Knitting customized products that suit the needs of our customers has become our cornerstone.<\/p>\n<p>With a consumer-first approach, we continue to encourage our customers to make as many pre-payments as possible.

Don\u2019t worry! We\u2019ll explain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we take any type of loan from an FI or a bank, the most common way to repay the money is through Easy Monthly Instalments (EMIs). The bank\/FI would deduct these EMIs from our bank account on a particular due date.<\/p>\n<p>An EMI has 2 components \u2013 <em>Interest + Principle.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For example, if your EMI is Rs.10,000. Some part of the EMI goes towards paying interest &amp; the remaining part gets deducted from your principle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do pre-payments help? Yes, we\u2019re getting there!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whenever you make a pre-payment towards your loan, it directly gets deducted from your outstanding principal amount. This means, your interest will now be charged only on the remaining amount.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Interest \u2013 Saved.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Loan Tenure \u2013 Reduced. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, we realized there are a lot of customers who are willing to make pre-payments but find it difficult to set aside money in huge chunks. Hence, despite the willingness, the purpose of pre-payment gets defeated. \u2639<\/p>\n<p>We thought to ourselves, <em>\u201cWhy don\u2019t we ask our customers to make micro pre-payments that gets auto-debited from their bank account on a monthly basis?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the answer was, <em>\u201cWhy didn\u2019t we think of this before!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Introducing: HomeFirst Auto-Prepay<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/homefirstindia.com\/\"><strong>Auto-prepay<\/strong><\/a> is a first of its kind product that empowers the customer to make pre-payments starting from amounts as low as Rs. 500 on a monthly basis.
