Every employed person wants to have his own house, but in today's time, it is not so easy to buy or build a house in big cities. Most people have to resort to home loans for this. Home loan is also not for 2-4 years but for 20-30 years. That is, if you make a home loan EMI for 30 years at the age of 30, then you will have to repay the loan till retirement.

In such a situation, today we are going to tell you a trick, by which you can repay your home loan before time and also save money. Let's know about it.

Almost every employed person wants his own house, but buying a house in a big city can be challenging, it often requires a home loan of 20-30 years. This means that you may have to pay EMI till retirement. However, there is a trick by which you can repay your home loan before time and also save on interest. By using this trick, you can get rid of the burden of EMI soon.

Let's assume that you have taken a home loan of Rs 40 lakh to buy a house and have to make an EMI for 20 years. If you have got this loan at a rate of 9.5 percent, then you will have to pay an EMI of Rs 37,285 every month for 20 years. In such a situation, you will have to pay interest of Rs 49,48,459 on a loan of Rs 40 lakh. That is, in total, you will have to pay Rs 89,48,459. However, if you keep reducing the principal amount of your home loan little by little, that is, keep making partial payments, then your loan will end soon and you will also have to pay less interest. There can be many ways to do this.

How can you repay the loan quickly with an EMI trick?
Under this trick, you will have to pay an extra EMI every year. That is, generally, you have to pay 12 EMIs every month in a year. If you pay an extra EMI every year, then you will have to pay 13 EMIs in a year. Let us assume that you pay this extra EMI at the beginning of every year. If you do this, then you will repay the loan of Rs 40 lakh taken for 20 years in about 16 months and you will have to pay about Rs 11.70 lakh less in interest on it.

That is, money will be saved and the loan will also be repaid quickly. Paying one extra EMI in the whole year will not put any burden on you, and in the long run, you will get a big benefit. However, some banks have a minimum limit for depositing money in the middle of the loan period. In such banks, at the time of taking a home loan, you can negotiate that the minimum limit should be equal to one EMI. (Bank Home loan)

Pay some money every year in a lump sum-
If you deposit Rs 50,000 extra every year in a lump sum at the beginning of the year, then your loan of Rs 40 lakh will be over in about 15 years. At the same time, you will also save about Rs 14.50 lakh. If you pay Rs 1 lakh every year in lump sum at the beginning of the year, then your loan will be over in about 12 years and you will also save about Rs 22.20 lakh going in interest.

Increase your EMI a bit-
The EMI of your loan depends on your loan amount, interest rate, and period, which you have to pay every month. If you want, you can increase your EMI from the bank, like you can get an EMI of Rs 30,000 increased to Rs 35,000. With this, you can finish your loan quickly by paying an additional amount in a year.

By increasing your EMI by 5 percent, your 20-year home loan of Rs 40 lakh will be completed in 17 years and 6 months and you will save Rs 7.3 lakh in interest. If you increase your EMI by 10 per cent, the same loan will be completed in 14 years and you will save around Rs 17 lakh.
