    Dear Mr.Ashal Jauhari,
    Thank you so much for your reply. Regular loan-I would like to go to prevailing market (base) rate.I feel SBT base rate +2.5 % is high for the rest of the home loan period.

    Your suggestion on increasing EMI a bit seems to be affordable.After going through this blog forum , i understand it may help reduce in loan period, Am i right?

    Thanking you once again,

    1. Dear Apna Bala, Please check with your bank. By paying a nominal fee around 0.5 to 1% of your O/S loan amount + service tax there on, you can switch over to a new rate say base + 1% depending upon the bank’s policy for such switch over.

      It’s very much possible with most of the bank.

      As of now your interest rate is already lower (also fixed) so I w’d like you to keep the things as it is as of now. Opt for interest rate switch over at the end of fixed rate term. say 1-2 month early.

      Thanks

  3. Dear Apna bala, Can you elaborate on this regular loan thing? If you are prepaying only a partial amount, there should not be any penalty on you.

    If your cashflow permits, you can even opt to increase your EMI a bit say 12K instead of 10K earlier.

    Thanks

    Ashal
