Loan switch and rate reset
Assumptions
The current loan runs at the current rate for the remaining tenure. The switched loan restarts at the offered rate: keeping the EMI shortens the tenure, otherwise the EMI falls over the same tenure and the break-even month is the switching cost divided by the monthly saving. Net saving is total interest saved less costs. RBI rules remove prepayment charges on floating-rate loans to individuals, so no exit charge is added; fixed-rate loans need the lender's penalty added to costs. The reset test re-amortises the current loan from the chosen month at the shocked rate.
