Prepay principal early

Principal paid early has a compounding benefit because it prevents future interest from being charged on that amount.

Choose tenure reduction when possible

After part-payment, tenure reduction usually saves more interest than EMI reduction. EMI reduction can still be useful for cash-flow relief.
