Keep your EMI below 40-50% of monthly income. If you earn ₹1 lakh/month, your EMI should not exceed ₹40,000-₹50,000 to maintain financial stability.
Can I prepay my home loan without penalty?
For floating rate loans, RBI mandates no prepayment penalty. Fixed rate loans may have 2-3% penalty. Always check your loan agreement.
What is the maximum home loan tenure?
Most banks offer up to 30 years tenure. However, the loan must be repaid before you turn 60-70 (retirement age), so actual tenure depends on your current age.
