A loan of ₹180,000 is reduced by a payment of ₹60,000 at the middle of the year. What is the correct basis for calculating interest at 6% per annum?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹180,000 for six months and ₹120,000 for six months

The governing concept is time-based interest on the outstanding loan balance. At the start of the year, the principal is ₹180,000. The payment of ₹60,000 occurs halfway through the year, so the balance remains ₹180,000 for the first six months. Immediately after the payment, the outstanding principal becomes ₹180,000 − ₹60,000 = ₹120,000, and this reduced balance applies for the remaining six months. Thus the correct interest basis is ₹180,000 for six months and ₹120,000 for six months. If calculated, interest = ₹180,000 × 6% × 6/12 + ₹120,000 × 6% × 6/12 = ₹5,400 + ₹3,600 = ₹9,000. Option A ignores repayment, C applies the reduction too early, and D confuses payment with the outstanding balance.
