So, after a balanced evaluation, keeping all factors in mind, it is best in most cases to not prepay a home loan aggressively. It is poignant to invest smartly and find attractive investment opportunities either in debt or equity and earn a superior return compared to the tax adjusted interest rate paid on the home loan.
