How This Calculation Works
EMI (Equated Monthly Instalment) in India is computed using the standard monthly reducing balance formula standard across Indian retail banking. In this method, interest is calculated each month solely on the outstanding principal balance. As a result, early instalments service primarily the interest portion, while later instalments exponentially reduce the principal balance.
