A: HDFC typically charges 2-4% for prepayments above certain limits, but this varies by loan type and terms.
Q3: When is the best time to prepay?
A: Early in the loan tenure when interest component is higher. Even small prepayments early on can have significant impact.
Q4: Should I reduce EMI or tenure?
A: Reducing tenure saves more interest overall, while reducing EMI improves monthly cash flow. Choose based on your financial priorities.
Q5: How accurate is this calculator?
A: This provides a close estimate. For exact figures, consult your HDFC loan statement or relationship manager.
