Frequently asked questions

Can I overpay my home loan without a penalty?+

On floating-rate home loans, yes — RBI rules bar prepayment penalties for individual borrowers, so there's no allowance to check. Fixed-rate loans, and other loan types like car or personal loans, may still charge a 2–5% foreclosure fee, so check your specific agreement.

Is it better to overpay my loan or save the money instead?+

Compare your loan's interest rate against the after-tax return you'd earn saving instead. Overpaying an 8.5% loan is a guaranteed, tax-free 8.5% return; if your investments reliably beat that after tax, saving may be the better choice, but few safe options do.

Does overpaying reduce my EMI or my loan term?+

This depends on your lender's policy — most keep your required EMI the same and let overpayments shorten the term (which this calculator models, and which saves the most total interest); some lenders let you choose to instead reduce the EMI while keeping the original term.

What is a good amount to overpay each month?+

Any consistent amount helps, but the earlier and larger the overpayment, the more it saves, since it compounds against a bigger remaining balance. Even ₹2,000–₹5,000 a month on a typical Indian home loan can save lakhs and multiple years — use the calculator above with your own numbers.

Should I overpay my home loan or pay off other debt first?+

Pay off higher-interest debt (credit cards, personal loans) before overpaying a home loan — home loan rates are usually the lowest form of debt you hold, so other debts cost you more per rupee and should be cleared first.
