Why Indian Decisions Exists: The Flat Rate Problem
Before launching Indian Decisions, Joy Maity worked directly with MSME loan applicants across West Bengal. A recurring pattern emerged: borrowers were signing loans at a quoted rate of "10% interest" and walking away without understanding whether that was a flat rate or a reducing balance rate. The difference is not minor. On a ₹15 lakh loan over 5 years, a 10% flat rate costs approximately ₹1.7 lakh more in total interest than a 10% reducing balance rate — yet both are marketed identically.
Indian Decisions was built to close that gap. The platform's first tool was the Flat vs Reducing Rate Calculator — which proves in real numbers why the RBI mandates reducing balance for all scheduled commercial bank loans. Every other calculator followed from the same principle: give Indian borrowers the same calculation clarity their bank already has, for free.
Whether you are a salaried employee in Hyderabad checking home loan affordability, a small business owner in Surat planning MSME expansion, or a student in Pune comparing education loan repayment schedules — these tools exist so you can verify every figure before you sign.

Joy Maity — Founder & Financial Tools Developer
Joy Maity is the founder and developer of Indian Decisions. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) from the University of Calcutta and spent several years working directly with MSME loan applications before building this platform.
The specific trigger for Indian Decisions was a single encounter: a small business owner in West Bengal was about to sign a ₹15 lakh working capital loan at a quoted rate of 10% — which was actually a flat rate, translating to an effective 18.5% reducing balance rate. The lender's representative had not explained the difference. That conversation led directly to the Flat vs Reducing Rate Calculator, and then to the full suite of 15+ tools.
Today, Joy reviews and updates every rate table when the RBI announces repo rate changes, verifies calculator results against official bank tools monthly, and personally responds to every calculator suggestion submitted through the contact form.
No Banks. No Commissions. No Conflicts.
Indian Decisions is not affiliated with any bank, NBFC, housing finance company, or financial institution. The platform has received no commission, referral fee, or sponsored placement fee from any lender since launch.
When a financial platform earns from lender referrals, the incentive to recommend higher-margin products becomes structural — even when unintentional. Indian Decisions has no revenue model. The calculators are free because accurate loan information should not cost money.
