Loan Balance Transfer

Savings = (Old Interest − New Interest) × Remaining Tenure − Transfer Fees

Transfer home loan to a bank with 0.25-0.5% lower rate — can save ₹3-8 Lakhs over remaining tenure.

Best time to transfer: early in the loan (first 5-7 years) when interest component is highest.

Transfer costs: Processing fee (0.5-1%), legal/valuation charges. Factor these into savings calculation.

Some banks offer "takeover" deals with additional top-up at reduced rates.

Negotiate with your current bank first — they may match the lower rate to retain you.

Pro Tip
