If you pay one extra EMI (₹4,707) towards the principal at the end of every year, this ₹1 lakh loan closes 1 month early and you save about ₹591 in interest at 12%. Check your lender's prepayment terms first — floating-rate loans taken by individuals cannot carry a prepayment penalty under RBI rules.
