercise prudence. Refrain from impulsive purchases—create a list of essentials and buy only if the deal is favourable. Many banks extend pre-approved loans and credit cards to their current customers, often with more favourable terms compared to standard offers," said Adhil Shetty, CEO of Bankbazaar.
