Frequently Asked Questions

How does RBI repo rate affect home loan EMI?
When RBI cuts the repo rate (the rate at which it lends to banks), banks' cost of borrowing falls. For EBLR-linked home loans, this benefit must be passed on within 1–3 months. A 25 basis point (0.25%) rate cut on a ₹50 lakh loan for 15 years reduces EMI by approximately ₹785/month.
What is the difference between repo rate and home loan interest rate?
The repo rate is the rate RBI charges banks (6.00% in Apr 2025). Home loan rates are repo rate + spread (typically 2–3%). So at 6% repo rate, a bank may offer 8.5% (6% + 2.5% spread). When repo falls, EBLR-linked loans drop by the same amount. The spread doesn't change.
My EMI hasn't changed after RBI rate cut — what should I do?
First, check if your loan is EBLR-linked (most loans taken after Oct 2019 are). If yes, your bank must update within 3 months. If the EMI hasn't changed, call your bank's home loan helpline and ask for a rate reset. If they refuse, file a complaint with RBI Ombudsman.
Should I choose fixed or floating rate home loan in 2025?
With RBI in a rate-cutting cycle (already cut 50bps in early 2025), floating rate loans benefit from further cuts. Fixed rates are typically 1–1.5% higher than current floating rates. Unless you need payment certainty, floating rate is advantageous in a declining rate environment like 2025.
How much total interest can be saved if RBI cuts rates by 1% over 2 years?
On a ₹50 lakh home loan with 15 years remaining, a cumulative 1% rate cut (e.g., from 9% to 8%) saves approximately ₹4.2 lakh in total interest over the remaining tenure, with EMI dropping by ₹1,570/month. Use the calculator above for your exact loan details.
