Raising your EMI costs less overall

You pay ₹2,09,331 less interest with Option 1 (same tenure). Many banks extend the tenure by default after a hike, so ask yours if you can pay the higher EMI instead.

Your EMI at every rate step

Every 0.25% move changes EMI by about ₹16 per ₹1 lakh

On your ₹30,00,000 loan at 8.50% for 20 yr, that is roughly ₹477 a month.
