Formula & Explanation
Total Savings = (Current EMI - New EMI) × Remaining Tenure - Transfer FeesBalance transfer savings = difference in total interest paid at old rate vs new rate, minus the one-time transfer/processing fee (typically 0.5-1% of outstanding). The larger the rate difference and remaining tenure, the more you save.

Frequently Asked Questions
Consider balance transfer when: (1) the rate difference is at least 0.5-1%, (2) remaining tenure is more than 5 years, (3) your credit score has improved since original loan, (4) net savings after fees exceed ₹1 lakh. The longer your remaining tenure, the more you benefit.
Typical charges include: processing fee (0.5-1% of loan amount), legal/technical verification (₹5,000-15,000), stamp duty on new agreement, and sometimes a foreclosure charge from the old bank (nil for floating rate home loans as per RBI).
Yes, but it's less common. Personal loan balance transfers involve higher processing fees and the rate difference is usually smaller. It makes more sense for home loans where even 0.5% difference over 15-20 years saves lakhs.
There's no legal limit, but frequent transfers hurt your credit score and each transfer has costs. Most advisors recommend transferring only if you'll save significantly (₹1 lakh+) and plan to stay with the new bank for at least 3-5 years.
