Understanding Your Business Loan EMI: A Key to Smart Financial Planning
An EMI, or Equated Monthly Instalment, is the fixed amount you pay every month towards your business loan. This payment covers both the principal (loan amount) and the interest. Instead of manually calculating this amount, you can simply use an online EMI calculator that does all the work for you.
Let's see how a business loan EMI calculator works:
Using a business loan EMI calculator is simple. You need to enter three basic details: The loan amount you plan to borrow
The interest rate offered by the bank or lender
The tenure of your loan in months or years
Once you fill in these values, the calculator will display your monthly EMI, the total interest over the loan period, and the overall repayment amount.
The EMI is calculated based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. A longer tenure generally results in a lower EMI, but you may end up paying more interest. Conversely, a shorter tenure means higher EMI but potentially less interest in the long run. The calculator uses these values to provide a consistent monthly repayment amount throughout the loan term.
Using a business loan EMI calculator can be beneficial for several reasons:
Knowing your EMI in advance helps with planning monthly expenses. You can check whether the repayment aligns with your business cash flow without causing any financial pressure.
If you are exploring loan offers from multiple lenders, you can use the calculator to compare them. You can input different interest rates or tenures to see which loan might be more manageable over time.
Manual calculations can be time-consuming and prone to errors. A calculator provides accurate results quickly, aiding faster decision-making for loan applications.
With clear EMI details, you can make informed decisions about adjusting the loan amount, tenure, or discussing interest rate with the lender.
A business loan EMI calculator is a helpful tool for making informed borrowing decisions. It offers a clear understanding of how much you will repay each month and assists in selecting a loan plan that aligns with your business goals. Whether you are starting a new venture or expanding your current operations, this tool can contribute to more accurate and less stressful financial planning.

Govt to call financial bids for IDBI stake sale by Oct-Dec: Divestment secy
New Delhi: The government is preparing to invite financial bids in the third quarter (October-December) of FY26 for a strategic stake sale of IDBI Bank, as potential buyers have completed due diligence, Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) secretary Arunish Chawla said on Friday. 'All data room protocols have been finalized for interested bidders,' Chawla told reporters, indicating that the divestment process is now ready to move into its final stages. 'We hope to invite the financial bids by Q3, FY26,' he said, adding that the government is aiming to finalize the winning bidder before the close of the current financial year (FY26). Mint had reported on 23 July, citing sources, that the government will likely focus solely on completing the strategic sale of IDBI Bank by December, and push its disinvestment plans for other public sector undertakings to the last quarter of FY26. The IDBI Bank sale is being jointly executed by the central government and state-run Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), which together own more than 94% of the bank. The Centre holds a 45.48% stake, while LIC owns 49.24%. The proposed transaction involves offloading a 60.72% stake in total. The IDBI Bank stake sale is expected to fetch about ₹ 50,000 crore for the government and LIC. Mint had earlier reported that potential suitors for the IDBI Bank stake include Fairfax India Holdings (promoter of CSB Bank), Emirates NBD, and Kotak Mahindra Bank. Meanwhile, Chawla also said that the Request for Proposal (RFP) process forLife Insurance Corporation of India(LIC) stake sale has been completed. "Merchant bankers for LIC and public sector financial institutions (including public sector banks) have been appointed for three years, extendable to five years," Chawla said. On 11 March, Mint reported that the central government may divest 2-3% of its stake in LIC in 2025-26, depending on market conditions, as part of its efforts to meet the mandated 10% public shareholding requirement by 2027. The government currently holds a 96.5% stake in LIC, following the sale of a 3.5% stake through the company's initial public offering (IPO) in May 2022, which raised around ₹ 21,000 crore. The LIC stock settled about 1.2% lower at ₹ 884.60on the BSE on Friday. To be sure, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had initially set a May 2024 deadline for LIC to comply with the 10% minimum public shareholding rule. However, this deadline was extended till 16 May 2027, providing the insurer additional time to meet the requirement. LIC's market capitalization at the time of listing in May 2022 stood at about ₹ 5.5 trillion, making it India's fifth most-valuable company. However, the company's value has eroded considerably since then. Chawla also said that the ministry of finance is doing a weekly capital review of public sector enterprises (PSEs) to ensure that they meet their targets and continue to energize the economy amid the ongoing geopolitical challenges. "PSEs will continue with performance milestones and the capex programme to sustain the economic growth momentum," he added.

