India's Debt Dilemma: Credit fueled dreams crushed by debt crisis.
India's economic growth relies heavily on access to credit, empowering individuals and MSMEs to improve their quality of life and contribute significantly to the GDP and exports. However, this reliance on debt poses risks, with household debt reaching 39% of GDP and rising non-performing assets (NPAs) in both personal and MSME loans. Effective debt management is crucial to prevent a cycle of overspending and financial instability, underscoring the importance of responsible borrowing and financial education.
What is Debt Trap?
A debt trap is a situation where an individual or entity finds themselves unable to repay their existing debts. This often leads to taking on more debt to cover the previous ones, creating a vicious cycle that's difficult to escape.
Key characteristics of a debt trap
Accumulating debt
A constant increase in debt over time.
Difficulty in repayment
Income is insufficient to cover debt obligations.
High-interest rates
Exorbitant interest charges exacerbate the problem.
Limited options
Few viable solutions to break free from the cycle.
Devastating Impact of Debt
Debt is a burden that extends far beyond the financial realm, profoundly impacting the mental, physical, and social well-being of individuals and families. The search results paint a grim picture of the multifaceted challenges faced by those struggling with debt.

Good Debt vs Bad Debt: Understanding the Difference
The concept of “good debt” and “bad debt” is crucial for individuals to grasp when managing their finances. Knowing the distinction between the two can help you make informed decisions and achieve your financial goals.
Good Debt
Debt that is used to finance assets that appreciate in value or generate income over time.
Examples:
– Mortgage loans for a primary residence
– Student loans for higher education
– Business loans for investments in equipment or expansion
Good debt can help you build wealth and achieve your long-term financial goals. It is considered an investment in your future.
When managed responsibly, good debt can be a valuable tool in your financial arsenal.
Bad Debt
Bad debt is debt that is unlikely to be repaid by the borrower due to high-interest rates, bad management, or unforeseen circumstances.
Examples:
– Credit card debt for non-essential purchases
– Personal loans for vacations or other discretionary spending
– Payday loans with high-interest rates
Bad debt can lead to a vicious cycle of debt, high-interest payments, and financial stress.
Bad debt should be avoided or paid off as quickly as possible to maintain a healthy financial standing.
