Frequently Asked Questions
How does paying 1 extra EMI every year reduce my home loan?
Paying just 1 extra EMI per year directly reduces your principal balance. Because mortgage interest compounds monthly on the remaining balance, reducing the principal early cuts compounding cycles, shortening a 30-year home loan by 4 to 6 years and saving up to 25% in total interest costs.
Can I choose which month to pay the extra EMI?
Yes. Most borrowers use an annual work bonus, Diwali/Christmas incentive, or tax refund to make the 13th payment. Making the extra payment earlier in the year is slightly more beneficial as it starts reducing interest charges sooner.
Is there any prepayment penalty on paying an extra EMI for home loans?
In India, RBI mandates zero prepayment penalty on all floating-rate individual home loans. In the US, UK, Australia, and Canada, standard residential mortgages allow extra principal payments without penalty (subject to annual allowances like 10-20%).
Should I reduce tenure or reduce EMI when paying extra EMIs?
Choosing Reduce Tenure maximizes your interest savings and helps you become debt-free years sooner. Choosing Reduce EMI keeps your loan term the same while lowering your monthly required cash outflow.
