Every EMI in India is produced by the same reducing-balance formula: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ ÷ [(1 + r)ⁿ − 1], where P is the principal, r is the monthly rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the tenure in months.
The instalment stays constant, but its composition does not. Interest is charged on the outstanding balance, which falls with every payment — so early instalments are mostly interest and later ones are mostly principal. That front-loading has one important practical consequence: a prepayment early in the tenure is worth several times the same amount later, because it removes interest that would have accrued across the whole remaining term.
A loan at 10.99% with a 2.5% processing fee can cost more in absolute rupees than one at 11.5% with a 0.5% fee. Ask every lender for the annual percentage rate and the total amount repayable — those two figures are comparable; the advertised rate on its own is not.
