Frequently Asked Questions

How is home loan EMI calculated?

EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n - 1), where P is principal, r is monthly interest rate (annual/12), n is tenure in months. A ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% for 20 years = ₹43,391 EMI.

What is the maximum home loan I can get?

Banks typically offer 75-90% of property value. Eligibility is based on income (EMI shouldn't exceed 40-50% of net salary), age, existing debts, and credit score. Higher income and lower debts mean higher eligibility.

Should I choose a longer or shorter loan tenure?

Shorter tenure = higher EMI but much less total interest. 20-year loan on ₹50 lakh at 8.5% costs ₹54.14 lakh interest; 10-year costs ₹23.19 lakh. Choose based on affordability and long-term cost savings.

What is the difference between fixed and floating interest rates?

Fixed rates stay constant throughout tenure. Floating rates change with market conditions. Floating is typically 0.5-1% lower initially and benefits from rate cuts. Most Indian home loans are floating rate.

How can I reduce my home loan interest burden?

Make prepayments when possible, opt for shorter tenure, maintain good credit score for lower rates, consider balance transfer to lower-rate lenders, and claim tax deductions on principal (80C) and interest (24b).
