now if i put this amount in Fixed Deposit at 10%

after 3 yrs i get around 2.68 Lac.

means its profitable to take loan.

but in this case where butter and bread for banks ? i know i am missing something here.

can someone please point it out ?

Thanks
The loan is on monthly reducing principal. Had u being paying lumpsum for ur loan at the end of 3 years then the amount would be paying would have been more than that earned with FD.

For the EMI amount that u are paying for the first month., u would be looking interest for remaining 35months...

so you should compare your Rs. 2Lac FD as 36 fds of Rs. 5555.55 which mature at the end of 1,2,3,...35,36 months u will find that the total outflow as per to EMI is more than the money u are earning by FDs.
