It is best suited for customers who are comfortable with their home loan EMIs or expects the home loan interest rates to increase in future. In general, lending institutions levy prepayment penalty on fixed rate home loans.
• Floating home loan interest rate: Floating interest rates are not the same throughout the loan tenure. It may change with the change in the lender’s benchmark rate. It is a little lower than the fixed home loan interest rates and customers who expect the home loan interest rates to reduce in future must opt for it. Usually, lenders levy no prepayment penalty on floating rate home loans.

Customers who are unable to decide between fixed rate and floating rate home loans can also opt for partly fixed or partly floating rates as per their needs.
