EMI is payable every month, by the end of the month from the date of each disbursement up to the date of commencement of EMI. Pre-EMI is calculated at the same rate at which EMI is calculated. EMI payments are to be made through post dated cheques from your Non Resident (External) Account/Non Resident (Ordinary)/Non Resident (Special) Rupee Account (NRSR) in India.

Can I repay my loan ahead of schedule? Yes. You can repay the loan ahead of schedule, by remittances through abroad through normal banking channels, your Non Resident (Ordinary) / Non Resident (Special) Rupee Account (NRSR) in India.
