Have You Checked the IIFL Business Loan?

IIFL offers a business loan up to 60 months of the loan tenure. This makes up the easy monthly installments for about 2,275 per lakh, which is easily payable by the business loan borrower. Lowest Interest rate which was offered by the IIFL against the business loan is 18.00%. IIFL retrieve money from the borrower in the form of EMI which is a fixed amount of money which you have to pay back to the bank against the loan taken. At every month, it is fixed at a certain date and you have to pay it until your loan is fully repaid.

Following table shows the breakup of the 10 lakh loan provided by the IIFL at 18.00% interest rate.

Particulars	1 year	2 year	5 year
IIFL EMI for a loan amount of Rs. 10 lakh at 18.00%	Rs. 91,680	Rs. 49,924	Rs. 25,393
The total amount you pay back to the bank including principal and interest	Rs. 11 Lakh	Rs. 11.98 Lakh	Rs. 15.23 Lakh
The interest you have to pay over loan tenure	Rs. 1 Lakh	Rs. 1.98 Lakh	Rs. 5.23 Lakh

The analysis of the above table suggested that the longer you keep the money with you less will be the EMI which you can easily pay but on the contrary, the amount of interest rate has increased significantly. So, this will suggest that you need to choose your plan and loan tenure wisely and judiciously such that you will not end up paying the more and more interest rate than the required one.
