This is what the calculation gives for the numbers you entered. It is an estimate, not advice, and it knows nothing about your situation beyond those numbers. Rules for India change on a published schedule; the effective date is shown on every rule-based tool.
How this is calculated
The remaining term is kept the same for both loans, which isolates the rate difference. Processing fees are a percentage of the balance and there are usually legal and valuation charges on top. The timing matters more than the rate gap: interest is front-loaded, so a transfer in year two of a twenty-year loan saves a great deal and the same transfer in year fifteen saves very little.

What it assumes
- The new lender takes over the same remaining term.
What it deliberately does not model
- Foreclosure charges on the existing loan vary and can be significant on fixed-rate borrowing.
- Any top-up taken during the transfer changes the comparison entirely.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it worth transferring late in the loan?
- Usually not. Interest is charged on the reducing balance, so most of it has already been paid by the second half of the term and there is little left to save against the fees.
