How to Prepay a Home Loan
The Home Loan Prepayment Process Includes:
1. Communication to the Lender: Since you are paying off the loan earlier than planned, inform the lender in writing beforehand.
2. Pay Penalty (if any): As per RBI mandate, lenders cannot charge penalty fees for prepayment on floating interest. But some lenders may charge a fee for foreclosing your Home Loan.
3. Foreclosure: You can prepay any amount (equal to the sum of minimum three EMIs) per transaction after your first EMI is cleared. There is no limit to the maximum amount you can pay towards your Home Loan Part Prepayment
