With women recognising their true potential and becoming financially independent, they are now weighing in on major life decisions, such as purchasing a house or investing in properties. This has led various lending institutions to come up with exclusive Home Loans for women offering a host of benefits for women homebuyers. Read on to learn about the top Home Loan benefits for women.
Home Loan Benefits for Women in India
Banks and financial institutions in India offer various schemes and exclusive Home Loan benefits for women to encourage them to invest in assets. Here is a look at the top ones –
1. Preferential Home Loan Interest Rate
Some lenders may offer relatively cheaper Home Loan interest rates. While the subsidized rate of interest may not be significantly lower than the regular Home Loan, however, even a slight difference may affect the overall monthly instalments, making it easier and more convenient for women to repay the loan amount.
2. Home Loan Tax Benefits
Lenders also offer income tax rebates for women on Home Loan repayments. As per the Income Tax Act Section 80C and Section 24, a maximum amount of Rs.1..5 Lakh and Rs.2 Lakh are deductible on principal amount and interest repayment respectively. Besides, if the woman is married, both partners having their sources of income and co-ownership of the property are eligible for tax deductions.
3. Reduced Stamp Duty
The government charges 1-2% lesser stamp duty on Home Loan for women than for male counterparts in certain states. Although the rate may seem nominal, it accounts for a substantial amount considering the total property cost.
4. Repayment Tenure
One of the many Home Loan benefits for ladies is the longer repayment tenure. An extended loan tenure of up to 32 years offers a fairer chance of repayment as it lowers the Home Loan EMIs, making it easier for women to settle the entire amount while taking care of other commitments.
5. Higher Loan Amount
With lending institutions increasing sanctions to attract female homebuyers, women can get a high loan amount of up to INR 50 Crores* to purchase a property. This combined with simpler home loan eligibility makes it easier for women to apply for a home loan. For instance, some of the best Home Loan providers require salaried individuals to be between 23 and 67 years** of age with at least 3 years of work experience to be able to get a Home Loan in India

CIBIL Score | 750+ |
**The upper age limit is considered as age at the time of loan maturity. Additionally, the upper age limit for applicants is subject to change, depending on the property profile.
