Hi friend,

You should choose the interest rate structure based on your own comfort level, knowledge, and the benefits that you will get from choosing a particular interest rate structure. Let me tell you the ideal circumstances to help you decide:

You should go for Floating Interest Rate when:

If you think your income will increase and any rise in interest rates won’t affect your other financial commitments

There is a reliable indication that the interest rates will fall in the future and remain stable during the loan tenure

You know the financial market and under which conditions, the interest rate rises and drops.

You should go for Fixed Interest Rate when:

When you predict a rise in the interest rate due to unfavorable market conditions

When you are comfortable paying the current interest amount and want to keep the EMIs fixed

When you do not have the market expertise to predict how interest rate moves and would instead prefer stability. 

Difference Between Fixed Interest Rate and Floating Interest Rate
Floating Interest Rate Fixed Interest Rate

Lower Interest Rate

Higher Interest Rate

Affected by changes in the financial market

Not affected by financial market conditions

EMIs change as per interest rate or MCLR

Fixed EMIs

Suitable for long term (20 to 30 years)

Suitable for short/medium term (3 to 10 years)

Higher risk

Lesser risk

 

In case you are worried about making the wrong decision, then let me tell you that you can change from fixed to floating interest rates and vice-versa by paying a conversion fee of up to 2% of the total loan amount.
