Foreclosure Net Savings
Partial Prepayment vs Full Foreclosure
Compare partial loan prepayment with full foreclosure using interest savings, fees, liquidity and the revised repayment schedule.
Direct answer
Is partial prepayment better than full foreclosure?
Partial prepayment keeps more liquidity and still reduces future interest, while full foreclosure removes the EMI and all remaining loan interest. Compare charges and revised schedules for both rather than assuming the same terms apply.
Worked example
If Rs 5 lakh is outstanding but only Rs 3 lakh is safely available, test a partial prepayment and request the new EMI or tenure before considering full closure later.
What to check
- Compare charge rules for each option.
- Choose EMI or tenure treatment in writing.
- Keep enough cash after either payment.
How the calculator approaches it
- 1.Reconstruct future interest from principal, rate and remaining tenure.
- 2.Subtract the lender foreclosure charge and GST.
- 3.Estimate the alternative growth forgone by using cash to close the loan.
- 4.Compare the result with a dated lender foreclosure statement.
Important limitation
Actual closure figures can include daily interest and contract-specific amounts. Charge rules depend on lender, loan purpose, rate type and current directions.
