Calculation of interest 3 types-

1) If principal amount is repaid regularly:-
Interest = n x (n+1)/2 x (x/12) x (r/100)
n=number of instalments
x=amount of each installment
r=rate of interest

2) If the repayment is not in regular process:-
Interest = A x (1/12) x (r/100)
A= Total diminishing balance
r = rate of interest..

3)If the repaid amount partly in EMI basis and the balance paid in lumpsum:-
Interest= n(A-L)/2 x r/100 x 1/12
