Should I choose 'Reduce Tenure' or 'Reduce EMI'?+
Reduce Tenure saves maximum interest because your monthly payment stays high while your principal drops rapidly. Reduce EMI lowers your monthly commitment, which helps if your priority is increasing monthly disposable income or cash flow flexibility.
Are there prepayment penalties on home loans in India?+
Under Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulations, banks and housing finance companies (HFCs) cannot charge prepayment or foreclosure penalties on floating-rate individual home loans. However, fixed-rate loans or loans to business entities may attract charges of 1% to 3% plus GST.
How effective are small recurring monthly prepayments?+
Even an extra ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 paid each month toward principal can shave 3 to 6 years off a standard 20-year home loan, saving several lakhs in interest over the life of the loan.
