Home Loan FAQs (NRIs)

How do I repay the loan?

You repay the loan in Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs), which includes principal and interest. EMI repayment starts from the month following the month in which you take full disbursement. EMI is payable every month, by the end of the month from the date of each disbursement up to the date of commencement of EMI. Pre-EMI is calculated at the same rate at which EMI is calculated. EMI payments are to be made through post dated cheques from your Non Resident (External) Account/Non Resident (Ordinary)/Non Resident (Special) Rupee Account (NRSR) in India.

Can I repay my loan ahead of schedule? Yes. You can repay the loan ahead of schedule, by remittances through abroad through normal banking channels, your Non Resident (Ordinary) / Non Resident (Special) Rupee Account (NRSR) in India.
