INTRODUCTION
The growth rate of the economy might go up to levels up to 6%, if the revival is kept up.
Share markets are not entirely looking up, though they are stabilizing at levels, which can be
termed as reasonable. Industrial growth rate, which was wallowing at a low of 1.5%, is
now at around 5%. In fact, industrial credit given out by banks which in normal times would
be about 4-5 times of bank credit given to housing, had in the last few years reduced to levels
below advances to housing loans. But the happy feature is that industrial growth is picking
up. Even, the steel sector, which was hopelessly down, is now having hopes of revival.
It is only housing, amidst all these that seems to have kept up fairly stable front. Yes, the late
90s saw even housing go through a bad phase. But, then with that phase crossed, there has
been a steady revival and stabilization of the market at levels, which can be termed as
reasonable from the point of view of both the customers and those on the supply side.
Housing is a basic need and like any basic human need will be constantly in demand. The
potential for housing in this country is huge by NHB estimates. And the requirements by NI
IB estimates are around 20 million houses. There are other estimates, which suggest that it is
at a much higher level. Even going by the conservative estimate taken by the NHB, the
requirements in the area of housing are massive. This really means that a lot of investments
cab is there in the coming years and there is room for multiple players.
The customer who is purchasing a house today has not only the options of competitively
lowest rates of interest, but also choice of different types of loans starting from the house-
mortgage of property], home extension loans, NRI loans etc. It has never been better than this
ever before.
As far as availability of finance to the retail customers is concerned, there has been a
tremendous improvement in the possibility over the last few years. There are over 32 NHB
recognized Housing Finance Companies which dot the map of this country with their
presence all-over. The nationalized banks have in addition made housing a thrust area and
added to the reach for advancing loans to individuals. The LICHFL, which organization I
happen to represent, itself has over 200 centers in this country, which are covered by their
physical presence. Leading Housing Finance organizations like the HDFC, ICIC also have a
widespread network all over the Country giving out loans to customers for housing. The
banking major, SB J covers over 500 centers through their branches where personal banking
division functions. The other banks too are not far behind in their reach out to the house
purchasing public.

adjustable rate loans due to the decreasing interest rate scenario. In presenting the Union

The creation of the National Housing Bank (NHB) is a true milestone in the industry's
growth-path. NHB initiated operations in 1990s as an apex financing institution for granting
interest rates and created a favorable climate for other home-finance companies to take a
serious look at this business. It is now mandatory for all home finance companies to follow
the prudential norms laid down by NHB. This has brought discipline into the market and
helped even the small players to access concessional finance from NHB to remain
competitive.

Types of home loans
• Rent or Buy? -
The spectrum of loans for home-related needs is broadening with new varieties being
launched frequently. Apart from taking a plain vanilla loan for buying a home you can take
loan for purchase of land, construction of home, making improvements in your present
home, refinancing your existing home loan and so on. Recently HDFC has launched home
equity loan for taking loan for your other needs, against home as collateral.
You can take a loan for purchase of land. Though most of the lenders require you to
build your own home on the land (that too within a stipulated period), a few give it even if
you purchase land as an investment. You can apply separately for a construction loan to
home. Stamp duty range between 10-12% of the purchase cost of the home. It can be very
substantial in cities like Mumbai and Delhi where the price of real estate is high.
If you want to add a floor to your present home or expand it, you can take a Home
extension loan.
If you want to repair your present home, you can take a home repair or Improvement

without prepaying the loan on the existing home. Your existing loan is transferred to your

a buyer for your home, you can get a bridge loan. It is a short-term loan that covers the

lumpsum or in installments.

you're planning to stay in it. It generally doesn't make economic sense to buy a home if
you are not planning to retain it for some time. Why? Because it costs money to buy a
house and sell it and to take a loan and then prepay it. It would have to appreciate in value
very quickly between the buying and the selling to make it financially worthwhile.
Then there is rate of return you can earn by investing the cash you would save by
not buying (this is called opportunity cost). Though the lax laws are hell bent on making
home buying very attractive, renting it might be a better idea, financially as planning to
The various costs associated with buying a home with loan are:
Along with the above there is lots of labour involved in terms of choosing a flat,
arranging for down payment, etc. If you sell a home, it again involves search costs of

If you are planning to buy a home as an investment, you should understand the

wait for a really long term it will test your patience to the hilt. People who bought property

