Repay Home Loans in India without stressing your wallet


A lot of people buy their dream home with the help of some finance from Bank or Financial institue (home loan). Typically 80% people who opt for a home loan, end up paying almost double the amount as compared to the total home loan value. For example, if you have a home loan of amount 20,00,000 or 20 Lakh for a tenure of 20 years at 10.15% interest rate, then your EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) will be 19,500. If you continue paying the same amount for 20 years, total amount paid to the bank is approx. ₹ 46,50,000 or ₹ 46.5 Lakh ( more than double the loan amount ). Below is the screenshot with all the necessary details and analysis.

Its simple, even a small 5% increase in the EMI every year can reduce your home loan tenure by 8 years. The borrower should increase the EMI paid to the bank by ₹ 1000 every year.  Below is the chart:
