₹75 lakh home loan EMI and the total you repay over 10 to 30 years

On a ₹75 lakh home loan for 20 years at 8%, the EMI is ₹62,733 every month. By the last instalment you will have repaid ₹1,50,55,921, roughly double the loan. The 8% rate is just an example. Lenders price each loan by your credit score and profile.

Take Nikhil and Aditi in Thane, just outside Mumbai, who want a bigger flat now that their son has started school. Both of them work, so they apply for a joint loan. The lender then looks at their combined income instead of either salary on its own, and they plan to share the EMI between them.
