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.
Applicants are generally required to be at least 21 years old. The maximum permissible age can range between 60 to 70 years, subject to the policies of the lending institution.
A consistent and reliable income source is essential to ensure the applicant’s ability to meet loan repayment obligations.
Home loans are available to salaried employees, self-employed individuals, professionals, and entrepreneurs.
Maintaining a strong credit history enhances loan approval prospects and may also help secure more favorable interest rates.
The sanctioned loan amount is typically based on the applicant’s income level, ability to repay, and the market value of the property being financed.
Home loans may carry either fixed or floating interest rates. These rates vary across lenders and are influenced by current market trends as well as the borrower’s creditworthiness.
The repayment period usually ranges between 5 to 30 years, depending on the lender’s policies and the borrower’s chosen repayment plan.
Borrowers are generally required to contribute a portion of the property's purchase price upfront, with the balance being funded through the loan.
Lenders levy a processing fee, calculated as a percentage of the total loan amount, to cover the administrative costs of evaluating and processing the loan application.
Eligible borrowers can claim tax deductions on both the principal repayment and the interest paid on the home loan under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, subject to certain conditions.
