No Cost EMIs allow you to buy your favorites products without paying any interest
Making a lump sum payment is challenging, no matter how big your salary may be. Whether buying the latest iPhone or upgrading your house, you will need to commit thousands of rupees. It can be tricky, especially if you are starting your career or have financial commitments. No Cost EMIs make more sense in such cases, allowing you to purchase what you want without burning a hole in your wallet.
What is the meaning of No Cost EMI?
When you take a loan, your EMI includes two components: the principal amount and its interest. But when you take a No Cost EMI, there is no interest component. For instance, suppose you are buying an ₹1 lakh product and are looking to pay for it in 12 months. In regular consumer loans, there will be interest. Let us assume it stands at 10%.
Your monthly EMI would then be ₹8792, and the total amount you pay back will amount to about ₹1.06 lakh. However, in No Cost EMIs, you pay what you owe without the interest. In this case, ₹8333 would be your monthly EMI.
