Q1: How does part payment affect my loan?
A: Part payments reduce your principal amount, which decreases both your monthly EMI and total interest paid over the loan term.
Q2: Should I make part payments early in the loan term?
A: Yes, early part payments have greater impact as they reduce principal before more interest accrues.
Q3: What's better - reducing EMI or loan term?
A: Reducing loan term saves more interest overall, while reducing EMI improves monthly cash flow.
Q4: Are there prepayment penalties?
A: Some lenders charge prepayment penalties - check your loan agreement.
Q5: How often can I make part payments?
A: This depends on your loan terms - some allow unlimited part payments, others restrict frequency or amount.
