An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) is a monthly payment made by a borrower to a financial institution for the loan availed. The EMI is made up of two components, namely the principal and interest. This means that with each payment, the borrower pays back a portion of the loan amount as principal and a certain amount as interest. By the end of the loan term, the borrower would have paid back both the principal and interest amounts in full.

Pre-EMI refers to the interest amount paid by borrowers till the final disbursement is made and the EMI begins. This amount is the interest on the disbursed loan amount and is payable monthly from the date of each disbursement until the commencement of the EMI.
