Smart Financial Tips

Negotiate First

Try negotiating with your current lender before transferring. They may match or beat the new offer.

Compare Multiple Offers

Get quotes from at least 3-4 banks to ensure you're getting the best possible rate and terms.

Consider Lock-in

Check the new loan's lock-in period and prepayment terms for future flexibility.

Calculate True Savings

Include all hidden costs like stamp duty, technical valuation, and insurance transfer fees.

Factors Affecting Transfer Decision

Interest Rate Difference

Minimum 0.75-1% recommended

A 0.5% difference in interest rates can save ₹1,61,774 over your loan tenure.

Remaining Tenure

Longer tenure = More savings

Shorter the remaining tenure, higher the interest rate reduction needed to justify transfer costs.

Transfer Costs

Should be recovered in 12-18 months

Total transfer costs of ₹90,000 should ideally be recovered within the first 1.5 years through EMI savings.
