SBI Loan Repayment

Loan repayment is how the borrower returns the borrowed money back to the lender. The amount of the loan is refunded in corresponding monthly instalments called the EMI, which consists of the interest component and the principal component.

The sum of the EMI, together with the interest and principal break-up, is given in a schedule called the Amortization Schedule. This table shows the exact amount of interest and principal that is deducted from your loan amount for each EMI you pay.

What is an amortization schedule?

The Amortization Schedule is a table showing each instalment that is due, normally on a monthly basis, and the amount of the instalment is assigned to the interest as opposed to the principle. Amortization tables may allow the borrower to monitor what they owe and when the next instalment is expected, as well as to work out the total outstanding principal or interest on the loan.

Most Common Types of Loan Repayments

Loan repayments are usually rendered by monthly EMIs. Occasionally, there is also a possibility of a Bullet Repayment. Repayment plans are primarily dependent on the type of debt, the amount of the loan, the interest rate, the preferred term and the ability of the borrower to repay. Let 's look at the two most common forms of repayments available for various types of loans;

EMIs – EMIs or Equated Monthly Instalments are the most common form of payment plans offered for any form of loan. In this form of repayment, the principal value of the debt plus the total interest is split into equivalent monthly payments for the term of the loan. This sum is called the EMI and is payable per month by the creditor on a set date. As the number of EMIs continues to be paid, the interest rate and the principal amount will be reduced accordingly from the amount of the debt until the full amount of the loan is repaid. The loan is then officially ended.

With EMI repayments, consumers are better able to handle their monthly finances. They're also expected to prepare for other costs accordingly. Banks also offer 'Part prepayments' and 'Full pre-closures' on your loans, which allow you to use the bulk of the sum you may receive during the loan repayment period.

Bullet Repayment- Some loan products will help you to repay the loan via a bullet loan repayment mechanism. You just need to pay the interest portion each month in this option. When the term of this loan expires, you have to repay the whole principal loan in one go.
