How do I compare two loan offers?▼
Compare total interest paid, processing fees, prepayment charges, and flexibility. Cheapest EMI is not always the cheapest loan overall.
Is a lower interest rate always better?▼
Not always. A 0.1% lower rate may matter less than a flat ₹50,000 processing fee on a small loan.
What is APR vs interest rate?▼
APR includes all fees, giving the true cost of borrowing. Always compare APRs, not just the advertised interest rates.
Should I refinance my existing loan?▼
If current rates are 1%+ lower for home loans, refinancing usually makes financial sense. Calculate savings vs switching costs.
How much can refinancing save?▼
From 9.5% to 8.5% on ₹30L outstanding for 15 years: ~₹3.5 lakh total interest saved over tenure.
