EMI calculator FAQs
What tenure should I choose for a personal loan?
Choose the shortest tenure you can comfortably afford. Long tenures reduce EMI but can make total interest expensive.
Can I prepay a personal loan?
Many lenders allow prepayment after a lock-in period, but charges vary. Check the lender's foreclosure terms before borrowing.
Should I take a personal loan for discretionary spending?
Be cautious. Since rates are high, use personal loans mainly for necessary expenses and only when repayment is comfortable.
