Can commercial banks penalize me for prepaying my home loan?

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

Maintaining the regular EMI and shortening the loan duration saves far more total money. Lowering the EMI reduces immediate monthly pressure but keeps the loan compounding for the full 20 years.
