Diwali Loans for Indians to boost the economy

Over the past few months, India’s economy has taken a steep decline due to the global pandemic. The Central government had declared a nationwide lockdown to prevent the contagious COVID-19 virus following which hundreds and thousands of people lost jobs and even their homes. While many are slowly jumping back to their tracks, there are still people who require boosters to get back.
