As per title of the topic, since the interest rate is so low in 2020, is it a good idea to take fixed rate loans instead of flexi loan?

I took flexi loan many years ago and put bit extra every month and managed to pay off 30 year loan within 10 years.

Borrowers say that flexible is better than fixed. It depends.

For new borrowers, most will go maximum tenure ... 30 years to have lower monthly repayment.

If you want fixed payment without bothering interest fluctuation, go for fixed.

If you forecast can settle the loan earlier, go flexible. Sometimes, increase monthly repayment due to increase interest rate can affect a borrower with tight cashflow.

Early settlement can also be done for fixed rate.

No banks can say interest rates will be like today forever and vice versa .

30 years is a long time and also depends on the amount borrowed.

In life, we cant have the best of everything.
