## Frequently Asked Questions

You can reduce EMI by: (1) Increasing tenure - longer tenure means lower EMI but more interest, (2) Making prepayments - reduces principal and future interest, (3) Balance transfer - move to lender with lower rate, (4) Negotiate with lender - especially with good repayment history.

Missing EMI leads to: (1) Late payment charges of 1-2% of EMI, (2) Negative impact on credit score (CIBIL), (3) Higher interest burden due to compounding, (4) Potential legal action if default continues. Contact your lender immediately if facing difficulty.

Prepay if your loan interest rate is higher than expected investment returns. For home loans at 8-9%, prepay if you can't earn more than 10-11% elsewhere. Keep 3-6 months expenses as emergency fund before prepaying. Consider tax benefits on home loan before prepaying.

Financial experts recommend keeping total EMIs below 40-50% of your net monthly income. For home loans specifically, keep EMI within 30-35% of income. Higher ratios indicate financial stress and may lead to loan rejection by banks.

Prepayment reduces your outstanding principal, which reduces future interest. You can choose to: (1) Reduce EMI amount while keeping tenure same, or (2) Keep EMI same and reduce tenure (recommended as it saves more interest). Most banks allow free prepayment on floating rate home loans.
