About Kerala Gramin Bank lending
Kerala Gramin Bank is a regional rural bank sponsored by Canara Bank, with a branch network that reaches towns and villages the major private banks do not cover. Its lending is priced close to public sector benchmarks, and priority-sector schemes often make it the cheapest option for small borrowers in Kerala.
For home loans and gold loans the bank is competitive; for personal loans the rate is usually a little higher than a large public sector bank but the approval can be easier for borrowers without a formal salary slip.

How to use this calculator
- Enter the amount you plan to borrow from Kerala Gramin Bank.
- Set the rate the bank has quoted you, and the tenure in months.
- Compare the total interest with a second lender's offer — that number, not the EMI, is what a lower rate really buys you.
How the EMI is worked out
EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)n] ÷ [(1 + r)n − 1], where P is the principal, r the monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n the tenure in months. Every bank in India uses this reducing-balance method.
What an extra ₹2,000 a month would do
Same loan, same rate, one extra payment every month. This is the cheapest way to cut the total cost of any loan.
| Scenario | Monthly payment | Loan closes in | Total interest |
