But, pre-payments are not only about making an extra payment whenever your finances permit. You should carefully deliberate your decision of prepaying your&nbsp;<a title=\"Home Loan\" href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/home-loan.html\">home loan<\/a> so that you can gain a stronger financial command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given below are some factors that you\nshould consider before pre-paying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ensure your\nprepayments reflect in your credit report<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to make prepayment on your&nbsp;home loan&nbsp;is a sign of financial fitness. It shows that you are equipped to deal with your existing financial obligations while handling your daily expenses. Your repayment history is an important factor for your credit score. The reduced&nbsp;home loan&nbsp;obligation will create a positive implication on your credit score, thus improving your creditworthiness. Hence, your prepayment should be documented in your credit score. Financial Institutions send details of your&nbsp;home loan&nbsp;to the credit bureau, so make sure to apply for a CIBIL report once in three months to check for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choose wisely\nbetween EMI reduction and loan tenure <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While considering home loan pre-payments, you can choose to either reduce your&nbsp;home loan&nbsp;tenure or bring down your existing EMIs. If you choose to reduce your loan tenure then you will be able to close your loan quicker and also save more in interest payout. But if your income is being burdened by the increasing home loan interest rate regime then you can also consider bringing down your EMI as per your needs. In this case, you must ask your lender not to reduce the tenure but to instead reduce your EMI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Effects of part pre-payment <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your sum amount is not adequate to foreclose your&nbsp;home loan,&nbsp;you could consider making a part pre-payment. Part pre-payment can be quite beneficial if you are looking to reduce your interest burden. Once you have prepaid a part of your&nbsp;home loan,&nbsp;your lender can recast the leftover housing loan amount as the principal amount and charge interest accordingly. This would cause a change in your EMI. Moreover, part pre-payment can be advantageous if the interest rates are more likely to increase in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Read<\/strong>:- <a title=\"5 Reasons Home Loans are Going to be Big in 2020\" href=\"https:\/\/tata-blog.osian.dev\/blog\/home-loan\/5-reasons-home-loans-are-going-to-be-big-in-2020\/\">5 Reasons Home Loans are Going to be Big in 2020 <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Impact on tax <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering pre-paying your&nbsp;home loan, make sure to be aware of the tax benefits you could gain or lose, depending on the way you have structured your&nbsp;home loan. To make a well-informed decision, consult a tax professional and use their inputs to come to a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Timing matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you should prepay or not, this\ndecision depends on your timing. If you decide to pre-pay with a large sum of\nmoney during the initial part of your loan tenure then it\u2019s a good option. This\nis because you will pay much lower interest on the reduced principal amount\nafter the pre-payment. This will also reduce your EMI. But, if you want to\npre-pay during the later part of the loan tenure then it might be best to allow\nthe repayment to be discharged in your normal tenure. Rather than using the\nextra funds to repay, it will be more beneficial if you used the amount\nsomewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tata Capital is known to offer easy housing loans at attractive&nbsp;home loan interest rates.
