For e.g. In the case of 20 Lakh loan it would be like a recurring deposit of Rs. 672 giving 8% return per annum till the end of 19 years. For 20th year there would be EMI waiver in case of Axis bank and hence you would save the entire EMI for Axis Bank. The calculation assumes that you would invest these 12 EMIs giving 8% till the end of 20th year. Also the sum which was generated by the difference in EMIs would be invested for 20th year yielding 8%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2712\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-vs-SBI-Home-Loan-Comparision.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2712\" title=\"Axis Bank vs SBI Home Loan Comparision\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-vs-SBI-Home-Loan-Comparision-1024x214.png\" alt=\"Axis Bank vs SBI Home Loan Comparision\" width=\"900\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-vs-SBI-Home-Loan-Comparision-1024x214.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-vs-SBI-Home-Loan-Comparision-300x62.png 300w, https:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-vs-SBI-Home-Loan-Comparision.png 1374w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2712\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Axis Bank vs SBI Home Loan Comparison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>As you can see in the table above you still gain by going with SBI and it increases as the Home Loan amount goes up.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>we can calculate the effective interest rate of Axis Bank taking the saving made in last 12 EMIs. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So we do some calculations backwards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As in the above calculation the saving at the end of 20 years for 20 Lakhs loan is Rs. 254,408. So its value by discounting it @ 8% at end of 19th year is Rs. 235,563.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next we need to calculate the difference amount which when invested at 8% p.a. as in the above table would give the value of Rs. 235,563 at the end of 19 years. The difference turns out to be Rs. 443. <strong>So effectively you are getting a discount of Rs. 443 on your EMI of Rs. 20,305<\/strong>. So your net EMI turns out to be Rs. (20,305 \u2013 443 = <strong>19,862<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At 10.43% interest rate your EMI turns out to be Rs. 19,874. <strong>With all this complex calculation Axis Bank is offering an indirect discount of 32 basis points or 0.32% on its interest rates<\/strong> [<em>1 percent = 100 basis point<\/em>].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>So Axis Bank turns out to be a better option for Rs. 20 Lakh loan if the competition interest rate is more than 10.43%.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly for Rs. 50 Lakh loan the effective interest rate turns out to be 10.67% a discount of 33 basis points and in case of Rs 1 Crore loan the effective interest rate comes to be 10.91%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2713\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2713\" style=\"width: 621px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2713 \" title=\"Axis Bank - Happy Ending Home Loan - Savings\" src=\"http:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-Happy-Ending-Home-Loan-Savings.png\" alt=\"Axis Bank - Happy Ending Home Loan - Savings\" width=\"621\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-Happy-Ending-Home-Loan-Savings.png 887w, https:\/\/www.apnaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Axis-Bank-Happy-Ending-Home-Loan-Savings-300x79.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Axis Bank &#8211; Happy Ending Home Loan &#8211; Savings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>So with all the above assumptions you can assume that the 12 EMI wavier turns out to be an indirect discount of 0.33% on Home Loan interest rates of Axis Bank.<\/strong> <em>This would change with change in assumptions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The press release by Axis Bank also mentioned that this Happy Ending Home Loan is only for new customers<\/strong> and old home loan customers could switch to this scheme by paying relevant processing fee which is 1% of outstanding Loan amount.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Does it make sense for existing Home Loan customers to switch to Happy Ending Home Loan at same rate of Interest?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is simplest of all the above calculation.
