Think of Vikram, who runs a small textile export business in Surat, and his wife Neha, a doctor at a private hospital. They are buying a larger home. Vikram's income comes in uneven bursts, not as a fixed salary, so what they really want to know is how fast they can clear ₹1 crore without starving the business of cash.

15 years instead of 20: ₹28.73 lakh less interest

At this size, every tenure choice moves lakhs. Cutting the loan from 20 to 15 years raises the EMI by ₹11,921, from ₹83,644 to ₹95,565. Total interest drops from ₹1.01 crore to ₹72.02 lakh, a saving of about ₹28.73 lakh.

There is a second benefit that does not show in the table. With the 15-year plan you are free of the EMI five years earlier, which matters if a child's college fees or your own retirement is due around that time.
