1. What is HDFC Land Loan EMI?

The HDFC Land Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower makes to HDFC every month to repay their land loan. The EMI includes both principal and interest components, calculated using standard amortization formulas.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (INR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and converted to decimal)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly EMI payment (INR)

Note: HDFC's current land loan interest rates start at 8.45% p.a. but may vary based on credit profile and other factors.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating EMI helps borrowers understand their monthly financial commitment, plan their budget, and compare different loan options before making a purchase decision.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in INR, annual interest rate (default is 8.45%), and loan term in years. The calculator will show your monthly EMI, total repayment amount, and total interest payable.
