Navigating the Home Loan process can be complex but being well-prepared can significantly increase your chances of approval. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the key things you need to get approved for a Home Loan.
1. Proof of Income
Lenders need to verify your ability to repay the loan. Provide recent income details, tax returns, and if applicable, documentation of additional income sources such as bonuses or overtime.
2. Credit Score
Your credit score is a key factor in determining Home Loan eligibility and interest rates. A higher score can lead to better loan terms. Check your credit score before applying and take steps to improve your CIBIL score if necessary.
3. Employment Verification
Lenders will verify your employment status to ensure you have a stable income. You may have to share contact information for your employer or provide recent work stability proof if you're self-employed.
4. Down Payment
Having a down payment reduces the loan amount and demonstrates financial responsibility. The typical down payment varies between 10% - 30%, depending on the property’s value. While the down payment does not directly affect your Home Loan approval, you may have to make a down payment for the loan amount to be disbursed.
5. FOIR
Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio or FOIR is a parameter through which lenders check an applicant’s loan eligibility. Lower FOIR means a lower financial obligation than the monthly income. This means the applicant has enough disposable income to pay off the loan. On the other hand, a higher FOIR implies that the borrower doesn’t have enough disposable income to repay the loan and may default EMIs. Therefore, applicants with a lower FOIR may benefit from lower interest rates.
Securing a Home Loan requires careful preparation and attention to detail. By understanding the requirements, you can be well on your way to making your dream of homeownership a reality. Start early, and organise your documents, so that you can navigate the Home Loan approval process with confidence and ease.
