A home loan is kind of loan people take from banks and NBFCs to
buy, repair, renovate and construct their homes. There are two
types of interest rates in home loan- one is fixed interest rate
and the other is floating interest rates.
Owning a house is not that easy nowadays. If you have an ancestral
house, you have to maintain it. Otherwise you have to buy a flat,
house or plot. But the present condition is not helping anything.
So if you are planning something about your home or for your home,
you have to take a home loan. The interest rate is also low for
home loan. And the tenure is also long which will help you to
repay the loan.
The most important part is if
you repay your home loan timely your CIBIL Score will be also
high. That will help you in your portfolio if you apply for loan
for the next time. The interest rate of any loan depends a lot on
CIBIL so if you have a CIBIL score in the range of 650-850 it will
be easier to get any kind of loan.
This question comes often that why home loan? Why you will take
home loan if you have an option of personal loan? Because we all
know that personal loan is an unsecured loan and home loan is a
secured loan. While you are taking a home loan you must mortgage
your property to that financial institution. But there are some
points you should know why home loan is more preferable for you.
Let’s discuss about it.
Lowest Interest Rate
When you are
getting a personal loan with the interest rate of 15% same time
you are getting a housing loan with interest rate of 8% isn’t it
attractive? And taking a housing loan is a long term decision so
you should check interest rates very carefully.
Time
There is so many banks out there
offers home loan for a long tenure. Don’t fall for this. Your
home loan becomes more expensive with longer tenure. So try to
choose tenure which is helpful to you. At the end of the day you
have to repay your loan so why should choose longer tenure!
Income Tax Act (I)
Here is one of the
thing you should know about home loan. When you are paying
housing loan, it has two sections- payment of interest and
principal repayment. The interest you paid for the EMI of that
year can be claimed as a deduction of up to 2lakhs under the
section of 24 Income Tax Act 1961.

portion of EMI you are repaying to bank can be claimed as a
deduction of 1.5lakhs under the section of 80C income tax 1961.

kind of home loan which is offered to the customer who already
have existing piece of land and they need to make a house or
home there. If that piece of land was bought from earlier than
one year the price of that land will be omitted from that loan
amount.
Construction loans are slightly different from
other home loans.
Loan for purchasing home

easiest loan in the categories as its names says “Home Loan”.

Most of the banks and NBFCs give this kind of home loan.

loan for home renovation.

have a home loan on your head and you have mortgage that house
to the bank and then you move out to another house that house
will be mortgaged house on bank which is called home conversion
loan.

can transfer your housing loan from one bank to another. This
loan is called Balance Transfer Home Loan. This thing helps you
to get better interest rate.

for non resident Indians. This is little bit different from
regular home loan.

duty charges this kind of loan is offered from bank.

and want to buy a new one you can apply for this kind of loan.

that new house till the last day of repaying your loan.
There are some eligibility criteria, you have to follow before
taking a home loan. Because bank will check your eligibility if
you are able to repay your loan or not. So if you are planning to
take a loan you should check yourself if you have these
eligibility criteria-
Age
You are taking a home loan for
your dream home so your age should be in 21 to 50. Your loan
repayment should be complete between 60 to 65 years.
Employment Status
You should be
salaried or self employed for getting a home loan.
Earning
You should earn at least 5-7
lakhs in a year for getting a home loan. Basically it depends on
if you are salaried or non salaried.
Living Quarters
You should live in
the current residence at least one year to prove your residence.
This is a hidden home loan eligibility which matters a lot.
On-Going Loans
Banks and other
financial institutions always check that fact if there is any
other ongoing loan on your head. So you can repay minimum
installment of your loan.
Credit Score
Last but not the least
you’re Credit Score which matters a lot in your loan eligibility
criteria. If you have a credit score of 650-950, it will be very
easy to get a home loan on lowest interest rate for you but if
your credit score is under 650 it will be a huge problem.

talk about those fees and charges.

process of the loan. You won’t get this amount back. This is non
refundable. Every bank has different processing fees.
Late Payment Charges
Let’s appreciate one fact sometimes we all run out of money or
sometimes we all have some financial issues that’s why we can’t
repay our loan on time. That’s why bank charges some extra money
from us as late payment charge.

repay your home loan before the time banks take a charge which
