Personal loan fixed ROI (Monthly reducing basis)
 

In a personal loan with a fixed rate of interest (ROI) on a monthly reducing basis, the interest rate remains constant throughout the loan tenure.

The term "monthly reducing basis" is a method of interest calculation. In this approach, the interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance at the end of each month. As you make monthly repayments, which include both the principal and interest component, the principal amount reduces, thereby decreasing the interest portion for subsequent months. This results in a progressive reduction in the interest component over time, making the total interest paid lower compared to the flat rate method.

Thus, FIRSTmoney offer the advantage of financial predictability and is beneficial for budget planning, ensuring consistent and manageable monthly repayments throughout the loan period.

The EMI calculator includes three sections: the loan amount, repayment tenure, and rate of interest. You can use this tool by entering the personal loan amount you need, the applicable interest rate, and the repayment tenure in which you plan to clear off the loan. Once you enter these details, the EMI calculator will give you the EMI value that you need to pay every month in real time. You can also adjust the loan amount, tenure, and interest rate slider for different values to find a suitable loan plan based on your repayment capabilities.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the interest rate for a personal loan?

The interest rate for a personal loan varies depending on several factors, including the borrower's credit score, income level, loan amount, and repayment tenure. Personal loan interest rates from Metra Trust’s FIRSTmoney range from 10.99% to 23.99% per annum. 

What is the difference between part payment, pre-payment, and pre-closure?

  1. Part payment: This refers to the repayment of a portion of the loan amount before the due date. It reduces the outstanding principal, thereby decreasing future interest obligations. However, it does not fully settle the loan.
  2. Pre-payment: This is the repayment of the entire remaining loan amount in one go before the loan tenure ends. It completely settles the loan, saving on future interest payments. Pre-payment can attract certain charges depending on the bank’s policies.
  3. Pre-closure: With Firstmoney's ZERO foreclosure feature, you can pre-close your loan without any additional charges, offering you the flexibility and freedom to manage your finances without the worry of extra costs. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who may come into funds and wish to clear their debt without being penalized for it. It's a smart financial move that aligns with the modern borrower's need for flexibility and control over their financial commitments.

Do banks charge GST on personal loans?

The banks in India charge Goods and Services Tax (GST) on various fees and services associated with personal loans. The GST is levied on processing fees, pre-payment or pre-closure charges, and other administrative fees. The current GST rate on these services is 18%. The interest component of the loan repayment is not subject to GST, but all other service-related charges are. You can review the loan agreement for detailed information on applicable GST charges.
