Andhra Bank Loan Repayment

Loan repayment in the most simplest and obvious ways can be explained as the return of the loan taken from the bank along with the interest thereon at regular and timely intervals throughout the tenure of the loan and ensuring that the borrower repays it in full by the end of such tenure.

Andhra Bank offers many flexible repayment options to its borrowers. Customers can repay the loan taken at their flexibility and as per the agreement between them and the bank in accordance with the guidelines laid by the bank in this regard.

How does loan repayment work?

Customers are required to repay the loan on a regular basis throughout the tenure of the loan. These regular payments are known as EMIs or Equated Monthly Installments. EMIs are a summation of the principal amount to be paid along with the interest charged. Interest can be charged on either flat rate basis or reducing balance basis as per the policy of the bank.

The mathematical formula for calculating the EMI is stated below.

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n/((1 + r)n - 1)

Where,

• P=principal or the loan amount 
• r= rate of Interest
• n=repayment period or tenure of loan
