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.

Important Statutory & Regulatory Notes
- •Statutory RBI Ceiling: LTV (Loan-to-Value) caps are set by RBI at 90% (for loans up to ₹30L), 80% (₹30L–₹75L), and 75% (above ₹75L). Borrowers must fund the remaining down payment.
- •Lender Underwriting: Bank approval requires meeting FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) limits, typically 40%–60% of net monthly income.
- •Prepayment Rights: RBI guidelines strictly prohibit prepayment or foreclosure penalties on floating rate home loans for individual borrowers.
- •Illustrative Benchmark: Actual bank lending rates float based on the lender's spread over the prevailing RBI repo rate.
