You normally repay the loan through Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs) comprising both principal and interest. If the final disbursement is however still pending, you pay interest on the portion of the loan disbursed before the EMI commences.
We could also structure your loan repayment to suit your convenience. For instance, the installments could be lower in the initial years and could gradually increase over a period or vice versa.
