Is Pre-closing Your Personal Loan in 2023 a Good Idea?

Is Pre-closing Your Personal Loan in 2023 a Good Idea?

So, you’ve taken a personal loan to meet an urgent financial need. Now, you don’t want a debt obligation and are thinking of pre-closing your loan. Is this a good idea in 2023? What does this mean for you in terms of penalties? How easy is it to pre-close your loan in 2023?

In this article, we answer all your questions!

What is a Pre-closure?

A pre-closure or foreclosure is the complete repayment of your loan in a single installment prior to the due date. Thus, instead of continuing to pay regular EMIs, you pay the pending amount in one go.

This helps you save a significant amount on the interest component and EMIs you would have paid over time. Now, before deciding to pre-close your loan, you will need your lender’s approval. In some cases, lenders charge a foreclosure penalty to compensate for the lost interest component they would have otherwise earned.

Things To Know About Pre-Closing Personal Loan

Like all financial decisions, you should weigh the pros and cons of pre-payment of your loan. We have addressed below some basic questions you might have while making this decision. 

How Will It Affect Your Credit Score?

Pre-payment of the complete loan amount is considered as payment done within the due date. It has no bearing on your credit score as such. A ‘closed’ status is reflected on your credit report when the loan is repaid in full.

Are There Any Charges on Pre-closure?

Yes, pre-closure comes with a price. So it is important to do a cost-benefit analysis before you make a decision.

At Tata Capital, we levy a foreclosure charge of 4.5% of the principal outstanding amount. We levy this fee on the partial or complete pre-payment of a loan, including top-ups.

Is There a Right Time to Pay Off Debt?

If you have excess funds, it can be a good idea to close your loans unless you’re almost at the end of your personal loan tenure. 

If you pre-close your loan towards the end of its tenure, you will not be able to enjoy much savings. In addition, you will also have to a foreclosure fee. Do a proper analysis of your costs and benefits before deciding.
