Frequently Asked Questions About EMI

Is EMI the same for all months?

Yes, EMI is a fixed amount that remains the same throughout the loan tenure for fixed-rate loans. For floating-rate loans, EMI may change if interest rates change.

What happens if I pay EMI late?

Late EMI payments result in penalties, increased interest, and negative impact on credit score. Always pay on time to maintain good credit health.

Can I prepay my loan before tenure ends?

Yes, most loans allow prepayment. Prepaying reduces total interest significantly. Check with your lender for prepayment penalties.

What's better: longer tenure or shorter tenure?

Shorter tenure means lower total interest but higher monthly EMI. Choose based on your monthly cash flow and financial goals.

How does interest rate affect EMI?

Higher interest rates mean higher EMI for the same loan amount and tenure. Even 1% difference can mean thousands in total interest.
