Given:

Loan Amount (Principal) = ₹ 10,00,000

Interest Rate = 12% per annum

Loan Period = 5 years

Method = Flat Rate Method


In the flat rate method, interest is calculated on the original principal amount for the entire loan period.

Total Interest = Principal×Rate×Time100\dfrac{\text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}}{100}

Total Interest = 10,00,000×12×5100\dfrac{10,00,000 \times 12 \times 5}{100}

Total Interest = 60,00,000100\dfrac{60,00,000}{100}

Total Interest = ₹ 6,00,000


Total Amount to Repay = Principal + Total Interest

Total Amount to Repay = ₹ 10,00,000 + ₹ 6,00,000

Total Amount to Repay = ₹ 16,00,000


Number of months = 5 years ×\times 12 months/year

Number of months = 60 months


EMI = Total AmountNumber of Months\dfrac{\text{Total Amount}}{\text{Number of Months}}

EMI = 16,00,00060\dfrac{16,00,000}{60}

EMI = ₹ 26,666.66

Therefore, the EMI using the flat rate method is ₹ 26,666.66
