What applies to this exact problem

1

Capture today’s effective rate. Write benchmark plus spread exactly as shown in the sanction or latest rate communication.

2

Map the reset calendar. Note when the benchmark is observed and when your loan actually changes.

3

Apply an equal upward rate shock. Recalculate EMI or tenure under both structures using the lender’s method.

4

Apply an equal downward shock. Check how quickly each loan transmits the reduction and whether any request is needed.

5

Add conversion cost. A switch is worthwhile only if expected savings exceed fees and the remaining loan life is long enough to recover them.

Decision rule: prefer the structure whose benchmark and reset behaviour you can understand and whose downside remains affordable—not simply the one with the lower rate on the comparison date.

Check these first

  • Note when the benchmark is observed and when your loan actually changes.
