Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Step-Up EMI loan?
A Step-Up EMI loan starts with lower EMI payments in the initial years, which progressively increase (step up) in later years. It is designed for young professionals expecting significant salary growth.
Does a Step-Up EMI cost more in interest?
Yes. Because you are paying less towards the principal in the early years compared to a standard EMI, the outstanding principal remains higher for longer, resulting in higher total interest paid over the tenure.
When should I opt for a Step-Up EMI?
You should opt for it only if your current income strictly cannot support a standard EMI for the home you need, but you have high certainty of significant income growth in the next 3-5 years.
