Part-prepayment is a facility where you pay back your loan that is more than one EMI. This is an easy and effective way to save on your interest amount as the part-prepayment amount directly gets deducted from your principal outstanding as on the month of making the payment.

If you have extra cash and you want to use it to pay off your loan early, you can choose a part-prepayment facility. However, part-prepayment of a loan can be tricky equation.

It is advisable to first look through your loan account statement to understand the principal and interest amount left to be repaid. A part-prepayment is most beneficial in the initial tenure as it will help you reduce your interest amount payable and in some cases can even shorten the loan tenure. Additionally, financial institutions sometimes charge a part-prepayment fee, which is a specific percentage of the amount you want to pre-pay. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of part-prepayment thoroughly before going ahead.

For instance, you are a salaried professional, with a pre-sanctioned line limit of Rs. 10 lakh. You withdraw Rs. 2 lakh for a tenure of 24 months. At the end of six months, you would have repaid roughly Rs. 50,000. Now, you have just received a bonus of Rs. 50,000. You can utilise these funds to prepay your loan and reduce your interest burden at no extra cost.
