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.
