ADVANCE

AMOUNT

ALREADY

PAID

BY

THE

In case of flats allotted by Govt. agencies like DDA, HUDA, PUDA, NOIDA etc. the
applicants are required to deposit the entire/ part amount within a limited period for
registration of flats in their names. Sometimes it is not possible for them to raise home
loans despite their best efforts, within the specified time. In such cases, the applicants
are left with no option but to arrange funds from other sources including friends and
relatives. With a view to enable such applicants to avail Housing Loan it has been
decided to allow reimbursement of the advance amount already paid by them subject to
compliance of following terms and conditions:
(i)

In such cases, where part/advance payments have been effected, the amount
deposited with the Government Agency may be treated as margin money and the
Bank may reimburse the amount in excess of margin.
(ii) The reimbursement shall be restricted only in those cases, where flats are allotted
by Government agencies and not in case of private builders.
(iii) The borrowers should be able to provide clear documentary evidence of having
paid the amount in advance from sources, which should be clearly identifiable.
(iv) The funds raised should not be older than six months.
SECURITY
The loan shall be secured by Registered / Equitable Mortgage of the property
(House/Flat) created out of bank finance. However, where Registered / Equitable
Mortgage cannot be created immediatelya) The borrower may give an alternate property/ tangible securities having value more
than loan limit with clear titles for interim period.
b) In case the borrower is in no position to offer any alternate security and it is expected
that the title deed/security document for creation of mortgage will be available in one
or two weeks time from registrar office then on merit of the case the sanctioning
authority in such situations may permit obtention of a letter of authority (special
power of attorney) from the borrower authorizing the bank to collect the title-deeds
from the office of the sub-registrar as and when the same is ready for delivery. The
receipt/ counter foil issued by the sub registrar office shall invariably be obtained
along with such authorization. The loan disbursing Branch shall maintain a track
record of such authorization and ensure to collect the title deeds from the sub
registrar office on prescribed future date.
However, all relevant loaning documents for creation of registered / equitable
mortgage shall be obtained at the time of release of loan.

builder/developer or from public sector/ Govt. agencies like DDA, NOIDA, HUDA,
PUDA etc. where the borrower is having only share certificate/allotment
letter/agreement to sell etc. (as the case may be) as document to sanctify the
transfer of property.

Home Loan Master Circular

Page | 23

In such cases loan can be secured by obtaining undertaking, as per Annexure-14


and security documents like tripartite agreement Annexure-17&18, power of
attorney as per Annexure-6, letters from the borrower in order to reinforce the right
of the bank to recover its dues as a stopgap arrangement. These provisions are
comparatively for shorter duration.
All above option be exercised in consultation with Banks panel advocate. Further,
to obviate any contingent situation and eventualities which may arise in various
parts of the country because of local practices/law and also to make system full
proof, Regional Heads/branches shall obtain the opinion of their legal retainers to
suggest additional document if any, to supplement the above documents.

States Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Madhya
Pradesh etc. have set up Registry for registering equitable mortgages. In other states,
setting up of Registry is in process. It has been decided that wherever Registry for
registering equitable mortgages has been / shall be established in a State, it shall be
mandatory for the branches to get, equitable mortgages created by them registered with
the Registry established by the State Govt.

LOAN FOR ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION/TOP-UP LOAN ON THE EXISTING
HOUSE
Whereas we have stipulated requirements for fresh loans, position in respect of loans
for additions to house owner requires separate classification as under
1. Fresh loanees i.e. who have not availed any housing loan earlier or have repaid
their existing loans.
2. Persons who have availed housing loan from us or from any other financial
institutions and seek additional loans.
In case of borrowers falling in the first category, their loan entitlement, repayment, etc.
shall be considered in accordance with the terms of fresh Housing Loans.
In case of additional loans to existing loanees, their overall entitlement guidelines shall
be the same. However, for computing their entitlements for additional loan, the
difference between the amount of existing home loan and the fresh assessment of
MPBF based on Margin & Net take home criteria (at the time considering additional
loan) shall be worked out to arrive at the maximum entitlement for the additional loan.
In case of those borrowers whose first housing loan is outstanding with us and the
additional loan is for additions in the same house, the repayment of the additional loan
shall be so fixed that both the loans are repaid within the repayment period fixed for the
first loan.
Home Loan Master Circular

