Question

I have taken a personal loan of Rs. 500000 lacs from ICICI Bank repayable in 4 years and EMI of Rs. 15015/ month. Can I take a cheaper loan and prepay the loan and save some money? What is the prepayment peanlty?

Answer

You can take another loan if you are getting it at a lower interest rate. The prepayment penalty on personal loan ranges from 2-5% of the outstanding loan amount, which varies from banks to banks. However you may want to evaluate the cost of prepayment charge and processing fee for the new loan and then prepay the loan. You may want to approach www.apnaloan.com for a personal loan because here is where banks compete for your loan.
