An annual income of at least Rs. 1,50,000 (Rs. 1.5 lac) is the preferred requirement.
The source of income has to be regular, sufficient and continuous for consideration of loan repayment.
Banks nowadays categorize their loan amount as below and above Rs. 75 lacs, but normally the amount that can be borrowed ranges from Rs. 1,00,000 ( Rs. 1 lac) to Rs. 10,00,00,000 ( Rs. 10 crore).
For salaried person – the loan amount can be either 40-65 times their gross monthly salary or EMI up to 50%-70% their gross monthly salary, subject to applicable margin or whichever is higher.
For self employed person/businessmen – the loan amount can be up to 5 times gross annual income (+ depreciation) of last 3 years, subject to repayment of any other term liabilities.
The maximum loan tenure is 30 years for floating rate and 20 years for fixed rate.
The documents required to avail a home loan: The documents required to avail a home loan differ depending on whether you’re salaried employee, a self – employed businessman or a self – employed professional. But there are certain documents required that are common across all professions. They are –
Loans are usually repaid in equated monthly installments (EMI). The EMI is calculated using a method in which the outstanding principal is reduced as you pay and the interest charged on the outstanding balance. Lending companies use different time periods to calculate the outstanding principal.
Daily reducing - In this method, the principal gets reduced everyday i.e. you have to pay daily installments. The EMI in the daily reducing method may be less but it is impractical to make daily payments.
Monthly reducing - In the monthly reducing system, the principal is reduced with every monthly payment and the interest is calculated on the remaining balance. Most loans are computed on a monthly reducing basis.
Annual reducing – in this method too, the EMI is paid monthly but the adjustment towards interest and principal is made at the end of the year. This doesn’t work in favor of the borrower’s interest, because though the principal amount is getting reduced every month, the lender continues to charge interest on the balance that was outstanding the previous year.
Home loan consists of two components – interest repayment and principal repayment, and you can get tax benefits on both only on fulfilling certain conditions.
According to section 80C, you can claim tax deduction against principal repayment of up to Rs 1 lac, if you have taken loan from a specified lender (Banks, Housing Finance Companies, Central & State government, LIC, National Housing Bank, Public Company or a Public Sector Undertaking). Amount paid towards Stamp Duty and Registration is considered for tax deduction even if person has not taken loan.
Section 24(b) of the Income Tax Act allows you Rs. 1.5 lacs deduction for interest payable on loan borrowed (Self occupied property), to either buy or construct a house property, or even for repair or reconstruction of an existing residential property. If Property is not self occupied, there is no maximum limit.
Most banks nowadays distinguish the loan amount as below and above ₹ 75 lacs and the interest rate is given according to it. Some banks lend a maximum amount up to ₹ 10 crores, whereas some sanction an amount that is as low as ₹ 1 lac.
The interest rates are of two types – fixed and floating. The rate of interest is said to be fixed for a loan when the interest rate doesn’t fluctuate during the period of the loan. A floating rate of interest fluctuates depending on the prevailing market conditions.
The minimum interest rate that a bank charges is the base rate. The current base rate of major banks in India ranges from 10% - 10.50%.
Margin requirement and Loan-to-value ratio (LTV) is a term used to indicate the ratio of a loan to the value of an asset purchased.
Example – suppose a person wants to buy a property of ₹ 20 lacs, the LTV ratio provided by banks is 90%. So the bank will give him a loan of ₹ 18 lacs (90% of ₹ 20 lacs). The LTV ratio given by banks depends on the loan amount borrowed. For amount up to ₹ 20 lacs it is usually 90%. It is 80% for amount above ₹ 20 lacs but below ₹ 75 lacs. And for any amount above ₹ 75 lacs it is 75%
Loan availability – you can check the amount you can be eligible for (can afford), by using the Loan Eligibility Calculator available on the website.
Repayment timeframe is the period of time in which the loan amount borrowed is to be repaid to the lender. It is also known as loan tenure. The maximum loan tenure offered by banks is not more than 30 years, however in some special cases it does exceed 30 years. The minimum loan tenure is anything up to 5 years.
Processing fee is an extra fee that has to be paid to the lender for the home loan. It is usually a small percentage of the home loan amount but it is taken before the loan is sanctioned, when all the required documents are submitted by the borrower.
Some banks ask for an amount (₹ 5000, ₹ 10000) but most banks charge a percentage of the loan amount as processing fees that ranges from 0.25% to 2% depending on the loan amount. (Higher the loan amount, more the processing charge). There a few banks who don’t ask for any processing fees.
This is a fee charged by the lender when the borrower repays the loan amount before the agreed loan tenure. However, the RBI has asked banks to stop charging penalty on prepayment of home loans taken on “floating” interest rates.
A penalty for late payment is charged when the monthly installment (EMI) amount is not repaid within the scheduled date. A percentage of the loan amount is charged for late payment and ranges from 1% to 3% for each instance of late payment.
