Understanding Foreclosure Charges on Personal Loans and Their Calculation
Foreclosure charges on personal loans apply when borrowers repay the entire outstanding balance before the loan tenure ends, often called early closure or prepayment. Lenders impose these fees, typically 2-5% of the remaining principal, to compensate for lost interest income. Charges vary by lender and may be percentage-based or flat fees. Understanding these fees is important for borrowers considering early repayment to avoid unexpected costs that reduce potential savings.
