What is revolving credit
Revolving credit is a way to borrow money using a credit card or a loan line. It means you do not have to pay everything back at once. You can pay a small part each month, but you have to pay extra money called interest.
What the RBI is proposing
The Reserve Bank of India, which is the main bank that controls all other banks in the country, wants to set new limits. They want to make sure people do not borrow more money than they can afford to pay back.
- The RBI checks how banks lend money to regular people.
- New rules will help stop people from getting into too much debt.
- Banks will need to follow stricter safety steps.
Why this matters
These new ideas help keep money safe for everyone. When people do not borrow too much, the country's money system stays strong and healthy.
