Frequently asked questions
At a typical 8.5% rate over 20 years, the EMI on a ₹1 crore home loan is about ₹86,782 per month. Over the full tenure you repay ₹2.08Cr — ₹1.00Cr principal plus ₹1.08Cr in interest. A shorter 15-year tenure raises the EMI to ₹98,474 but cuts total interest sharply; a 30-year tenure lowers it to ₹76,891.
Over 20 years at 8.5%, the interest on a ₹1 crore loan is about ₹1.08Cr — that is 108% of the amount borrowed, on top of the principal. Interest is front-loaded: the early EMIs are mostly interest, the later ones mostly principal, which is why prepaying early saves the most.
No — it only lowers the monthly EMI, not the cost. A longer tenure stretches interest over more years, so you pay far more in total. The table above shows the trade-off: the EMI falls as the tenure rises, but total interest climbs. Pick the shortest tenure whose EMI you can comfortably afford.
They use the standard reducing-balance EMI formula at an indicative 8.5% rate. Your actual EMI depends on the rate your bank sanctions (which varies with your credit profile and whether it is fixed or floating), plus processing fees and insurance.
