Pre-payment of a Home Loan is a great way to pay a part or the whole amount of your housing loan before its tenure is completed. It is popular among borrowers who have surplus funds. It gives them a chance to manage and reduce their principal amount proactively. Overall, it's a strategic financial move that helps borrowers to take control of their loan repayment timeline or EMIs payable.
Part payment of a Home Loan occurs when you use surplus funds to pay a portion of your Home Loan but not the entirety of the amount outstanding. By depositing this surplus into your loan account, you reduce the unpaid principal. It helps reduce the principal amount and lightens the interest load, reducing your overall EMI burden. It's a smart financial move to consider part payment whenever you have surplus funds. Learn more about it with our Part Payment Calculator. It can help you calculate your EMI with part payment and make informed financial decisions.
