An Introduction to Home loans
1. What is a Home loan? Home loan is the sum of money a bank or financial institution lends you to help you buy your dream home.
By taking a home loan from a bank or a housing finance company you pledge
your home as the lender’s security for repayment of your loan. The bank or
financial institution will hold the title or deed to the property till the loan has
been paid back with the interest due for it.
Home loans are generally taken for long tenures as the loan amount is usually a
huge sum. A home loan can be taken anywhere between 5 and 30 years. The
amount of loan one is eligible for is dependent on the individual’s credit profile.

2. What is a down payment? What are the ways in which one can source his / her down payment?
Generally as a thumb rule, banks or financial institutions lend 85% of the cost of
the property. 15% of the money is expected to be paid as a down payment for
the loan.
Opting for a personal loan if you can afford that cost as well, pledging your
investments, getting loan against your insurance policy etc. are some ways to
liquidate your assets and pay your down payment.
3. Are there any specific loans available for NRIs?
Yes, there are specific loans that are tailored for the requirements of NRIs who
wish to build or buy a home in India.
4. What is reverse mortgage?
This loan facility allows a senior citizen (above 60 years of age) eligible to
apply for a reverse mortgage loan and avail 60% of the value of the residential
property he resides in and retain the right to continue to reside there. The
maximum tenure for this loan scheme is 15 years.

Loan Eligibility & Cost
1. Who is eligible for a home loan?
Indians with a regular source of income, which includes salaried individuals,
self-employed professionals, self-employed business people, NRI individuals
and existing property owners who can pledge it as security for the loan, are all
eligible for a home loan. The individual applying for the loan should be above
21 years of age, when the loan period begins and should be less than 65 years
when the loan period closes.
2. What are the other factors, which are relevant for home loan eligibility?
- Purpose of the loan - (purchase of property, improvement, purchase of land)
- Age
- Income (savings history)
- Experience & Qualification (stability and continuity of occupation)
- Employer
- Existing loans

- Number of dependents
- Credit History (Past repayment history)
- Resident status (The maximum loan that can be sanctioned to a resident Indian
is Rs.5, 000,000)
3. What are the factors included in the total loan cost?
Registration charges, transfer charges and stamp duty costs apart from the actual
loan amount are included in the total cost calculation of the home loan.
4. How much loan can one avail?
The amount of loan you can avail depends on factors like salary details,
qualifications, employer/business, years of experience, growth prospects,
alternate employment prospects and sources of other income, if any. Generally,
about 40% of your monthly gross income can be availed as your loan amount.
For self-employed applicants, profit is the benchmark that determines loan
value. The longer the time frame for repaying the loan the lower the EMI and
this also means you can opt for a larger loan amount. The loan amount you are
eligible for is also dependent on other factors like the company you are
employed with, the location of your residence and your credit history.

To know how much money you are eligible for, to compare banks and figure
who offers you the best loan bargain.
5. What are the other costs that usually accompany a home loan?
Home loans are usually accompanied by the following extra costs:
a) Processing Charge: It is a fee paid to the lender when you apply for a loan. It
could either be a fixed amount not linked to the loan or could also be a
percentage of the loan amount.
b) Pre-payment Penalty: When a loan is paid back before the end of the agreed
duration, a penalty is charged by some banks/financial institutions, which could
be up to 5% of the amount pre-paid.
c) Commitment Fees: Some institutions levy a commitment fee in case the loan
is not availed within a stipulated period of time after it is processed and
sanctioned.
d) Miscellaneous Costs: Some lenders may levy a documentation or consultant
charge.
e) Registration charges of the mortgage deed.

6. What are the details of some of the incentives offered by housing finance institutions?
Some lending institutions sanction the loan without requiring you to identify a
property as a prerequisite for eligibility
a) Free accident insurance
b) Discounts
c) Waiving of pre-payment penalty
d) Waiving of processing fee
e) Free Property Insurance
7. When can one take a home loan?
You can take a home loan before or after identifying the property you want to
purchase or when the property is under construction or for purchasing a plot of
land for investment or to renovate an existing home.
8. Can one have a co-applicant for a home loan?
Yes, it is good to have a co-applicant. This can help you increase the loan
amount you are eligible for as the income of the co-applicant is also taken into
consideration. Providing additional security like bonds, fixed deposits and LIC
policies will also help in enhancing eligibility.

