How Does a Home Loan Work in India?

Real estate purchases can be a lot to bear without external financial support. If you are considering a property purchase, you can also consider availing of a Home Loan to help you meet the cost of the property.

A housing loan allows you to access sizeable funding to facilitate the purchase of the residential property you want to buy, and repay the sum over a predetermined period, at a predetermined interest rate over an extended period of time.

Eligible salaried and professional borrowers can avail of funds from Bajaj Housing Finance at an interest rate starting as low as 8.50%* p.a., with a tenor ranging up to 40 years.

Here are a few things to bear in mind while you consider borrowing a Home Loan:

• Eligibility Criteria: An applicant’s eligibility is based on the property in question and the applicant’s financial situation, income, employment, and credit profile. You should ensure that your eligibility matches that of the lenders’ to reduce your chances of rejection.
• Project Approval: Another important aspect to consider is the profile of your selected property. It should match the lender’s risk and lending parameters for you to be eligible to seek a loan for the property.
• Applicable Tenor: A loan for a property usually comes with a repayment period of up to 40 years. However, do weigh your options before picking your tenor, as it has a direct impact on your potential interest outflow.
• Prepayment Guidelines: As per RBI guidelines, individual borrowers with a floating interest rate loan do not pay any additional charges on prepayment or foreclosure on Housing Loans. However, do make sure you’ve researched the policies applicable to you, and are prepared to bear additional costs, if any.
