EMI on a ₹5 lakh personal loan

In short: At 11% a year, a ₹5 lakh personal loan costs about ₹44,191 a month over 12 months, ₹23,304 over 24 months or ₹16,369 over 36 months. Stretching to three years cuts the EMI by almost two-thirds but triples the total interest, from ₹30,290 to ₹89,297. To keep a ₹5 lakh EMI within half your income you need a take-home of roughly ₹33,000 (36 months) to ₹47,000 (24 months), before any other EMIs. Your actual rate, fees and APR are in the Key Fact Statement before you sign.

What salary does a ₹5 lakh loan need?

Lenders check FOIR, the share of your take-home going on all EMIs. Working backwards from the 11% EMIs above, this is the take-home at which a ₹5 lakh EMI alone fills a 40% or 50% limit:

TenureEMI at 11%Take-home for 50% FOIRTake-home for 40% FOIR
12 months₹44,191₹88,382₹1,10,477
24 months₹23,304₹46,608₹58,260
36 months₹16,369₹32,739₹40,923

Illustrative, assuming no other EMIs. Add your existing EMIs and the take-home needed rises. Omozing’s minimum take-home is ₹40,000 in any case, and every decision follows a full assessment.

What actually reaches your account

₹15,000A 3% processing fee on ₹5 lakh
₹2,700GST at 18% on that fee
₹4,82,300Amount received if the fee is deducted upfront

At Omozing the fee is 3%–7% plus GST, and the APR in your Key Fact Statement combines interest and fees into one yearly figure. Compare lenders on APR, not on the headline rate. If you need a full ₹5 lakh in hand, ask for a slightly larger amount rather than finding yourself short.

What most people get wrong: they pick 36 months for the lowest EMI and never look at the interest. On ₹5 lakh at 11%, choosing 24 months instead saves about ₹30,000 in interest. If the higher EMI fits, take the shorter tenure; if it doesn’t, take 36 months and prepay when your income allows.
