When you borrow a loan, you repay it in small monthly instalments over a fixed period of time. However, if you have surplus funds, you can pay the entire outstanding amount in one go and close your loan early. This process is called loan foreclosure. This repayment option helps you to repay your loan faster and become debt-free sooner.
Foreclosing a loan is a common practice if you want to become debt-free before the end of your loan tenure. But what if you’ve missed out on your equated monthly instalments (EMIs) and your loan is now in an overdue status? Can you still foreclose the loan? The answer to this question depends on multiple factors such as your lender’s policy and the terms and conditions of your loan.
However, if you have an ongoing loan with Bajaj Finance with overdue instalments, you can foreclose the loan. In such a case, you’ll need to pay penal charges. Also, when you foreclose your Term Loan with us, you are also liable to pay a loan foreclosure fee. The foreclosure amount that you finally pay will then comprise the principal amount, the interest accrued, penal charges for the overdue EMI and foreclosure charges. It’s important to note that when you fail to pay an EMI on time, you’ll have to pay the penal charges – irrespective of whether you foreclose the loan.