TCS layoff a business call, doesn't warrant state intervention: Karnataka IT minister
New Delhi: India's biggest technology services company's recent decision to lay off 2% of its workforce does not warrant any intervention from the government of Karnataka since it was a business decision, said Priyank Kharge, minister for information technology in the state government. Speaking with Mint on the sidelines of the inauguration of the 2025 Bengaluru Tech Summit in here on Friday, Kharge said: 'As far as I'm aware, TCS (Tata Consultancy Services Ltd) overestimated their business and had a heavy bench strength, thus leading to a course correction. A very little part of it had to do with artificial intelligence (AI)," the state's minister said. "Now, be it AI or any other disruptive technology, the industry needs to ensure that their human resources remain on top of necessary skills. As the state government, we need to work with industries to ensure that the available talent becomes more employable.' He said a government intervention will only be required if the state assesses that AI upskilling incentives are needed to ensure its technology workforce does not lose jobs. Kharge's statement comes on the back of Karnataka labour minister Santosh Lad's statement on Wednesday that TCS' layoff decision was 'alarming' and that the state would 'look into the labour law' to see if there have been any violations by India's largest homegrown tech services firm. On 27 July, TCS announced that it will 'release' 2% of its global workforce, or 12,000 employees, through the year. Chief executive K. Krithivasan said in an email to employees that the layoffs will primarily affect mid- to senior-level employees, whose deployment 'may not be feasible' due to the impact on business from new technologies, including the advent of AI in enterprises. TCS, which houses over 600,000 employees around the world, counts Bengaluru as one of its largest hubs. However, the city, known colloquially as 'India's Silicon Valley', has recently come under pressure due to rising rental costs and congestion. Notwithstanding these challenges, Kharge said the state does not expect to lose out on a boom in India's global capability centres (GCCs) from major foreign firms, such as financial services giant JPMorgan Chase, retail major Walmart, energy giant Shell, engineering group Bosch, and others. Each of these companies, to be sure, have GCCs in Karnataka. 'As part of our state industry policy, we do not offer subsidies and incentives to any party setting up offices and hubs in Bengaluru. We have 850 major GCCs, and about 1,500 overall GCCs taking small capability centres into account," the minister said. "Now, we have identified clusters around the Bengaluru area as part of our state economic policy, which include Manipal-Udupi-Mangaluru, Hubbali-Belagavi-Dharwad, Kalaburagi, Ballari, and Mysuru-Ramanagara.' Kharge said the Karnataka government is helping companies with infrastructure in these regions and offering them incentives to set up a plug-and-play model in these cities. "For instance, a Fortune 500 company can experiment with the local talent pool in these cities by setting up a small office of 250 employees for a year, and then let us know what they additionally require,' he added. The plug-and-play policy in question is applicable to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), startups, and manufacturing firms as well, in what Kharge said was a 'customized' incentive policy, based on demand. There is, however, competition in the space from other states. Earlier this month, the Telangana chief minister's office said the state is close to introducing a 'custom GCC policy', akin to what Kharge described. Data from Telangana's government notes the presence of 355 GCCs as of June. Industry advocacy body Nasscom had said in February that India's GCC industry, set to generate $110 billion in annual revenue by FY30, counts Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu as the top contenders to Karnataka's current leadership as India's technology hub. Kharge said Karnataka was not perturbed by competition. 'My closest competitor is Telangana, which houses 210,000 IT services companies, compared with 450,000 that I host in Karnataka. Even in other sectors, I'm competing with Tamil Nadu to attract manufacturing firms, and with Maharashtra for sector-agnostic foreign direct investments. Nearly 65% of India's aerospace and defence industry is based in my state, and last year, GCCs leased 77.2 million sq ft of office space, 47% of which was in Bengaluru itself,' he added.
