Hi sir
I have 9 lakhs personal lone give me some tips to close the personal lone
Ans: A personal loan of Rs. 9 lakh can feel stressful.
But with proper steps, it can be closed faster.
Here are smart, simple tips to help you close it early.
Know Your Loan Details Clearly
Check interest rate, EMI, and tenure.
Know the outstanding principal amount.
Note if any prepayment charges apply.
This gives clarity for planning the next steps.
Create a Short-Term Goal
Set a clear target to close the loan.
Aim for closure in 18 to 24 months.
Keep the goal visible. This builds focus.
Start a Loan Prepayment Fund
Open a separate savings account.
Put any bonus, gift, or windfall here.
Add Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 10,000 every month.
This fund helps you part-pay regularly.
Cut Down on Unnecessary Expenses
Review monthly spending habits.
Cut online shopping, dining out, and gadgets.
Save and use the extra for prepayment.
This sacrifice is temporary but powerful.
Increase EMI If Possible
Speak with your bank to revise EMI.
Even Rs. 2,000 extra can reduce tenure.
Small increase now means big savings later.
Prepay Every Quarter
Don’t wait for large amounts.
Prepay even Rs. 20,000 each quarter.
It reduces principal and interest burden.
Consistency is more important than size.
Use Extra Income Wisely
Use bonuses, incentives, or gifts to repay.
Don’t spend them on lifestyle upgrades.
Focus on freedom from debt first.
Avoid Taking Any New Loan
Don't apply for credit cards or loans.
Keep your financial focus sharp.
New loans will delay your current closure.
Sell Idle Assets If Needed
If you have gold, old electronics, or bike, sell.
Use the money to pay down the loan.
Debt-free life is more peaceful than unused things.
Avoid Just Paying EMI Alone
EMI only keeps you going.
Prepayments are what end the loan.
Make it your top priority.
Stay Motivated and Track Progress
Write down your loan goal in your room.
Track how much you reduced each month.
Celebrate small wins. They boost confidence.
Finally
A personal loan is high-cost debt.
Closing it early gives peace and savings.
Use every extra rupee wisely.
Avoid lifestyle inflation and temptations.
Be focused, consistent, and disciplined.
You will soon be free from this Rs. 9 lakh loan.
Once free, start building your future wealth.
