  • Top 7 Benefits of Taking a Home Loan in 2024

A Home Loan is a type of secured loan offered by banks or NBFCs to assist borrowers in purchasing a residential property. The lender evaluates their financial situation, credit history, and other relevant factors to determine the borrower's eligibility and the terms of the loan. 

Home Loans play a significant role in making homeownership accessible to homebuyers. They offer benefits such as tax deductions, and the potential for property appreciation, making them a beneficial financial tool for achieving the dream of owning a home. Let us explore the 7 benefits of a Home Loan.   

Benefits of Taking a Home Loan

Home Loan Help You Save on Taxes

When you take a Home Loan to fund the purchase of your home, you are eligible to claim tax deductions of up to a maximum of Rs.2,00,000 on interest repayment under Section 24(b). Under Section 80C borrowers can claim tax exemption of up to a maximum of Rs.1,50,000 on payments made towards principal repayment. Thus, Home Loans help you save a significant amount of money each year through tax benefits.  

Assure Risk-Free Property 

If you obtain a Home Loan, your lender will only approve the loan after conducting property due diligence. This implies that, in addition to examining your paperwork and background, the lender will also check any property papers to ensure there are no disputes. Thus, once a lender authorizes your loan, you can be confident that the property you're investing in is legally risk-free. 

Contribute to Wealth Growth

Home Loans allow you to build an asset the value of which will invariably appreciate in the future. Thus, in a way, Home Loans allow you to build wealth.  

Low-Interest Rate Loans 

Home Loans are low-interest rate loans. Low interest rates make loan repayment feasible, making it convenient for all homebuyers to purchase their own residential property.   

Come with a Long Tenor

Home Loans involve a substantial amount of funds and therefore, borrowers sanction these loans for a period stretching up to 40 years. This ensures easy and convenient repayment.   

Helps You Improve Your Credit Score 

Your credit score depicts your creditworthiness as well as your repayment capacity. To be eligible for any kind of loan, you must have a credit score of 750 or above. Home Loans allow you to build your creditworthiness and borrower profile. When you pay your Home Loan EMIs on time, your credit score automatically increases.  

Come with a Refinancing Facility

If you wish to transfer your existing Home Loan balance to another lender for a lower interest rate or long repayment tenor, you can do so by availing of a Home Loan Balance Transfer facility. This is known as loan refinancing. Some lenders also offer a Top-up Loan for housing expenses on transferring their Home Loan balance.
