EMI Calculation and Factors Affecting It
You can repay your loan in the form of equated monthly instalments (EMIs). The factors affecting your EMIs, which can be customised to suit your needs, can be understood in the simple rules below.
- Higher the loan amount greater the EMI.
- Higher the interest-rate higher the EMI.
- Longer the tenure, lower the EMI.
Example: A loan amount of Rs. 1 Lakh at 11.50%, for a tenure of 1 year will result in an EMI of Rs. 8, 862. If tenure changes to 5 years, the EMI reduces to Rs. 2,199. So, it is advisable to always opt for the lowest interest rate, longer tenure, and low pre-closure charges when applying for a loan. This allows you to get an affordable EMI and an option to pre-close when you can. Limit your loan amount to your need-only-basis and improve your CIBIL score before the loan application.
Remember that you cannot reschedule or postpone the EMI fixed on your Personal Loan account after it has been approved.
