Question 1

How is Loan Against Property EMI calculated?

Accepted Answer

EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N − 1], where P is the loan principal, R is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and N is the tenure in months. Use the calculator above to compute it instantly for any combination of amount, rate, and tenure.

Question 2

What is the difference between fixed and floating interest rate for a loan against property?

Accepted Answer

A fixed rate stays the same for the entire tenure (or a defined period) — your EMI never changes. A floating rate is linked to an external benchmark (typically the RBI Repo Rate) and resets every quarter or with each RBI policy change. Floating rates are usually 0.5–1% cheaper on day 1 but carry the risk of going up. Most Indian borrowers pick floating because of zero prepayment penalties under RBI rules.

Question 3

Can I prepay or foreclose my loan against property without penalty?

Accepted Answer

For floating-rate retail loans, the RBI prohibits prepayment and foreclosure charges. For fixed-rate loans, lenders may charge 2–5% on the outstanding. Always check the lender's prepayment clause before signing — it's listed on each offer card above.

Question 4

How much loan can I get against my property?

Accepted Answer

Banks typically lend 50–70% of the property's market value (LTV). The exact amount depends on property type (residential > commercial > industrial), location, and your repayment capacity.

Question 5

What is the maximum tenure for a LAP?

Accepted Answer

Up to 15–20 years for residential property and 10–15 years for commercial. The longer tenure makes LAP the cheapest high-ticket unsecured-purpose loan in India.
