Explanation: The calculator first determines your regular monthly payment, then applies any extra payment to principal, recalculating the interest and balance for each period.
Details: Making part payments on your HDFC personal loan can significantly reduce your total interest paid and shorten your loan term. Even small additional payments can have a big impact over time.
Tips: Enter your loan amount, interest rate, loan term in months, and any additional payment you plan to make. The calculator will show your amortization schedule with the extra payments applied.
Q1: How do extra payments affect my loan?

A: HDFC may charge a prepayment penalty depending on your loan terms. Check your loan agreement for details.
Q3: When is the best time to make extra payments?
A: The earlier you make extra payments, the more interest you'll save. However, any time is beneficial.
Q4: Can I make recurring part payments?
A: Yes, HDFC allows recurring part payments. You can set this up through net banking or by visiting a branch.
