  1. This article is good enough to answer most of the stuffs. I would like to know few more things regarding home loans:
    1. Are there penalties levied if we pay more or less than the specified EMI?
    2. If we take the loan for 20 years and cannot pay it in 20 years, will the bank extend the loan re-payment duration? What procedures needs to be followed to extend the period?
    3. If the home gets damaged in some natural disasters, what are the owners supposed to do?

  2. This is also very nice article. But it needs an explanation in some points. Yesterday I came through a term called prepayment charges. Is it applicable for home loans too? So what will be the penalty charges if loan is due? Is there any time span in which the property will be auctioned?

  3. A home loan is the most popular loan among us, which helps us to attain our ultimate dream, a home. And this article helped to understand the concept of house loans. Even if I have seen many of my colleagues taken loans, I was completely unaware of pre-EMI interest charges. The calculations are perfectly explained as well.
