Pay your EMIs in advance
For most loans, the instalment amount remains fixed over the repayment tenure. A set amount gets deducted from your bank account on a fixed date. If you have surplus funds at some point over the loan tenure, you may choose to pay off an EMI before the due date.
If advance payment is made 4 days before the due date of the ongoing month, your EMI will automatically get adjusted towards your instalment for the next month. This means that your EMI will not be deducted from your bank account next month.
You may choose the advance EMI option if you fear missing your due date, have issues with your bank account registration or any such instances. In fact, you can choose from several modes of payment to make an advance EMI. This will ensure that your EMI is paid ahead of time, and you avoid any penal charges applicable and any negative impact on your credit score in the case of missed EMIs.
With the service portal, you can pay one EMI in advance if you have opted for our Flexi Loan variant and up to five EMIs if you have chosen a regular term loan.
Note: Advance EMI cannot be treated as part-prepayment or foreclosure of the loan(s) irrespective of the loan variant availed or the amount paid by you and hence no interest is payable by BFL on the advance EMI or no interest benefit by treating advance EMI amount as part-payment will be given in the loan.

If you have surplus funds or have a fear of missing your monthly instalment due date, you can choose to pay your EMIs in advance. This payment option will help you avoid any penal charges applicable in the case of a missed EMI.
However, if you pay an advance EMI 4 days before your payment due date of the month, your advance EMI amount gets adjusted in the subsequent month’s instalment. This is because your current month’s EMI is under presentation to your bank for the deduction. In case your upcoming EMI bounces, your advance payment can be adjusted towards your loan.

If you have surplus funds, you can pay a part of your loan ahead of its tenure. Part-prepayment helps in either reducing your EMIs or the tenure.

To pay the remaining EMI at once, contact your lender and request for a foreclosure or prepayment of the loan. You will need to obtain a foreclosure statement detailing the outstanding amount. Once you have this, you can make a lump sum payment either through online banking, a mobile app, or by visiting a branch. Ensure you receive a confirmation of the payment and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the lender, confirming that the loan has been fully repaid.
