Regular closure – This kind of closure involves closing the loan in the period as mentioned in the loan agreement. You must pay your loan EMIs at regular intervals and the loan is closed at the end of the tenure period. The process is straight forward and takes place as per the mentioned terms and conditions in the loan agreement.
Pre-closure – As the name suggests, a pre-closure means that you close the loan before the end of the tenure. This way, you save a lot on your EMIs. This method can be used if you think that you are left with excess money in your budget and can pay off the loan altogether. You may be allowed to pre-close the loan only after completing the lock-in period as stated by the bank. However, you must note that there may be foreclose charge levied on the same.
Bad loan closure – Bad loan closure is used when the borrower defaults in loan repayments. It is offered in times of financial loss or bankruptcy. However, this kind of closure can have a negative impact on your credit report.

Closing a personal loan is a fairly simple process. You must connect with your bank representatives and work on ways to complete your payments.
