If the interest rate is different

Rate	Monthly EMI	Total interest
7.5%	₹32,224	₹37,33,695
8%	₹33,458	₹40,29,825
8.5% (this page)	₹34,713	₹43,31,103
9%	₹35,989	₹46,37,369
9.5%	₹37,285	₹49,48,459

Even 0.5% less on the rate saves a lot over a long loan, so compare lenders and ask about rate reductions every year.

Good to know

Banks usually want all your EMIs under 40–50% of your take-home pay.
Part-payments early in the loan cut the most interest, because early EMIs are mostly interest.
Check the processing fee and any prepayment charges, not just the rate.
