Three ways to pay less
1. One extra EMI a year. A single additional payment of ₹17,356 annually can shave years off a long tenure. 2. Round up. Paying ₹18,000 instead of ₹17,356 quietly prepays principal. 3. Keep EMIs under 40% of income. For this loan you'd want a take-home of at least ₹43,391 per month.
Track this EMI with a payoff meter, get due-date reminders, and watch the outstanding balance fall every month — all offline.
