Q1: What is EMI?
A: EMI stands for Equated Monthly Installment, which is the fixed amount you pay each month towards repaying your loan, including both principal and interest.
Q2: How is the monthly interest rate calculated?
A: The monthly interest rate is calculated by dividing the annual interest rate by 12 (months) and converting it to decimal form (e.g., 12% annual = 1% monthly = 0.01).
Q3: Can I change the loan term after taking the loan?
A: Some lenders may allow loan term adjustments, but this typically requires approval and may involve additional fees or changes to the interest rate.
Q4: Are there any hidden charges in EMI?
A: The EMI calculation includes principal and interest. However, there may be additional charges like processing fees, insurance, or prepayment penalties that are not included in this calculation.
Q5: How does prepayment affect my EMI?
A: Prepayment can reduce your principal amount, which may lower your EMI or shorten your loan term, depending on the lender's policies and your agreement.
