Mr. X wishes to purchase a flat for Rs. 44,60,800 with a down payment of Rs 10,00,000 and balance in equal monthly installments (EMI) for 20 years. If bank charges 7.5% per annum compounded monthly, then the EMI is:

[Given that (1.00625)2404.4608(1.00625)^{240} \approx 4.4608]

Solution

Correct Option: 3

The total flat cost is Rs. 44,60,800 with a down payment of Rs. 10,00,000.

Loan amount = Rs. 44,60,800 - Rs. 10,00,000 = Rs. 34,60,800


Given information:

Principal (P) = Rs. 34,60,800

Time period = 20 years = 240 months

Annual interest rate = 7.5%

Monthly interest rate (r) = 7.5%12=0.625%=0.00625\frac{7.5\%}{12} = 0.625\% = 0.00625

(1.00625)240=4.4608(1.00625)^{240} = 4.4608


The EMI formula is:

EMI=P×r×(1+r)n(1+r)n1EMI = \frac{P \times r \times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n - 1}

Substituting the values:

EMI=34,60,800×0.00625×(1.00625)240(1.00625)2401EMI = \frac{34,60,800 \times 0.00625 \times (1.00625)^{240}}{(1.00625)^{240} - 1}

EMI=34,60,800×0.00625×4.46084.46081EMI = \frac{34,60,800 \times 0.00625 \times 4.4608}{4.4608 - 1}


Calculate the numerator:

34,60,800×0.00625=21,63034,60,800 \times 0.00625 = 21,630

21,630×4.4608=96,502.46421,630 \times 4.4608 = 96,502.464

Calculate the denominator:

4.46081=3.46084.4608 - 1 = 3.4608

Therefore:

EMI=96,502.4643.4608EMI = \frac{96,502.464}{3.4608}

EMI=27,880EMI = 27,880

The EMI is Rs. 27,880.
