Frequently Asked Questions

How is EMI calculated?

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N - 1], where P = Principal loan amount, R = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), N = Total number of monthly installments (years × 12).

What is the EMI for a ₹50 lakh home loan?

For ₹50 lakh at 8.5% for 20 years, monthly EMI is approximately ₹43,391. Total interest paid: ~₹54.1 lakhs over the full tenure.

Does prepayment reduce EMI or tenure?

You can choose either. Reducing tenure saves more interest overall. Most banks allow prepayment without penalty on floating-rate home loans (per RBI guidelines).

What are current home loan rates in India?

Home loan rates in 2026 range from 8.25% to 9.5%. SBI, HDFC, and ICICI offer competitive rates for borrowers with CIBIL scores above 750.

Longer or shorter loan tenure — which is better?

Shorter tenure = higher EMI but much less total interest. A ₹50L loan costs ₹19.3L interest over 15 years vs ₹38L over 30 years. Ideal EMI should be 30-40% of monthly income.

Tips for Reducing Your EMI

Consider making a larger down payment to reduce principal. Opt for a floating rate if you expect interest rates to decrease. Making part-prepayments annually can significantly reduce total interest. Maintain a good CIBIL score (750+) to negotiate better interest rates with your lender.
