Frequently Asked Questions
EMI = P × r × (1+r)ⁿ / [(1+r)ⁿ − 1], where P = principal loan amount, r = monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), n = total months. For ₹25 lakh at 10.5%, the EMI varies by tenure — see the comparison table above.
Yes — prepayment reduces the principal balance, which significantly reduces total interest paid. Even a small prepayment in early years (when most EMI goes toward interest) can save lakhs in interest and reduce tenure by months to years.
Business loan interest paid for MSME/business purposes is fully deductible as a business expense under Section 36 of the Income Tax Act.
