Save the last schedule before reset and the new one. Record remaining principal and maturity date.

2. Reconcile the rate reset

Identify benchmark change, spread and effective date. Compare with the loan agreement and lender communication.

3. Quantify the impact

Count extra EMIs and estimate total additional interest if EMI stays unchanged.

4. Ask about available choices

For applicable floating EMI-based personal loans, RBI instructions address borrower options around EMI enhancement, tenure elongation, switching to fixed where offered, or prepayment.

5. Choose based on cash flow and total cost

A higher EMI can reduce added tenure, but only if affordable. Prepayment can help, but preserve emergency liquidity.
