When it comes to taking a loan, one of the biggest choices you’ll make is between a fixed interest rate and a floating interest rate. Sounds complicated? Don’t worry — we’ll make it simple.

At Loans For Sure, we believe understanding your loan should be easy and stress-free. Let’s break down what fixed and floating rates mean, how they affect your EMIs, and which one might be right for you.

What is a Fixed Interest Rate?

A fixed interest rate means your EMI (monthly payment) stays the same throughout the loan tenure — no matter how the market changes.

• Pros: Stability, easier budgeting, and protection from market fluctuations.
• Cons: Usually a bit higher than floating rates, and you won’t benefit if market rates go down.

Best For:

Borrowers who want predictable EMIs, long-term security, and peace of mind.

What is a Floating Interest Rate?

A floating interest rate changes based on market conditions — usually linked to a benchmark like the RBI repo rate. That means your EMI can go up or down over time.

• Pros: Lower initial rates and potential savings when market rates fall.
• Cons: EMIs can increase if interest rates rise, which makes planning harder.

Best For:

Borrowers who can handle some risk and expect interest rates to drop or remain stable.
