Save up to 50% on interest payments
With every Smart Home, you get a current account. All you need to do is put your usual savings, from other accounts, into the Smart Home Account. Depending on the savings you put into the Smart Home Account, you can reduce the quantum of interest paid by up to 50%.
Here's how Smart Home works to save you money
Your home loan interest is calculated, on the principal outstanding minus the savings deposited in your Smart Home Account every month, over and above your EMI. Calculate your savings:
The example below shows how much interest is reduced, with a monthly saving of just Rs. 6,000, over and above your EMI.
