Reverse Mortgage

To tackle the growing financial insecurity faced by many seniorcitizens post retirement, HelpAge India and National Housing Bank(a housing finance regulator) joined hands with the hope to provide

a solution for them through Reverse Mortgage

The maximum period for a Reverse Mortgage loan is 15 years.

On the death of the senior citizen/s availing Reverse Mortgage or on

permanent vacating of the residential property, the loan is repaidwith the interest accumulated, by selling off the property oralternatively their heirs can repay the loan.

Reverse Mortgage offers a ray of hope to senior citizens during thesecond innings of their life.


11/27

Senior Citizens Association

SCAs are effective mechanisms through which older peoplecan prepare for and respond to disasters within theircommunities. Senior Citizens through their experience andfamiliarity with their communities are well placed to

identify the needs and vulnerabilities of their families andneighbors, including the most vulnerable older people, aspart of disaster preparedness planning.

Participation in SCAs has contributed to increasedconfidence amongst older people, particularly older women.Involving older people in the planning processes will resultin the inclusion of older people in emergencyresponses, thus mainstreaming ageing in disaster riskreduction plans and activities.
