Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are loan processing fees and prepayment charges?
A Processing Fee is a one-time non-refundable administrative fee charged by banks (usually 0.5% to 2% of the loan amount + 18% GST) when processing your loan application. According to RBI rules, banks cannot charge any Foreclosure / Prepayment penalty on floating rate home loans taken by individuals, though fixed-rate and personal loans may carry 2% to 5% prepayment charges.
What is the difference between Fixed and Floating Interest Rates?
In a Fixed Interest Rate loan, the interest rate remains unchanged throughout the entire loan tenure regardless of market fluctuations. In a Floating Interest Rate loan (linked to RBI's Repo Rate or bank's EBLR/MCLR), your interest rate and monthly EMI will rise or fall periodically in line with central bank monetary policy changes.
How much of my monthly salary should go towards loan EMIs?
Financial advisors recommend following the 50-30-20 rule or keeping your total Debt-to-Income (DTI) ratio below 40%. This means your combined monthly EMIs across all loans (home, auto, personal, credit cards) should ideally not exceed 40% of your take-home monthly salary to ensure healthy liquidity and emergency preparedness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an amortization schedule?
An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off.
Can paying extra reduce my loan tenure?
Yes, making extra principal payments reduces your outstanding balance faster, which decreases the total interest charged and shortens the overall loan tenure.
