Pre - EMI is a burden. How can rediff miss the tax benefit of 1.5 lacs (interest comp) and 1 lac (principal comp) which one gets if he chooses ADF option. In Pre EMI one can only claim over a span of 5 years which is a long term. Also pre - emi doesnt reduce your Principal outstanding loan amount. All pre-emi is contributed to Interest component of the Loan amount. In ADF option , principal and interest both get subtracted

Thats not correct. If you opt for Pre emi, the balance principle should be invested somewhere and when you actually start the emi, pay this accumulated money to the loan itself. So, your principle also gets reduced. I think, pre emi is always better and profit making.
