The Basilica of Bom Jesus is part of the Churches and Convents of Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dress modestly for church and temple visits.
Worked example: Ankita in Bengaluru
Ankita is 29 and works as a salaried UX designer in Bengaluru. She earns Rs. 68,000 a month and has a CIBIL score of 763. She plans a Goa trip with her husband for their anniversary, pays Rs. 20,000 from savings and borrows Rs. 48,000 through an Insta Personal Loan, at an illustrative 16.5% per annum. She compares the equated monthly instalment (EMI) over 2 tenures.
EMI = P × R × (1 + R)^N ÷ [(1 + R)^N − 1]. P is the loan amount in rupees, R is the annual rate divided by 12 and by 100, and N is the tenure in months. The formula spreads the principal and interest into equal monthly payments, so early EMIs carry more interest and later ones more principal. All figures are rounded to the nearest rupee.
| Tenure | Monthly EMI (Rs.) | Total interest (Rs.) | EMI as share of salary (%) |
|---|
| 12 months (1 year) | 4,366 | 4,397 | 6.4 |
| 18 months (1.5 years) | 3,028 | 6,512 | 4.5 |

The 18-month option lowers the EMI by Rs. 1,338 but adds Rs. 2,115 in interest. The processing fee on Rs. 48,000 is up to Rs. 1,982. Ankita picks 12 months (1 year), so the Goa trip is paid off before their next anniversary.
