Frequently Asked Questions

At 8.5% interest over 20 years, a ₹1 Crore loan works out to roughly ₹86,782/month. Your actual EMI depends on the rate and tenure your lender offers, use the calculator above to test different combinations.
How much total interest will I pay on a ₹1 Crore loan?
Over 20 years at 8.5%, total interest on a ₹1 Crore loan comes to about ₹1,08,27,758, meaning you'd repay roughly ₹2,08,27,758 in total. Choosing a shorter tenure reduces this significantly, see the tenure table above.
How much does the interest rate matter on a ₹1 Crore loan?
A lot. Over the same 20-year tenure, moving from 8.5% to 12% raises the EMI on a ₹1 Crore loan from ₹86,782 to ₹1,10,109/month. Even a 1-2% difference in the rate you're quoted is worth negotiating or comparing across lenders before signing.
Can I prepay a ₹1 Crore loan early?
Most lenders allow prepayment or foreclosure, often after a short lock-in period, sometimes with a charge on floating-rate loans (though RBI rules waive this for individual borrowers on floating-rate loans from banks and NBFCs). Prepaying even a small lump sum early in the tenure saves disproportionately more interest, since more of each early EMI goes toward interest than principal.
