About Loan Balance Transfer Calculator

A loan balance transfer means moving your outstanding loan from your current lender to a new lender offering a lower interest rate. While the lower rate saves interest, there are processing fees and costs involved — this calculator helps you decide if the switch is truly worth it.

When Should You Transfer?

  • The new rate is at least 0.5% lower than your current rate.
  • You have a significant outstanding balance (typically ₹20L+).
  • You have enough remaining tenure to recoup the transfer fee (usually 3+ years).
  • The break-even period is within your remaining tenure.

Costs to Consider

  • Processing Fee: New lender charges 0.5–1% of the outstanding loan.
  • Foreclosure Charges: Some lenders charge 1–2% for early closure (not applicable for floating rate home loans per RBI).
  • Legal & Documentation: ₹5,000–₹15,000 for property document transfer.
  • MODT/Stamp Duty: State-specific charges for new mortgage registration.

RBI Rules on Balance Transfer

  • For floating rate home loans, existing lenders cannot charge prepayment or foreclosure penalty.
  • Fixed rate loans may still have foreclosure charges — check your loan agreement.
  • Your CIBIL score impacts the rate offered by the new lender.

Steps to Transfer

  • Get a Foreclosure Letter from your current lender showing outstanding balance and principal.
  • Apply for a new loan with the new lender by submitting income and property documents.
  • New lender disburses the amount directly to your existing lender.
  • You start repaying EMIs to the new lender.
