For many people, especially first-time credit users and salaried employees, these platforms have become the default way to access personal loans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But with convenience also comes responsibility. Here\u2019s what every borrower should know about the rise of instant loan platforms in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_Are_Instant_Loan_Platforms\"><\/span><b>1.
