Owning a house is a mark of financial success in Indian society. No wonder every earning individual in India dreams of buying a home they can call their own. The biggest impediment? Soaring property prices. After all, the high property prices require prospective homeowners to set aside larger sums to buy a house, putting them under financial stress.
Here, a home loan from a leading financial institution can help in two ways. When buying a house, you won’t need to worry about your savings depleting. And two, you can repay the loan at your convenience.
Are you planning to apply for a 20 lakh home loan? Read on to learn more about a 20 lakh loan EMI and interest rates.
What is a home loan EMI?
A home loan will give you access to the funds you need to purchase a house. But you must pay off the loan within the stipulated tenure. Most financial institutions allow you to pay off the loan monthly as Equated Monthly Instalments or EMI.
It is calculated by adding the total interest you need to pay to your principal amount and dividing this sum by the loan tenure in months. Here is a formula to make this simpler.
((Principal x Interest Rate x Loan tenure) + Principal )) / (Loan tenure x 12)
Wherein the loan tenure is in years.
Alternatively, you can head to Tata Capital’s website and use the EMI calculator to plan your finances.

As evident from the above, the loan interest plays a role in determining your monthly EMIs. But there are a number of factors that influence interest rates as well. Here are a few you should know about.
1. LTV ratio: LTV ratio or the Loan-to-Value ratio shows the percentage of the property amount financed through a home loan. If you finance a significant portion of the overall amount through a loan, it will attract a higher interest rate. This is because your lender views this as a higher dependence on loans to manage your finances and believes you are more likely to default on your loan repayments. So, borrowing only a small percentage as a loan will get you less interest rates.
2. Property Location: The property’s location often plays a vital role when deciding interest rates. A property in a prime location with good connectivity will have a higher resale value than one in the outskirts; hence, it will attract a lower interest rate.
3. Credit score: A CIBIL or credit score determines your creditworthiness based on your loan history and repayment discipline. If you have a good credit score, you will have a higher chance of getting the loan sanctioned at an attractive interest rate.
