If a loan feels wrong, you're often right. A legal lender (a bank, an RBI-registered NBFC, or an app lending through one) must give you a Key Fact Statement with the real APR before you sign. You can report an unauthorised lender on the RBI Sachet portal (sachet.rbi.org.in), and report loan-app harassment on the national cyber crime helpline 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in.
Are these tools only for NRIs (Indians living abroad)?
No — these are built for people living and working in India right now. If you're abroad and want tools for remittance, DTAA, NRE/NRO accounts or sending money home, see the separate NRI Hub linked above. This page is for everyday money decisions inside India.
Do I need to sign up or give any personal details?
No. Nothing is collected. Every calculation happens on your own phone or computer — no login, no OTP, no data sent anywhere.
Are these tools available in Hindi and Kannada?
Yes. The Cab Driver Earnings Calculator and the True Interest Rate Calculator both switch fully between English, Hindi and Kannada with one tap — including the WhatsApp share message, so you can forward the right language to the right person.
What if I've been quoted a rate like 2 rupees per hundred per month?
That's a real, common way informal loans are quoted in India, and it sounds much smaller than it is — 2 rupees per hundred per month works out to roughly 24% a year, and some instant-loan apps work out to 1,000%+ a year once every fee is counted. Use the True Interest Rate Calculator to convert whatever you were quoted into one honest yearly number.