Then the locality in which you are buying a flat may go out of fashion and lose its
premium value. South Bombay may not remain such a hep place in coming times, with
suburbs getting livelier by the year. The flat is somewhat a perishable item, meaning that it
will lose its charm and newness with time, which will affect its valuation. If you bought a
flat in Kalbadevi or Chandni Chowk you may not get a very high price as the flat wears
down with time. N4any lenders don't lend for flats older than 25 years (a few don't lend for

variable costs, you might think of renting it out. In case you didn't notice, Indian laws are
known to support tenant all the way! So if you are stuck with a not so decent tenant you
By drawing such a pessimistic picture, I don't want to bias you against buying flat as
an investment avenue, but if you do get biased I don't mind! Because I really believe that
you should understand the pros and cons of any investment before putting even a rupee
there. In any case buying a plot may be a more sound investment decision than buying a
flat. Apart' from a very few cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, flats are not known to appreciate
very fast.
Ideally, you should find a home loan even before you start looking for a home. Not

determinable, for eg. when the loan is taken for repairs and maintenance.

There is a commitment charge involved, and if the loan facility is not availed a
plan. Keep these points in mind while shopping around for the loan 1) Calculate EMI
EMI is the first scale on which you should measure different loans. Don't get swayed
by the interest rate quoted by the lender, instead look at the EMI for the same repayment
tenure.
Along with the quoted interest rate, the effective interest rate depends on the reducing
balance method used by the lender. Reducing balance is the method of reducing the
principal amount repaid, from the outstanding ioan amount. Every time you make a
. To take an example, assume you borrow Rs. 1 lac for 15-years. If the reducing balance
method is monthly, then in the first month you would pay interest on Rs. 1 lac plus a small
amount towards principal, say x. In second month, the interest would be calculated on a
principal of Rs. 1 lac minus x. In case the reducing balance method is yearly, even in second
month the interest would be calculated on entire Rs. 1 lac. The principal is reduced for the
The reducing balance can be of 4 types: daily, monthly, quarterly and yearly. In the
first method, the principal is reduced ever}' day as if you were making repayment of the

effective interest rate, as the new repayment requirements are calculated after reducing your
The effective rate of interest increases with the increase in the period of reducing
balance. Hence the EMI in the monthly reducing balance method will be lower than in the
quarterly reducing balance which in turn will be less than the annual reducing balance

While applying for a loan, you have to pay a certain charge on the amount applied
for. The charge is calculated on the amount of loan applied for and not on the amount
actually sanctioned. This charge varies with the lender and may be a fixed amount
irrespective of the amount applied for or may be a percentage of the loan applied for. This
If the processing charge is 2% of loan applied for, and you apply for Rs. 10 lacs, you
will have to pay Rs. 20,000 as processing fee upfront. And if the loan sanctioned is Rs. 8
lacs, the money you actually receive is 7.80 lacs (8 lacs minus 20,000 processing fee you
This can make big difference in the real cost of the loan. Look for the lowest fees
lenders.
2) Commitment fee
In case you've got your loan sanctioned, before buying a flat or your builder is not
delivering the property on schedule, some lenders may lev}' a commitment fee on the loan
amount sanctioned.
3) Prepayment penalty
Generally if every thing else is same, try to get a lender who doesn't charge a
prepayment penally. This is a great way of getting rid of your debt in case your fiscal fitness
improves. Also if the interest rates fall, you can go for replacing the higher cost loan with a

Refinancing
There are various kinds of insurance covers available for a home owner. The various
options may be insurance against fire, against other disasters, burglary, etc. many lenders
may insist on getting your home insured to safeguard their interest. In case the house is
destroyed in a fire and you decide lo leave that behind along with your loan, the lender will