Page | 34

Further, in case of applicants who are availing housing loan from our bank, the security
shall be existing properties mortgaged with us and charge will be extended for the
additional limit and all other formalities be completed as in fresh sanctions.
SUPPLEMENTARY LOAN AND CREATION OF SECOND CHARGE
Present scheme permits supplementary housing loan to salaried persons who have
availed housing loan for construction / acquisition / renovation from their own Employer /
Department but need supplement sources to meet their additional cost of
construction/renovation etc. The security in such cases remains to be the second
charge over the property mortgaged in favour of the first lender.
As per the system in-place, the document required to create second charge, necessitate
physical delivery of the title documents by the first lender to the bank. It has been
experienced by the branches that while the Central govt. Ministries readily agree to part
with the title-documents to Bank but other departments/PSU do not generally agree to it
and hence good business potential is lost in this process.
To overcome this difficulty, document for creation of second charge without insistence
of physical delivery of title documents from 1st lender have been devised and copy of
the documents to be obtained in such cases is enclosed with this circular as Annexure
20 to 25.
However, this option shall be exercised only where it is not feasible to obtain delivery of
title document from the first lender.
HOUSING LOAN LINKED TO VARIOUS GOVERNMENT SPONSORED SCHEME/
CUSTOMIZED SCHEME OF LOCAL/STATE GOVERNMENT
The Branches shall continue to extend financial assistance under above said existing
specific scheme by complying the norms, terms & conditions defined in particular
scheme, within the broad parameters of Banks Home Loan Scheme.
In case of any new scheme, launched/formulated by any Government/ Development
Authorities or NHB, the same shall be referred to Head Office for approval and its
implementation.
SECOND HOME LOAN
Loan to existing home loan borrowers for purchase/construction/repair/renovation of a
second house can be considered provided net take home income/salary after
instalments of both the loans and other deductions is in accordance with minimum net
take home income stipulation. It shall, however, be ensured that existing account is
running regular and the facility is not misused for speculative purposes.
TAKE OVER OF HOME LOAN ACCOUNT
In view of our cost effective scheme topped with many other attractions, persons who
have already availed home loans from other FIs/Banks, may express willingness to
switch their home loan accounts to our bank.

The original repayment period shall not be extended.

v)

TIE-UP ARRANGEMENT WITH BUILDERS FOR FINANCING HOME LOANS
The Regional Heads are empowered to approve the projects of reputed builders for
extending Home Loans to the prospective buyers/borrowers. The need and importance
of having such tie-up arrangements for marketing of bulk housing loan proposals have
been emphasized from time to time. However, the progress in this regard has not been
encouraging and not many reputed builders/projects could be approved / marketed by
the Bank.
Home Loan Master Circular

Page | 39

In certain other instances, it has been found that no proper due diligence was made
before approving the Builders and their projects which exposed the bank to greater
financial risks.
In order to ward off such operational risks, it is decided to standardize the processing
system of approving the tie up arrangements with the Builders/Housing Projects at the
Regional Office level. We enclose a copy of the process note format (Annexure-26),
which may be amended according to requirement. The format shall be used while
considering a specific Housing Project/Builder for tie-up arrangement.
GUIDELINES ON TIE UP ARRANGEMENT
1. It is to be noted that tie-up arrangement with builder shall not be mandatory for
considering Home Loan. Wherever clear title deeds and favourable legal opinion is
available, the single loan proposal can be considered by the sanctioning authority
with or without builders tie-up. Regional Head shall explore all possibilities to tie-up
with all reputed builders in his Regions with following guidelines.
1.a Tie-up arrangement will be applicable for Bulk marketing of proposal only on
existing terms & guidelines. In case a tie-up with builder is approved then fresh
legal opinion & valuation certificate from each customer is need not to be obtained.
Consequently the prospective buyers save cost & time on extraction of legal
opinion and valuation certificate. The concerned branches relying upon such tie-up
may expeditiously dispose the loan proposals received under such project.
1.b. In case where the Builder has availed loan facility for their residential projects from
our bank, the sanctioning authority (of project financing) will stipulate a term that
our branches shall be authorized to automatic financing of housing loan without
any tie-up arrangement. Further, following clause shall be invariably incorporated
in the sanction letter to the builder / developer:
The Builder / Developer must refer their home buyers to our bank for availing
Housing Loan.
The bank will have the first right of refusal in all such referred cases.
The builders must incorporate our banks name & logo in their advertisement.
(Amended vide circular no. HO:Retail:06:2014-15:18 dated: 09.04.2014

Further, similar projects of the same Builder shall also qualify for financing Home
loan by the branches subject to favorable legal opinion & statutory compliance by
the builders. Wherever clear title deeds and favourable legal opinion is available,
the single loan proposal can be considered by the sanctioning authority with or
without builders tie-up.
1.c. In all cases, due diligence guidelines should be adhered to by the Sanctioning
Authority to avoid any chances of fraud, delinquencies or acquisition of disputed
property etc.
A list of tie-up arrangement with builders for residential housing loan projects is
regularly updated at Home page of OBCWEB. The Regional Heads are advised to
send the information for updation of list on regular basis.
Home Loan Master Circular

