Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tax benefit on home loan EMI?+
Under the old tax regime: interest component of EMI is deductible up to ₹2L/year under Section 24B; principal component is deductible up to ₹1.5L/year under Section 80C. Under the new regime, neither deduction is available.
Should I prepay my home loan or invest in SIP?+
If your home loan rate is 8.5–9% and equity SIP is expected to return 12%+, investing in SIP may give better returns. But prepayment gives guaranteed returns equal to loan rate. The decision depends on your risk tolerance and remaining loan tenure. CalcCrack helps model both scenarios.
What is the current home loan interest rate?+
Home loan interest rates in India range from 8.35–9.5% for major banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis) as of 2025, depending on your CIBIL score and loan amount. Rates are typically repo-rate linked (RLLR/EBLR).
How does home loan balance transfer work?+
Balance transfer means moving your outstanding loan to another lender offering a lower interest rate. Savings = difference in EMI × remaining months − processing fee of new loan. It makes sense if you have 5+ years remaining and rate difference is 0.5%+.
