I need to finance a purchase of ₹1,50,000. Should I convert the transaction to credit card EMI or take a personal loan? Which is actually cheaper after all charges?

Tip from someone who made this mistake: never max out the credit limit in the first 6 months. Banks track utilisation, and high utilisation right after approval often triggers a credit limit decrease or even an account review.
