How does a ₹50 lakh home-loan prepayment work?
A home loan normally accrues interest on the outstanding principal. When an additional amount is credited toward principal, the outstanding balance falls faster. If the EMI is kept unchanged, the loan can finish earlier and the total interest paid decreases significantly.

Does an extra payment always reduce the loan tenure?
Not necessarily. The result depends on whether you choose to keep the EMI unchanged or recalculate a lower EMI. This calculator defaults to the tenure-reduction method which maximizes interest savings.
Are home-loan prepayment charges applicable?
As per RBI guidelines, banks cannot charge foreclosure or prepayment fees on floating-rate individual home loans. Check your loan agreement if you have a fixed-rate loan.