My kind of home
You've filled out your wish list and figured out how much you can afford. Now comes
the trickier question, what kind of home to buy? A not so good house in a very good locality,
a great house in a not so good locality, a new house, an old house, a flat in the downtown
One of the main advantages of a new home is... it's new! Another advantage is the
design process. If you sign a new home contract early enough in the building process, you
can make some, if not all, of the decisions about the design.
In case of new but unsold home, your bargaining position is quite strong, as the
The first step in finding a home is figuring out how much you can afford. It probably
means you're going to take a home loan. As it happens there is wide gap in what you need
and what the bank is willing to lend you. The amount of loan the bank gives you depends on
three things: income, credit worthiness, and collateral. The bank would like to know:
3. If you have a co-guarantor or something of value should you be unable to pay back.
In general, the lender will want you to come up with at least 15% of the value of your new
home for a down payment before he will give you a home loan. The lender will plug your
income numbers into a couple of formulas to determine your repaying capacity. He will have
some norms for deciding your upper limit of loan, like your take home salary after loan
like to make guesses about your future repayment capacity also. It may depend on various
factors, subjective as well objective, such as the kind of job you have, whether you are
The bank may also ask for a co-guarantor or some other security to increase the
amount of loan.
This is what a lender might look for, but your affordability of course depends more on
you. You may like to think about questions like should you rent instead of buying, what is
Before you borrow, figure out whether you can really afford it. Just because the bank
will lend, doesn't mean that you should take it. Your house payment is just one piece of your
financial puzzle. Are you planning on having a bigger family? What other sacrifices you
One important aspect to understand before taking affordability decision is that your
home is the collateral for your home loan, meaning if you are unable to make the repayments
the lender can take possession of your home. Use our tools to get an accurate snapshot of
your financial picture and find out what you can afford.
What lenders look for? Lenders look at many different aspects of your financial life, some of
you to contribute some of your own money upfront, this may be in the range of 15-20% of
the home price. You also have to pay 2-3% of loan amount in processing and other fee.
• Your income
Lenders want to make sure that you earn enough to pay the costs of owning a home.
For this they may compare your monthly loan repayments with your gross salary. Generally
your take home salary should not be less than 40% of your gross salary after making all loan
payments.
• Your debt
The lenders also want to see that you are not burdened with lots of debt. That's why
they look at your monthly debt commitments, such as auto loan payments, personal loan
payments, etc.
Lenders like people with steady career path. If you hop jobs too fast you may miss a
The various parameters of a housing loan are tenure, amount and interest rate.
The tenure of a loan tells you that how long will it take to pay off the loan. In India
generally the maximum tenure of the home loans is 15 years, with a few lenders offering
tenure of 20 years, 1CICI has recently launched a 30 year loan. The longer the tenure, more
lenders require you to pay the entire loan before you retire.
Amount of loan is how many rupees you borrow, it depends on number of factors
like your age, your salary, your profession, your city. Lenders ask you to put 15% to 20% of
the home cost upfront before they disburse the loan. The loan amount varies between Rs.
25,000 to Rs. 1 crs. depending on the lender. Interest rate is the cost of borrowing the
money. It depends on the amount of loan you take and the time period of the loan. While
most of the lenders charge higher rate for more loan, some lenders are doing away with this
practice.
There are two kinds of loan possible: fixed rate loan and adjustable rate loan.
In fixed rate loan, the interest you pay on the loan remains constant through out the
tenure of the loan. In adjustable rate loan, the interest rate may vary depending on the
underlying benchmark. A benchmark is an interest rate that is used for calculating the
interest rate. The lender while giving out the loan decides the time period after which the
Choosing between a fixed rate and an adjustable rate loan depends on your future
views of the interest rate. If you think that interest rate in future will fall from the present
levels, adjustable rate loan will make sense. Otherwise in lower interest rate period locking
your loan at a fixed interest rate is a good idea. Any way as adjustable loan rates are not
available widely in India, it's a non-issue. I have written about it, just to make you future-
proof. The monthly payment you make on your loan is known as EMI, Equated Monthly
Installment. It is constant over a period of time. EMI increases with increasing rate
An important part of the lending process is the upfront fees charged by the lender. It
may be documentation fee, processing fee, etc. The same varies from lender to lender and
makes a significant impact on your total borrowing cost. The same may depend on the
amount of loan requested by you or the amount actually disbursed by the bank.
The option of prepaying the loan is always there, it means repaying the entire loan
amount before its due. Some lenders charge prepayment penalty and others do not. It is
generally better to take a loan without prepayment penalty, as in case the interest rates fall
you have the option of refinancing the loan. More about it later.
The loan is disbursed, i.e. is the money is given to you, after you have selected the
home, completed all the legal documentation and have brought in your own contribution in
full towards the purchase. In case your property is under-construction, the disbursement is
Before the disbursement you will have to submit to the lender all legal papers of the
property along with the agreement with the seller of the property. If you are buying a flat you
may be asked to provide a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the housing society.
