Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
EMI prepayment means paying an extra amount towards your loan principal, over and above your regular EMI. This reduces your outstanding principal and saves interest.
Prepayment reduces the principal amount, which in turn reduces the interest calculated on it. This leads to either lower EMIs or shorter loan tenure.
Early in the loan tenure (first 1/3rd) gives maximum interest savings as interest component is higher initially.
Most home loans allow partial prepayment without charges. However, some lenders charge 2-4% on floating rate loans. Always check with your bank.
Reducing tenure saves more interest as principal reduces faster. Reducing EMI gives better cash flow but pays more interest overall.
Part prepayment pays extra while continuing the loan. Foreclosure closes the entire loan with one payment, often with charges.
