Calculating…

Can my bank penalize me for prepaying my home loan?

No. Under RBI guidelines, commercial banks, housing finance companies (HFCs), and NBFCs cannot charge foreclosure or prepayment fees on floating-rate individual housing loans.

Keeping your EMI unchanged and reducing loan tenure consistently saves significantly more total interest. Reducing EMI only lowers monthly cash strain but extends interest compounding over the full original duration.
