Delete12a MI, monthly installment? Aka monthly payment. EMI is subset of MI!
ReplyDeleteEMI : Equated Monthly Installment
DeleteCan't find any reference to MI = monthly installment. Where did you see it?
Agree with you Bhavan!
DeleteI have come across MP as monthly payment but not MI as monthly instalment. I have not seen in my dictionaries as such for MI.
Probably it is a non-standard one?
Sorry. Spoke from my experience (from SBH days) where monthly installment on reducing balance was the norm before EMI took over.
DeleteI too find difficult locating any online ref.
What is SBH?
DeleteState bank of Hyderabad.
