People who have already applied or are intending to apply for loans with floating interest rates are going to suffer the most, reports Rediff.com.

What is partial prepayment of home loan?

Longer the tenure of the loan more will be the money spent in home loan interest. An effective way of bringing down the tenure of loan is partial prepayment in which one should pay additional principal amount along with the usual EMI. Partial prepayment is feasible when the amount that is accumulated to prepay loan is saved after taking care of short-term liquidity needs. The person paying the loan should be comfortable with his current EMI and should not have any other high cost loans.
