A "low interest" loan shouldn't mean you have very little interest in paying it back!

    FAQs on Axis Bank Happy Ending Home Loan

    1. Is the Happy Ending scheme available on fixed-interest loans?

      No. This scheme is only available under the floating rate home loan plans.

    2. Can I club any builder-benefit schemes or other Axis Bank schemes with the Happy Ending plan?

      No, you cannot club any subvention scheme or any other kind of benefit plan with the Happy Ending scheme.

    3. Can I convert my fixed-rate loan to floating rate plan and avail this scheme?

      Even with a switch, this EMI-waiver scheme is available only to original floating-interest home loan customers. If you are an existing customer with a floating-rate loan subject to base rate instead of MCLR, you can pay the switching charges and move to the new MCLR regime.

    4. Am I allowed to increase or decrease my EMIs under this plan?

      You can revise your EMI payments for faster repayment, but you will not be able to enjoy the benefits of Happy Ending plan of you do so. But if the EMIs are increasing or decreasing because of change in MCLR, you can still be part of the Happy Ending plan as long as your tenure is more than 180 months (15 years).

    5. If at the end of 180 months I have only 7 EMIs pending, how will the waiver scheme work?

      The basis of the scheme is not waiver of 12 EMIs, but completion of 15 years. So if at the end of that period you have only 7 EMIs due, those 7 EMIs will be waived off, and not 12.
