Floating home loan EMIs move when the lender resets rates after repo or internal benchmark changes. A reset is not automatically bad — but it is a trigger to re-read your sanction letter and benchmark spread.
Checklist after a rate hike
- Confirm new rate, benchmark, and spread on the lender portal — match against the sanction letter.
- See whether EMI increased or tenure extended; tenure extension hides cash-flow pain but raises total interest.
- Compare balance transfer quotes only after accounting for processing fees and lost tax benefits on interest (if applicable).
- Keep one prepayment plan: even one extra EMI a year cuts interest on long tenures.
