What a balance transfer would actually save you.
Most calculators show the monthly saving and stop. The number that decides it is the break-even month — when the switching cost is finally behind you. If you are selling within a year, the answer is usually no.
Processing fee, legal and valuation, CERSAI, plus stamp duty and registration on the fresh mortgage. Since the Gujarat Stamp (Amendment) Act 2025 took effect on 10 April 2025 that mortgage duty is 0.25% capped at ₹5,000 on a loan up to ₹1 crore — it used to reach ₹25,000. With registration, about ₹7,000 all in.

How do I work out the break-even on a home loan balance transfer?
Divide your total switching cost by your monthly EMI saving. If moving the loan costs ₹21,900 and saves ₹3,480 a month, break-even is about seven months, and everything after that is yours. As a rule of thumb, a break-even beyond twenty-four months is not worth the effort.
What does switching a home loan cost in Gujarat?
Budget ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 on a typical Gandhinagar file — the new lender's processing fee, legal and technical valuation, CERSAI, and the stamp duty and registration on the fresh mortgage. Since 10 April 2025 that mortgage duty has been capped at ₹5,000 for loans up to ₹1 crore, where it previously reached ₹25,000.
