The basic term of any loan repayment is its interest rate. There are various types of interest rates. Fixed rate of interest is one of the most important types.
Fixed rate loans are the ones where the interest rate remains same throughout the tenure period of the loan. That means you have to pay same amount of interest all through the loan payment terms. Generally at the beginning of the loan, this rate is decided by the lender. The interest rate does not depend upon the changing market condition. Though sometimes it becomes higher than the market rate, yet it provides stability in case of the monthly payments. The tenure period is also quite long at most of the instances.
This type of interest rate is best suited for people with low or variable monthly income.
