Why Prepayment Makes Sense
Massive Interest Savings
Even small monthly prepayments (₹5,000-₹10,000) can save lakhs in interest over 20 years
Example: ₹50L loan @ 8.5% for 20Y - ₹10K/month prepayment saves ₹25L+
Become Debt-Free Faster
Reduce your loan tenure from 20 years to 12-15 years with consistent prepayments
Benefit: Financial freedom earlier, reduced stress, better cash flow
Tax-Free Returns
Interest saved = guaranteed tax-free returns equivalent to 11-12% fixed returns
Logic: 8.5% loan interest saved = 11.3% pre-tax return (30% tax bracket)
Risk-Free Investment
Unlike market investments, loan prepayment gives guaranteed returns with zero risk
Safety: No market volatility, no principal loss risk
