Repo Rate and Home Loans
The RBI repo rate directly influences your home loan interest rate. A 0.25% hike typically increases monthly EMIs by Rs 150 per Rs 10 lakh borrowed.
Fixed vs Floating Rates
Floating-rate loans are linked to external benchmarks like the repo rate. Consider whether fixed or floating suits your risk appetite.
Managing EMI Increases
You can extend the loan tenure, make partial prepayments, or switch lenders to manage higher EMIs effectively.
Future Outlook
Monitor the MPC announcements quarterly to plan your home loan decisions better.
