Imagine taking a home loan of ₹40 lakh at 8.5% interest for 20 years, resulting in an EMI of ₹34,700. Now, add a small step—start a SIP of ₹6,000 (just 0.15% of your loan amount) for the same tenure alongside your EMI.
In 20 years, you’d have paid ₹43 lakh in interest to the bank and invested ₹14.4 lakh in SIPs. Yet, here’s the magic—you’d build a mutual fund corpus of ₹79.6 lakh! That’s almost twice your total SIP investment.
This thoughtful approach helps you accomplish three life goals: First, you secure your dream home, fully paid off after 20 years. Second, you prepare for retirement, with a significant mutual fund corpus providing financial security. Third, you recover the interest paid on your loan through your mutual fund returns.
To maximize your benefits, consider gradually increasing your SIP amount to outpace inflation. This combination of disciplined investments and smart planning enables you to achieve homeownership, financial stability, and wealth creation, all while repaying your loan. A balanced plan like this ensures peace of mind and a secure financial future.
