After availing a personal loan of any amount from RBL Bank, the loan amount needs to be paid back in equated monthly installments (EMIs) and every EMI comprises a portion of the principal amount as well as the interest charged. As the personal loan moves towards its maturity, the principal portion gradually increases and the interest portion decreases.
The method for calculating the EMI on a personal loan can be mentioned as follows -
E = P*r*[(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n-1)]
Here E - Monthly EMI, r - rate of interest per month, n - number of years.
For a ballpark figure of Rs. 1,00,000 at an interest rate of 10.85% with a loan tenure of 1 year, the payable EMI would be Rs. 8,831 out of which the interest will account for Rs. 5,974.
For example, a personal loan of Rs. 5,00,000 for a period of 4 years at an interest rate of 10.85% from RBL Bank would have the following scenario for the EMI to be paid (starting from August 2015) -
| Year | Total Payment (INR) | Balance (INR) | Principal Portion (INR) | Interest Portion (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 64,432 | 4,57,409 | 42,591 | 21,841 |

| 2019 | 90,205 | 0 | 87,029 | 3,176 |
