If the phone is under 2 years old and repair costs less than 40% of the phone's current value, repair is usually worth it. For a ₹25,000 phone, repair up to ₹10,000 makes financial sense. For a ₹8,000 budget phone, a ₹5,000 motherboard repair may not be worth it. The technician will advise after diagnosis.
