Please read terms and conditions mentioned carefully. If prematurity payment is not conditioned then you can do the same. But normally financers put some conditions to restrict pre-maturity payment.

  What is important is tax exemption for part repayment that one gets , on interest component , that is covered u/s 24(b), assuming a person is paying , interest on boorrowed capital / home loan, to the tune of Rs1,70000/- which can be claimed to be deduction , to avail  more deduction , he should (prudently) pay Rs 30000 Extra , to Banks or fiannacing institution , to avil max deduction, of Rs200000/0, such that his net IT demand too will be lowered.
