Too much interest

RBI also warned
Banks, non-banking financial companies registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), can be offered a loan legally on their behalf. Apart from this, registered units with state governments can also offer loans.
Last month, the RBI gave warning to individuals and small industries. SBI had said that in any way, avoid falling prey to unauthorized digital platforms.
According to RBI, the loan offered on these platforms has a higher interest rate, many types of charges are hidden, there are ways of recovery which are not acceptable and also the borrowers. By using data on mobile phones of individuals, agreements are misused.
