How much do you have to pay now?

If you have taken a loan of Rs 20 lakh from SBI for 20 years and are paying 7 percent interest on it, then your EMI of Rs 15,506 will come.

But now your EMI will increase to Rs 15,626 as the interest rate hiked to 7.10 percent. That means you will have to pay Rs 1,440 more as your EMI.
