The concession in processing fee and interest rate impacts the overall cost of a home loan. Even a slight reduction in the interest rate brings down the EMI cost for the borrower, making the loan cheaper.

Things to consider this before applying:

Before you apply for a home loan, make sure to inquire about the overall applicable charges and the home loan interest rate. Knowing these charges is extremely useful to determine the total cost of your housing loan and can save you from opting for a high-cost loan deal that will make you pay heavily in the long run.

If you are a first-time borrower, here are a few notable charges to take note of:

• Processing fees
• Documentation charges
• EMI bounce charges
• Penal interest for late payment or default
• Other applicable charges

Different Home Loan EMI Options for Multiple Amount

Also, look into the tenure of repayment as it is directly linked to the monthly amount outgo (or EMI). Having a longer tenure will provide you with sufficient time to repay a large home loan amount. In that way, you can avoid defaults. Another factor to consider is the home loan part-prepayment and foreclosure policy. It will help you in the future when you have surplus to prepay your loan faster.
