₹2 lakh business loan EMI: monthly instalment by tenure and rate

EMI on a ₹2 lakh business loan at a glance

At an illustrative 14% a year on a reducing balance, a ₹2,00,000 business loan costs about ₹6,836 a month over 36 months and ₹4,654 a month over 60 months (Standard loan EMI formula). In the first month, about ₹2,333 of the instalment is interest and the rest repays principal. The interest falls every month after that, because it is charged only on the balance still owed.

None of the rates on this page is an offer, and none is a Capnix rate. Capnix is not a lender. The lender that sanctions your loan sets the rate, the tenure and the fees.

₹2 lakh loan EMI table by tenure and rate

Why these three rates:

• 10.75% is the bottom of HDFC Bank's published business loan range of 10.75% to 22.50% (HDFC Bank). It is the low end of a range, not a rate offered at this amount.
• 14% is the bottom of Bajaj Finance's published unsecured business loan range of 14% to 23% (Bajaj Finance). It is also the example rate on the business loan EMI calculator.
• 18% is an example inside the published NBFC ranges, to show what a higher-risk price does to the EMI.

Every figure uses EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ ((1 + r)^n - 1). P is the loan amount, r is the monthly rate (the annual rate divided by 12 and by 100) and n is the number of months (Standard loan EMI formula). EMIs are rounded to the rupee.

Total interest on ₹2,00,000 at 14%

A longer tenure lowers the EMI but raises the total interest: ₹79,219 over 60 months against ₹46,079 over 36 months. Totals use the unrounded EMI, so they can differ by a few rupees from the rounded EMI times the months.

What a processing fee does to a ₹2 lakh loan

The EMI covers only principal and interest. One lender, Kotak Mahindra Bank, publishes a processing fee of up to 2% plus taxes (Kotak Mahindra Bank). On ₹2,00,000, a 2% fee is ₹4,000. It is usually deducted at disbursal, so about ₹1,96,000 reaches your account while the EMI stays the same. The true yearly cost is therefore higher than the stated rate.

For new MSME term loans sanctioned on or after 01-Oct-2024, the lender must give you a Key Facts Statement with the APR, the annual cost including interest and all other charges (RBI notification, 15-Apr-2024, RBI notification). Compare offers on the APR. The APR, flat and reducing rate guide shows how.

Rules and schemes that apply to a ₹2 lakh loan

• Mudra: Kishor category. ₹2,00,000 falls in Kishor, which covers loans above ₹50,000 and up to ₹5,00,000 (Mudra loan categories, Mudra FAQ). See Shishu, Kishor, Tarun and Tarun Plus.
• No collateral at banks for micro and small enterprises. Banks must not take collateral on loans up to ₹20,00,000 to micro and small enterprises sanctioned or renewed from 01-Apr-2026 (RBI notification, 09-Feb-2026). This applies only if the business is a micro or small enterprise in the bank's view.
• CGTMSE cover. CGTMSE can guarantee collateral-free loans to micro and small enterprises up to ₹10,00,00,000 per borrower at public sector, private sector and foreign banks, and up to ₹2,00,00,000 at small finance banks and regional rural banks (CGTMSE scheme document). See the CGTMSE guide, or add the guarantee fee in the MSME loan EMI calculator.
• A decision within 14 working days. For bank loans up to ₹25,00,000 to micro and small enterprises, the credit decision should come within 14 working days (RBI Master Direction, lending to MSME sector).
• A published bank rate at this size. Bank of Baroda's formula for regulatory MSME loans above ₹50,000 to ₹2,00,000 works out to 10.15% for a micro enterprise, 10.35% for a small one and 10.85% for a medium one (Bank of Baroda). See MSME loan interest rates.
• Prepayment. For floating-rate business loans to micro and small enterprises sanctioned or renewed from 01-Jan-2026, commercial banks and upper-layer NBFCs charge nothing for prepayment. Small finance banks, regional rural banks and middle-layer NBFCs charge nothing on loans up to ₹50,00,000 (RBI notification, 02-Jul-2025).

Can your business carry the EMI on ₹2,00,000?

Over 60 months at 14%, the yearly repayment on ₹2,00,000 is about ₹55,844. Lenders test whether a business can carry that in two common ways:

• DSCR compares a year's cash accruals with the year's repayments, using a formula RBI has published (RBI notification, 07-Sep-2020). See the DSCR guide or the DSCR calculator.
• FOIR compares fixed monthly obligations with monthly income. Each lender sets its own limit, because no regulator defines one (No official definition). See FOIR.

To turn your profit into an indicative loan amount, use the business loan eligibility calculator. To see how lenders are likely to read your file, the free readiness check gives your business a Capnix score from 0 to 100 and makes no hard CIBIL pull.
