The document discusses home loan interest rates and how increasing rates can negatively impact borrowers over time by increasing EMIs. It provides an example showing how a 1% increase in interest rate over 20 years of a Rs. 20 lakh loan significantly increases the interest portion and decreases the principal portion of each EMI payment. The document recommends that borrowers proactively pay additional principal amounts regularly to offset rising interest rates and keep the loan favorable for the borrower over the full term.
