What is the difference between Flat and Reducing interest types while dealing loans?


  • Flat Interest: Charged on the total loan amount throughout the repayment period.

  • Reducing Interest: Charged on the outstanding balance after each EMI repayment.
    Example: If ₹1,00,000 has been repaid, interest next period applies to ₹11,00,000.
