Small adjustments in your loan repayment strategy can do wonders. Suppose, you have a loan of Rs 50 lakh at 9.50 per cent interest rate for 25 years, if you increase your monthly EMI by just 6.69 per cent, you can save nearly Rs 20 lakh in interest payments. This minor change may not feel important initially, but it can make a substantial difference in the long term by reducing your overall interest burden. By opting for a slightly higher EMI, you can shorten the loan tenure and reduce the amount of interest accrued. Therefore, let’s break down how this strategy works and why it can be a smart financial move.
