Home loans in India typically operate on a reducing balance basis with floating interest rates pegged to RBI repo rates (EBLR - External Benchmark Lending Rate).
Making a lump sum prepayment equal to just 1 extra EMI every year can reduce a 20-year home loan duration to approximately 17 years, saving lakhs of rupees in interest.
Consider a home loan of ₹50 Lakhs at 8.5% interest rate for 20 years. Your monthly EMI is ₹43,391, and the total interest paid over 20 years is ₹54.1 Lakhs (more than the principal amount!).
By prepaying 5% of the outstanding principal balance once a year, you can save over ₹22 Lakhs in total interest and reduce your tenure by 8 years. Always verify if your bank charges prepayment penalties (most public and private sector banks in India do not charge prepayment penalties on floating interest rate home loans).
