Home Loan Interest Rates
Home loan interest rates in India depend on the lender, the loan amount, and your credit profile — a higher credit score and a larger down payment usually get a lower rate.
We don't list bank-wise home loan rates because they change often, and the rate you are offered depends on your credit score, income and loan amount. Ask your bank or lender for the rate offered to you, then enter it in the calculator above.
Home Loan Eligibility
To qualify for a home loan in India you generally need to be a salaried or self-employed Indian resident aged 21–65, with a net monthly income of at least ₹25,000 and a CIBIL score of 700 or above. Most banks apply a Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio (FOIR) of 40–50%, meaning your total monthly EMIs — including the new home loan — should not exceed half your take-home pay. A co-applicant (spouse or parent) can increase the eligible loan amount and may attract a discounted interest rate for women borrowers.
Tips to Reduce Your Home Loan EMI
Make a larger down payment — increasing it from 10% to 20% of the property value cuts both the loan amount and the lender's risk, often resulting in a lower rate. Maintain a CIBIL score above 750 to access the best rates. If you took your loan when rates were higher, a balance transfer to a lower-rate lender can save lakhs in total interest — use this calculator to model the savings. Finally, making even one additional EMI per year directly against the principal can shorten your tenure by 2–3 years on a 20-year loan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EMI for a ₹30 lakh home loan?
At 8.5% p.a. for 20 years, the EMI on a ₹30 lakh home loan is approximately ₹26,034 per month. For a 15-year tenure at the same rate it rises to ₹29,547. For a 30-year tenure it drops to ₹23,070. Use the calculator above to enter your exact rate and get the precise figure.
What is the EMI for a ₹50 lakh home loan?
At 8.5% p.a. for 20 years, the EMI on a ₹50 lakh home loan is approximately ₹43,390 per month. Over the 20-year tenure you would pay roughly ₹54.1 lakh in total interest — more than the principal itself. A shorter 15-year tenure increases monthly EMI to ₹49,245 but cuts total interest by about ₹14 lakh.
Is a 20-year or 30-year home loan tenure better?
A 20-year tenure keeps total interest lower — on a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5%, you pay ~₹54 lakh interest vs ~₹92 lakh over 30 years. A 30-year tenure reduces monthly EMI by ~₹5,000 but costs you ₹38 lakh more in interest. If your income comfortably supports a higher EMI, choose the shorter tenure. Use the calculator to model both scenarios for your specific loan.
How does home loan prepayment reduce my cost?
Prepayment directly reduces your outstanding principal, which lowers all future interest calculations. On a ₹50 lakh loan at 8.5% with 20 years remaining, a ₹5 lakh prepayment in year 3 can shave approximately 2–3 years off the tenure and save ₹7–10 lakh in total interest. Check your loan agreement for any prepayment charge. Use our Prepayment Calculator to model your exact savings.
When should I consider a home loan balance transfer?
A balance transfer makes financial sense when the new lender's rate is at least 0.5–1% lower than your current rate AND you have a significant portion of your tenure remaining (ideally 10+ years). On a ₹40 lakh outstanding loan, a 1% rate reduction saves roughly ₹3–5 lakh over the remaining tenure after accounting for processing fees. Always calculate the break-even point — the interest saved must exceed the transfer costs.
What is the difference between fixed and floating home loan rates?
A fixed rate stays constant throughout the tenure, giving you predictable EMIs regardless of RBI repo rate changes. A floating rate adjusts with market rates — it can go lower (saving money) or higher (increasing your EMI). Over 80% of Indian home loans use floating rates since the long-term trend benefits borrowers during rate-cut cycles. Fixed rates suit risk-averse borrowers expecting rates to rise significantly.