Page | 40

1.d. The respective sanctioning authority while considering such Home loan proposals
as per Scheme must ensure that the Builder is a reputed one, all statutory
clearances including possession are available to ward off any multiple sales of flats
and No Objection Certificate from financing bank (to builder), if any shall be
obtained. Further, the project approved for Home loan financing by other Banks
may be given preference.
1.e. Marketing Manager may be given specific target to market Home Loan borrowers.
1.f. As a Post approval formalities the approving Regional Office shall communicate the
details of approval to Head Office, Retail Credit Deptt. as well as to branches of
their Region for exploring the benefit of such tie-up. The adjacent Regional Offices
be also informed about such tie-up for their onward communication to the
branches situated in nearby vicinity of such project.
2. To speedup the process, all those projects, which have been approved by any two of
the Banks/ institutions namely HDFC Bank / HDFC Ltd., SBI, LICHF, ICICI, Punjab
National Bank / PNB Housing Finance Ltd. based on their stand alone sanction
letters, be approved.
The approval be accorded subject to compliance of following conditions that:
a) Above banks approval should not be older than six months from the date of
consideration of our approval;
b) The visit to the project site has been undertaken by the Bank officials and visit
report is held on record; It should be ensured that no adverse feature is
observed during the visit.
(Amended vide circular no. HO:Retail:39:2014-15:764 dated: 19.12.2014)

Title clearance & NEC Clause: In the above mentioned cases, title clearance report &
NEC of other banks (listed banks) to be obtained from builders and should be vetted by
the legal retainer of RO/ HO.
3. Tie-up arrangement with builder is not mandatory for considering individual Home
Loan except for Noida / Greater Noida locations wherein:
a) If the project in Noida / Greater Noida is already financed by the Bank, then the
housing loan may be considered for sanction for residential property in the
project by the delegated authority.
b) If the project in Noida / Greater Noida is not financed by the Bank, then the
project shall be first approved by the HLCC-ED at Head Office. Only thereafter
the housing loan may be considered for sanction for residential property in the
project by the delegated authority.
Note:
1. The NOC of Noida / Greater Noida authority for creation of mortgage in favour of
bank be accepted having clause that in the eventuality of default by the builders in
making their payment, the authority will have their first charge.
Home Loan Master Circular

Page | 41

2. Since the builder has a right to execute sub-lease deed after making full payment
to Govt. authorities, as such, during intervening period the existing system of
obtaining tripartite agreement may continue in all such cases of housing loans.
3. However, a proper record & follow-up shall be made by Regional Office / loan
disbursing branch to ensure immediate creation of mortgage, as and when full &
final payment is made by the builders to the Govt. or lease / sale deed is executed
in favour of the borrower.
4. Apart from Noida & Greater Noida locations, the pre-condition of having Tie-up
arrangement with Builders for Home loan sanction has been done away with.

proposals from a project with or without Tie-up with builder subject to exercise of
due diligence measures. The instructions were communicated vide circular no.

at such locations subject to compliance of above conditions & other instructions
issued by HRD / Vigilance Deptt.
6. All residential projects financed by our bank in subject location shall be eligible for
extending home loans to general public / staff.
7. All other guidelines for risk mitigation as are stipulated in the home loan scheme
shall be meticulously complied with. (Amended vide Circular No. HO:Retail:12:201314:196 dated: 26.06.2013)

CASH DOWN PAYMENT TO BUILDER/GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY


Many times customers request for cash-down payment/ upfront disbursal of housing
loan (under 80:20 or 75:25 scheme) to builder to take advantage of the huge cash
discount being offered by them on purchase of flat.
In view of the higher risks associated with lump sum disbursal of sanctioned housing
loans and customer suitability issues, the RBI has advised that in case vof housing
projects of private builders-disbursal of housing loan sanctioned to individuals should be
closely linked to the stages of construction of the housing project/houses and upfront
disbursal should not be made in cases of incomplete/under construction/green field
housing projects.
In cases of projects sponsored by Government / Statutory Authorities, loans may be
disbursed as per the payment stages prescribed by such authorities, even where
payments sought from house buyers are not linked to the stages of construction,
provided such authorities have no past history of non-completion of projects.
(Amended vide circular no. HO:Retail:19:2013-14:540 dated: 04.09.2013 & HO:Retail: 46:201415:952 dt: 07.03.15)
