Illustrative SIP Compounding Scenario
A parallel mutual fund SIP of ₹3,471/mo (10% of your EMI), at an assumed 13% CAGR over 20 years, could potentially accumulate ₹ 39.76 L — illustrating the power of compounding to potentially offset your total interest of ₹ 43.31 L.
*13% CAGR is an assumed illustrative rate and is NOT guaranteed. Actual mutual fund returns depend on market performance. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are floating rate home loans better than fixed?
In India, most home loans are linked to RBI Repo Rate (EBLR). Floating rates have zero prepayment penalty for individual borrowers, allowing flexible principal prepayments.
Should I prepay home loan or invest in mutual funds?
With typical home loan interest around 8.5-9% and diversified equity mutual funds delivering 12-15% long term, a balanced strategy combining moderate prepayments with parallel SIPs generates the highest net family wealth.
