Lenders often specify a minimum amount for partial prepayments, like three EMIs, but many do not set a maximum limit. Check your lender’s specific terms.

How much can I save on interest by making a prepayment?

The interest saved depends on the prepayment amount, loan tenure, and interest rate. Use an online prepayment calculator to estimate savings.

Can I make prepayments if I take the loan at a fixed interest rate?

How can I calculate the total cost savings from prepayment?

You can use an online prepayment calculator by entering details of your loan amount, tenure, interest rate, and prepayment amount. The tool will provide an estimated savings breakdown.