RAVI MATARIA
Page 7 of 64
9. Who is eligible to be a co-applicant?
The co-owner of the property you are going to purchase should also be a co-
borrower/co-applicant. The reverse however is not stressed by lending
institutions. Financial institutions accept a parent or spouse as an ideal choice
for a co-applicant. A fiancée can also become a co-applicant but the loan
disbursal will begin only after the submission of the marriage certificate.
10. What is EMI? How is it calculated?
An equated monthly Installment (EMI) is the amount of money that is paid back
to the lender on a monthly basis. It is essentially made up of two parts, the
principal amount and the interest on the principal amount equally divided across
each month in the loan tenure. The EMI is always paid up to the bank or lender
on a fixed date each month until the total amount due is paid up during the
tenure.
The EMI facility helps the borrower plan his budget. The EMI is calculated
taking into account the loan amount, the time frame for repaying the loan and
the interest rate on the borrowed sum.

11. What is the difference between a fixed interest rate and floating interest rate?
A fixed interest rate remains constant throughout the loan tenure regardless of
the market conditions whereas a floating interest rate can decrease or increase
depending on market fluctuations. For instance, it increases when RBI hikes up
short term interest rates. Banks usually quote the floating rate loans as their
index rate (prime lending rate) plus or minus x%. Banks usually increase or
decrease their prime lending rate when the RBI increases or decreases short
term interest rates.
12. What are the different types of interest rates available?
Interest rates are quoted either as fixed flat rates or reducing balance rates. In
the flat rate method of interest calculation, the outstanding loan amount is never
reduced during the entire tenure of the loan even though you make payments
monthly.
In the case of reducing balance interest rates the EMI is calculated on the basis
of daily, monthly, quarterly or annual rests. A ‘rest’ indicates the time frame in
which the bank will recalculate the EMI based on the amount of loan paid back
and the frequency of any compounding interest rate. Suppose you have a loan
with an annual ‘rest’ then, though you pay a monthly installment, your benefit
kicks in only at year end, here the bank gets to benefit. A monthly ‘rest’ will
recognize the reduction in the loan amount on a monthly basis, a quarterly rest
ANALYZING THE HOME LOAN MARKET AND DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN THE MARKET VIS-A-VIS THEIR MARKET SHARE.
RAVI MATARIA
Page 9 of 64
does it every quarter while a daily ‘rest’ will do it each day. The more closely
the rest matches the frequency of your payments, the lower the total interest
paid as the total outstanding loan amount is reduced by your monthly payments
more frequently.
13. What is an amortization schedule?
An amortization schedule is a table giving the reduction of your loan amount by
monthly installments. The amortization schedule gives the breakup of every
EMI towards repayment interest and outstanding principal of your loan.
14. What are the factors one need to keep in mind while comparing loans from different financial institutions?
A loan applicant needs to keep a few things in mind when comparing loans. The
applicant needs to determine the kind of loan and the amount he wants to apply
for. He needs to keep in mind the total cost of the loan, which will be paid up by
the end of his loan tenure.
The second step is to understand the terms and conditions under which financial
institutions are offering the loan. Finally he needs to evaluate, which loan offer
is the best bet for him. Search for your home loan at BankBazaar.com to gain
access to the most interactive tools in helping you compare and evaluate the best
deal you can get from any bank of your choice.
ANALYZING THE HOME LOAN MARKET AND DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN THE MARKET VIS-A-VIS THEIR MARKET SHARE.
RAVI MATARIA
Page 10 of 64
Other factors that you should look out for are customer service levels and the
average time the bank takes to process a loan.
15. Can one avail a tax rebate on my home loan?
Section 80C and Section 24 grant income tax rebates to people who have taken
home loans.
These tax deductions are capped at 1 lakh for the principal repaid and 1.5 lakhs
for the interest repaid.
16. What are the loan tenure options?
You have the option of selecting a loan tenure you are comfortable with,
ranging up to 25 years, provided the term does not extend beyond your reaching
65 years of age or retirement age, whichever is earlier.

Credit History
1. What is credit history? How does a financial institution check on my credit history?
A credit history is basically a record of your past repayments of loans and credit
card bills. Also, there is a central bank of data available with the Credit Bureau
of India Limited (CIBIL), where data from all the banks on existing loans and
their repayment patterns of their customers are accumulated. Before approving
your loan a financial institution always checks with CIBIL on your loan
repayment track record.
2. Is the repayment track record of my previous loans considered in calculating my eligibility for a new loan?
It definitely has its benefits! A good repayment track record could fetch you a
higher loan amount at a lower interest rate as it is standing proof for your money
management capabilities. In case of a bad repayment record you will be charged
high interest rates and you will find it difficult to obtain a loan.

RAVI MATARIA
Page 12 of 64
3. If a loan application is rejected, does that reflect on my record?
Every time you apply for a loan to a financial institution, your credit report with
CIBIL is checked and the inquiry appears on the record. Many such inquiries
will adversely affect the interest rates you are charged and will make your
borrowing options limited as it suggests you are likely to be facing a financial
crunch.

