Dec 05 2015 : The Times of India (Pune)   The interest rate and tenure are two factors that have a bearing on the EMI you pay towards your home loan Home loan repayments are made by way of equated monthly in stallments (EMIs). EMIs are arrived at by clubbing the principal and interest payable, divided by the number of months of the loan tenure.The EMI stays constant, divided equally across the loan tenure.
