Benefits of Advance EMI Payment

Easy access to credit is empowering. The ability to borrow money at short notice to meet one’s immediate requirements, and pay it back in easy instalments over a longer period of time is at the heart of financial inclusion. An EMI or equated monthly instalment enables you to repay your loan over a tenure, thereby allowing you to fit a large credit liability within a small monthly budgets. However, did you know that if you have surplus funds at your disposal, burden of repayment can be reduced? This is possible through the advance EMI payment option.

There are generally two kinds of EMIs payment options – Regular EMI Payment and EMI Payment in Advance.

1. Regular EMI Payment

This is the most common EMI option. In this, the borrower makes EMI payments every month over the specified period known as the repayment period/tenure. The principal loan amount is credited to the borrower’s account in its entirety, and repayment begins only thereafter. The EMI component is combination of the principal and interest amount. The EMI to be paid is constant over the specified repayment tenure.

2. EMI Payment in Advance

An EMI payment in advance is usually made when the borrower has surplus funds at their disposal. Advance EMI option is today being offered by most of the leading banks and NBFCs.
Your repayment bank account will not be debited for monthly EMIs against the corresponding period, if the EMI is paid in advance. An important point to remember here is that the making an advance EMI payment will not affect the interest rate in any way, since the amortization schedule will remain the same.
