One Part Payment Could Save You ₹5.8L
Take this ₹15 Lakh loan at 9% for 20 years. If you make a single part payment of ₹1.5L(10% of the principal) in year 3 — say, from your bonus — you'd save ₹5.8L in interest and become debt-free roughly 5 years sooner. RBI rules mean zero prepayment penalty on floating-rate home loans.

Every Indian bank uses the same reducing-balance EMI formula: EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N − 1]. For a ₹15 Lakh loan, P = ₹15,00,000, R is your monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and N is your tenure in months. That means an 8.5% rate gives you a monthly R of 0.7083% and a 240-month tenure for a 20-year loan.
Salary You Need for a ₹15 Lakh Home Loan
Most banks limit your total EMI obligations to 40–50% of your net monthly income (FOIR). For a ₹15 Lakh loan at 9% over 20 years, the EMI of ₹13,496 means you typically need a take-home of at least ₹26,992/month — roughly an annual gross income of ₹4,21,072 after factoring in deductions and other obligations. Use our home loan eligibility calculator for a precise number based on your salary, age, and existing EMIs.
Tax Benefits Available on This Loan
Under Section 24(b), you can claim up to ₹2,00,000 per year on home loan interest paid (self-occupied property, old tax regime). Under Section 80C, principal repayment up to ₹1,50,000 is deductible. For a ₹15 Lakh loan in early years where interest dominates the EMI, the Section 24 cap will likely be the binding limit. Run the numbers in our tax benefit calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the EMI for a ₹15 Lakh home loan?

- What salary do I need for a ₹15 Lakh home loan?
- As a thumb rule, your EMI should not exceed 50% of your net monthly income. For a ₹15 Lakh loan at 9% for 20 years, the EMI is around ₹13,496, which means your minimum monthly take-home should be about ₹26,992 (annual income of around ₹3,23,901). Banks typically use a similar FOIR (Fixed Obligations to Income Ratio) of 40-50% when assessing eligibility.
- Can I prepay my ₹15 Lakh home loan without penalty?
- Yes. RBI mandates that floating-rate home loans in India have zero prepayment penalty. You can make part payments any time and reduce either your tenure or your EMI. For a ₹15 Lakh loan, even a 10% part payment in year 3 can save you over ₹5.8L in interest and cut around 5 years off your tenure.
- Is it better to reduce EMI or tenure after part payment?
- Reducing tenure almost always saves more interest because you pay off principal faster. Reducing EMI improves monthly cash flow but you continue paying interest for the original tenure. For most ₹15 Lakh borrowers, keeping the EMI the same and shortening tenure is the math-optimal choice.
- How is the EMI calculated for a home loan?
- The standard formula is EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N − 1], where P is the principal (₹15 Lakh in your case), R is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and N is the tenure in months. This is the same reducing-balance formula every Indian bank uses, so your EMI will match your bank statement to the rupee.
