PRE CLOSURE OF HOME LOAN

I'm 42 years old and working in a private company. I've availed home loan from LIC on floating interest right now it is 12%. My total loan tenure is 19 years and loan amount is 24lack & EMI is 28098. Most of the banks reduced their rate of interest but LIC is not yet done. In this situation when I approached LIC for pre closure of my loan through other banks take over system they told me that if you close the loan before the stipulated time with your own source of income with necessary proof you won't get pre closure charge if you go for other banks take over you have to pay 2% on loan outstanding as a pre closure charge is it true? Is it advisable to change to other banks or continue with LIC? As of now I've 10000 as surplus money to invest my question is whether I include this in my home loan EMI or invest in any SIP for 3 to 5 years and use it to pay the loan as part payment. Which one is best still I've to pay 22lack. As a first time investor which one is best for me with respect to my condition?
