Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Loan EMIs
An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.
Components of EMI
EMI consists of two components: principal repayment and interest payment. In the initial years of the loan, a larger portion of the EMI goes toward interest payments. As the loan tenure progresses, the interest component decreases while the principal component increases.
Factors Affecting EMI
Three main factors determine your EMI amount: loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. A higher loan amount or interest rate will increase your EMI, while a longer tenure will reduce it. However, a longer tenure means you'll pay more interest overall.
Types of Interest Rates
Loans can have fixed or floating interest rates. Fixed rates remain constant throughout the loan tenure, while floating rates change with market conditions. Fixed rates provide certainty but are usually higher than floating rates.
Prepayment and Foreclosure
Most lenders allow borrowers to make prepayments (partial payments) or foreclose (complete payment) the loan before the tenure ends. This can reduce the total interest paid. However, some lenders charge a prepayment penalty, especially on fixed-rate loans.
Tax Benefits
In India, home loans offer tax benefits under Section 80C for principal repayment and Section 24 for interest payment. Education loans also offer tax benefits under Section 80E. These benefits can significantly reduce the effective cost of borrowing.
