Ye sawal har home loan wale ke dimaag me aata hai. Bonus aaya, increment hua, ya FD mature hui — aur turant khayal: "loan thoda kam kar dun?" Par dost bolta hai "arey invest kar, loan to chalta rahega!"
Sach bataun? Dono sahi ho sakte hain — situation par depend karta hai. Aaj hum ek real example leke dono raaste tolte hain. Phir tum khud decide karna.
Setup: hamara example loan
💡 Tip: SIP Calculator par apne numbers daalke khud check karo — free hai!
- Loan: ₹40 lakh home loan
- Rate: 9% saalana
- Tenure: 20 saal
- EMI: ₹35,989/month
- Kul byaaj (bina prepay): ~₹46.37 lakh — haan, loan se zyada byaaj!
3 saal EMI bharne ke baad tumhare paas aaye ₹5 lakh extra. Ab do raaste:
Raasta 1: ₹5 lakh prepay kar do
Prepayment ka matlab — bank ko extra ₹5 lakh de do, principal kam ho jayega:
| Bina prepay | ₹5L prepay ke baad | |
|---|---|---|
| Bachi hui byaaj | ~₹35.9 lakh | ~₹22.0 lakh |
| Byaaj me bachat | — | ~₹13.8 lakh! |
| Loan khatm hone me | 17 saal bache | ~52 mahine pehle! |
Dekha? ₹5 lakh dene par ₹13.8 lakh ka byaaj bacha + 4.3 saal jaldi azaadi. Aur ye bachat guaranteed hai — market upar jaye ya neeche, ye paise pakke bache.
Apne loan ka hisaab lagao
Prepayment se kitna byaaj bachega — khud calculate karo:

Raasta 2: ₹5 lakh invest kar do
Wahi ₹5 lakh agar 17 saal ke liye invest kar do (12% expected annual return par):
| Invest (12% expected, 17 saal) | |
|---|---|
| Final value | ~₹34.3 lakh |
| Gain | ~₹29.3 lakh |
Numbers me invest jeet raha hai — ₹29.3 lakh gain vs ₹13.8 lakh bachat. Par ruko. Ye "12% expected" hai — guarantee nahi. Market ne 17 saal me 12% diya to tum raja. Par agar 8-9% hi mila to? Phir prepayment jeet jayega.
Toh jeeta kaun? — imaandaar jawab
Yahan meri personal opinion suno:
- Risk nahi lena, neend achhi chahiye → Prepay karo. ₹13.8 lakh ki pakki bachat koi chhoti baat nahi. Loan jaldi khatm = mental peace.
- Lamba horizon (10+ saal), market ka utaar-chadhav jhel sakte ho → Invest karo. History me equity ne lambe samay me loan rates ko aksar haraya hai — par "aksar" ka matlab "hamesha" nahi.
- Meri mano to — dono karo. ₹5 lakh me se ₹2.5L prepay, ₹2.5L invest. Balance hi asli samajhdaari hai.
Part-payment ke 3 tarike — numbers me tulna
₹5 lakh ek saath dena hi ekmatra tarika nahi. Wahi ₹40 lakh / 9% / 20 saal wale loan par 3 alag part-payment strategies compare karo (bina prepay: 20 saal 1 mahina, kul byaaj ~₹46.37 lakh):
| Strategy | Loan khatm | Byaaj ki bachat |
|---|---|---|
| A: Har saal ₹1 lakh extra (5 saal tak) | 15 saal 8 mahine | ~₹13.96 lakh |
| B: Teesre saal me ₹5 lakh lump sum | 15 saal 8 mahine | ~₹13.83 lakh |
| C: Har mahine EMI +10% extra | 15 saal 10 mahine | ~₹11.24 lakh |
Seekh: Chhote regular part-payments (A aur C) lump sum jitna hi powerful hain — aur tumhe ek saath ₹5 lakh jodne ka pressure nahi. Bonus/appraisal aaye to seedha loan me daal do. Aur ek simple trick: saal me 13 EMI bharne ka formula — sirf ek extra EMI saal me, loan saalon pehle khatm!
Prepayment ke 3 golden rules
1. Shuru ke saalon me karo. Pehle 5-7 saal me EMI ka 70-80% hissa byaaj hota hai. Tab prepay karoge to sabse zyada fayda. 15vein saal me prepay karna — der ho chuki hoti hai.
2. Emergency fund ko haath mat lagao. 6 mahine ke kharche ka paisa alag rakho. Woh chhoo ke prepay karna — ek emergency aayi to phir personal loan lena padega 14% par. Samajhdaari nahi, bewakoofi hai.
3. Tenure kam karo, EMI nahi. Bank puchega "EMI kam karun ya tenure?" — hamesha tenure. EMI kam karne se monthly rahat milti hai par byaaj ki bachat aadhi reh jati hai.
Ek aur angle — tax ka
Home loan ke byaaj par ₹2 lakh tak ka deduction milta hai (old tax regime me, self-occupied property par). Prepay karke loan jaldi khatm karoge to ye deduction bhi jaldi khatm. High tax bracket walo ke liye ye ek chhota sa nuksaan hai — par ₹13.8 lakh ki bachat ke saamne ye chhota padta hai. Bas dhyaan rakhne wali baat hai, deal-breaker nahi.
Aakhri baat. Jo log kehte hain "hamesha invest karo, kabhi prepay mat karo" — woh tumhara risk nahi jhelte. Aur jo kehte hain "loan jaldi khatm karo, invest bekaar hai" — woh compounding ki taakat nahi samajhte. Tum apni neend, apna risk appetite aur apne numbers dekho. Calculator upar diya hai — 2 minute me dono scenario khud check karo. Wahi tumhara jawab hai.
Aksar puche jaane wale sawal
Q: Home loan prepayment karna chahiye ya paise invest karne chahiye?
Agar investment se loan rate se zyada expected return mile (aur risk jhel sakte ho) to invest karna numbers me jeetta hai. Guaranteed bachat chahiye to prepayment.
Q: Prepayment loan ke shuru me karna chahiye ya baad me?
Shuru ke saalon me — tab EMI me interest ka hissa sabse zyada hota hai, to prepayment ka asar sabse bada padta hai.
Q: Kya prepayment par koi charge lagta hai?
Floating rate home loan par RBI ke niyam se koi prepayment charge nahi lag sakta. Fixed rate par lag sakta hai — agreement check karo.
Q: Emergency fund se prepayment karna sahi hai?
Bilkul nahi. Pehle 6 mahine ke kharche ka emergency fund rakho, uske baad bache paise se prepayment socho.
Q: Prepayment se tenure kam karna better hai ya EMI?
Tenure kam karna — isse total interest sabse zyada bachta hai. EMI kam karne se monthly rahat milti hai par bachat kam hoti hai.
