I took a loan of ₹55,000 from Bajaj Finance at 25.49% interest. My monthly EMI is ₹2,650, which I’ve been paying on time. However, after 9 months, Bajaj Finance is asking for ₹51,000 to close my loan. I thought EMI includes principal and interest. Could you clarify this for me?

The ₹51,000 closure amount is likely a pre-closure penalty charged by Bajaj Finance. While EMIs include principal and interest, loan agreements often have pre-closure clauses allowing lenders to charge a penalty for early repayment. This is legal under Indian law.

I applied for a home loan from Standard Chartered Bank, attracted by their promise of a low interest rate. After signing the agreement with a July 30th deadline, I submitted all documents on June 25th. However, instead of processing the loan, the bank started pressuring me to buy insurance and savings accounts. When I escalated the issue to the CEO, they made changes, but just before the deadline, they undervalued my property. They refused to accept the BMC-approved plan for valuation, citing an internal bank policy. This forced me to cover the difference of ₹17 lakh to the developer on the last day.

My friend took out loans totalling ₹90 lakh from a cooperative bank in Borivali against his commercial property worth ₹1.5 crore in 2012. I acted as a guarantor, along with another person, and provided all necessary documents like income proof. For the past year, my friend has been unable to repay the loan, making the account a Non-Performing Asset (NPA). The bank is now approaching me at work, citing Sections 49 and 101 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Society Act, 1960, to recover the outstanding amount from my salary. They haven’t been able to reach the other guarantor. Should I be held responsible before the bank attempts to recover the money from the borrower’s property?
