Why Prepaying a ₹75 Lakh Home Loan Saves Over ₹23 Lakhs
On a ₹75,00,000 home loan at 8.5% over 20 years, your total interest payout alone comes to over ₹81.20 Lakhs—meaning you pay more than the original loan principal borrowed in interest charges alone. By prepaying an extra ₹7,500 each month directly toward principal, you eliminate nearly 5 years of compounding interest cycles from the tail end of your amortization schedule.

Should I choose to reduce EMI or reduce tenure?
Retaining your regular monthly EMI and reducing the loan tenure delivers significantly higher total interest savings. Reducing EMI lowers monthly cash outflow but leaves interest compounding over the entire original 20-year period.
