Tips to Improve Your DTI Ratio
Increase Your Income
Consider side gigs, freelancing, or asking for a raise. Even a small increase can significantly improve your DTI ratio.
Pay Down Existing Debt
Focus on paying off high-interest debts first. In India, credit card APRs often exceed 30-40%.
Avoid New Debt
Postpone major purchases that would require financing until your DTI improves.

In India, lenders typically prefer:

DTI Ratio = (Total Monthly Debt Payments ÷ Gross Monthly Income) × 100
Example: If you earn ₹1,00,000/month and have ₹35,000 in debt payments, your DTI is 35%.
Most lenders include these recurring debts in DTI calculation:
- Home loan EMIs
