Overview

A home loan, also referred to as a mortgage or housing finance, is a financial solution that helps individuals buy or build their own homes. It is typically a long-term borrowing arrangement offered by banks, housing finance companies, and other lending institutions. The property being purchased or constructed serves as collateral, securing the loan for the lender. Various financial entities, including banks, housing finance companies, and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), offer these types of loans.
