People who have taken 15+ Lakh Loan , how are you planning to pay it? I did the maths!

General

So I got to know my brother who is in EE has taken a loan of 18L for GFTI ( including interest)

Loan TenureMonthly EMITotal Amount PaidTotal Interest Paid
5 years (60 months)₹36,934₹22.16 lakh₹4.16 lakh
10 years (120 months)₹22,319₹26.78 lakh₹8.78 lakh
15 years (180 months)₹17,725₹31.91 lakh₹13.91 lakh

See how high the EMI is ?
Lets consider 20K Home rent wiz in tier-1

Arent these numbers scary? Without a good package it will be very difficult to pay loan and build wealth!
