What you could have had if every EMI rupee was compounded instead.

Assumption: The ₹3,81,33,659 figure assumes you continue investing the equivalent EMI amount as a monthly SIP for the full 30-year horizon — not just during the EMI tenure. For the 12-month-only scenario, the corpus at month 12 is ₹1,38,379 (shown above), which then compounds at 12% CAGR to ₹37,01,629 over the remaining 29 years if left untouched.