5. Is it a must to apply for insurance cover for ones property?
Though it is not a must, considering the huge sum of money spent on
purchasing the property it is a sound practice to have it insured to protect
yourself against any danger that might befall on the property. Usually property
insurance comes as an incentive with your home loans after a certain period.
Insurance rates are usually very affordable.
6. What is a ‘No Objection Certificate’?
This certificate states that it allows the property to be mortgaged by the bank.
This comes into effect in instances like a co-operative society that owns the
property but whose members have a right to reside in the premises and also
transfer the rights to someone else. This is also true in the case of leased land on
which property is built. In this instance, the property is owned by the borrower
but the land on which the property is built legally belongs to a development
authority. This certificate safeguards the interests of the Bank.
7. When does a property become `pre-approved’?
When a bank has already verified the title documents of the property of a
particular builder, it files them in the bank records and labels them “pre-
approved”. This means that when a buyer approaches the bank for purchasing a

Tranche Based EMI
Customers purchasing an under construction property need to pay interest (on
the loan amount drawn based on level of construction) till the property is ready.
To help customer save this interest, we have introduced a special facility of
tranche Based EMI. Customers can fix the installments they wish to pay till the
property is ready. The minimum amount payable is the interest on the loan
amount drawn. Anything over and above the interest paid by the customer goes
towards Principal repayment. The customer benefits by starting EMI and hence
repays the loan faster.
Accelerated Repayment Scheme
Accelerated Repayment Scheme offers you a great opportunity to repay the loan
faster by increasing the EMI. Whenever you get an increment, increase in your
disposable income or have lump sum funds for loan prepayment, you can
benefit by:
Increase in EMI means faster loan repayment
Saving of interest because of faster loan repayment
You can invest lump sum funds rather than use it for loan prepayment. The
return from the investments also gives you the comfort of paying the increased
EMI.

Vital Tips for Home Loans
To increase your loan eligibility, combine your income with that
of your spouse, children or parents
Always negotiate - the first home loan interest rate quoted is never
the final rate
Before paying the loan processing fee request lender for
preliminary check on the property
Buy Loan Protector Life Insurance - ensure your family can use
the house if you are not alive
Immediate disbursement get best rates – talk to home loan
providers when you are close to finalizing your property
How much loan to take?
Please consider the following factors before deciding upon the size of your loan:
A. Income
You need to consider the amount of money that you earn as well as the stability
of your income. Many people choose to take a more expensive home upfront as
they think that their income will increase as a result of their income growth and
career progress. This will make even large EMI payments an ever decreasing
percentage of their monthly expenses.
ANALYZING THE HOME LOAN MARKET AND DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN THE MARKET VIS-A-VIS THEIR MARKET SHARE.
RAVI MATARIA
Page 62 of 64
Some of the questions that you need to answer before making this decision are:
How much increase do you expect on a yearly basis? How confident are
you in getting this raise?
Is there any risk of you losing your job such that you might not be able to
afford to pay the EMI?
What are your chances of getting a new job in case you lose your present
one?
Will large EMI payments interfere with your goals of retiring early,
taking a mid career break, or even paying for your children's education
and marriage?
Will your spouse continue to work and financially contribute to the
household during the tenure of the home loan?
Do you expect to get a lump sum bonus or variable pay at the end of the
year that can be used to fund your home purchase
Have a realistic view of what your income and career prospects can support –
don't be over optimistic about your future income.
B. Personality
No two people have the same personality or attitude towards debt. Some people
can sleep soundly at night knowing that they owe Rs.30,000 per month for the
next 25 years. Other people worry about taking a loan for such a long tenure.
Know your personality type – can you live with a big loan or would you feel
safer with a small loan?
ANALYZING THE HOME LOAN MARKET AND DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN THE MARKET VIS-A-VIS THEIR MARKET SHARE.
RAVI MATARIA
Page 63 of 64
C. Expenses
The home loan lender calculates your loan eligibility based on your current debt
and monthly expenses. You must identify whether you might have other
expenses that you currently do not have, but expect to incur in the near future.
Do you have plans to buy a new car? Where will you fund the EMI for
the car from?
Have you planned for your children's college education and marriage?
Will you need money for these activities, and will you still have enough
to pay fund these after your home loan EMI?
D. Lifestyle
In life one has to prioritize one's goals and activities to achieve what is
important to us. Are you willing to change your lifestyle to get the house you
want? Maybe if you cut your spending a little, the bigger loan just might be
within your reach. Ask yourself whether you and your family can handle:
Fewer shopping trips to the mall
Less frequent expenditure on entertainment – movies, eating out, latest
cell phones
Fewer vacations, or take a domestic vacation instead of going abroad
Sometimes you do not realize how much of your money is going towards
useless expenditure. If you can cut down on this, then maybe you can afford a
bigger home loan. Discuss with your family the pros and cons of taking a bigger
loan and cutting down your family's lifestyle related spending. And do
remember that it always pays to compare home loans before taking any
decision.
