Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EMI?
An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a fixed payment amount made by a borrower to a lender on a specified date each calendar month. Each EMI payment is split between reducing the principal balance and paying monthly interest charges.
Why is more interest paid in the early years of a loan?
Because monthly interest is calculated against the remaining principal balance. Early in the loan term, your balance is highest, so the interest portion dominates your EMI. As you pay down principal over time, interest charges shrink.
How does loan tenure affect total interest?
A longer loan tenure lowers your required monthly EMI payment because payments are spread over more months. However, compounding interest over a longer period drastically increases the total cumulative interest paid over the life of the loan.
How can I reduce my overall EMI or total interest?
You can lower your monthly commitment or save on interest by making a larger down payment, securing a lower annual interest rate, or making extra lump-sum/monthly principal prepayments.
