An equated monthly Installment (EMI) is the amount of money that is paid back to the lender on a monthly basis. It is essentially made up of two parts, the principal amount and the interest on the principal amount equally divided across each month in the loan tenure. The EMI is always paid up to the bank or lender on a fixed date each month until the total amount due is paid up during the tenure. The EMI facility helps the borrower plan his budget. The EMI is calculated taking into account the loan amount, the time frame for repaying the loan and the interest rate on the borrowed sum.

Credit History
1. What is credit history? How does a financial institution check on my credit history?
A credit history is basically a record of your past repayments of loans and credit card bills. Also, there is a central bank of data available with the Credit Bureau of India Limited (CIBIL), where data from all the banks on existing loans and their repayment patterns of their customers are accumulated. Before approving your loan a financial institution always checks with CIBIL on your loan repayment track record.
2. Is the repayment track record of my previous loans considered in calculating my eligibility for a new loan?
It definitely has its benefits! A good repayment track record could fetch you a higher loan amount at a lower interest rate as it is standing proof for your money management capabilities. In case of a bad repayment record you will be charged high interest rates and you will find it difficult to obtain a loan.

Though it is not a must, considering the huge sum of money spent on purchasing the property it is a sound practice to have it insured to protect yourself against any danger that might befall on the property. Usually property insurance comes as an incentive with your home loans after a certain period. Insurance rates are usually very affordable.
This certificate states that it allows the property to be mortgaged by the bank. This comes into effect in instances like a co-operative society that owns the property but whose members have a right to reside in the premises and also transfer the rights to someone else. This is also true in the case of leased land on which property is built. In this instance, the property is owned by the borrower but the land on which the property is built legally belongs to a development authority. This certificate safeguards the interests of the Bank.
When a bank has already verified the title documents of the property of a particular builder, it files them in the bank records and labels them preapproved. This means that when a buyer approaches the bank for purchasing a

Some of the questions that you need to answer before making this decision are:
How much increase do you expect on a yearly basis? How confident are you in getting this raise?
Is there any risk of you losing your job such that you might not be able to afford to pay the EMI?
What are your chances of getting a new job in case you lose your present one?
Will large EMI payments interfere with your goals of retiring early, taking a mid career break, or even paying for your children's education and marriage?
Will your spouse continue to work and financially contribute to the household during the tenure of the home loan?
Do you expect to get a lump sum bonus or variable pay at the end of the year that can be used to fund your home purchase
Have a realistic view of what your income and career prospects can support don't be over optimistic about your future income. B. Personality No two people have the same personality or attitude towards debt. Some people can sleep soundly at night knowing that they owe Rs.30,000 per month for the next 25 years. Other people worry about taking a loan for such a long tenure.
Know your personality type can you live with a big loan or would you feel safer with a small loan?

C. Expenses The home loan lender calculates your loan eligibility based on your current debt and monthly expenses. You must identify whether you might have other expenses that you currently do not have, but expect to incur in the near future.
Do you have plans to buy a new car? Where will you fund the EMI for the car from?
Have you planned for your children's college education and marriage? Will you need money for these activities, and will you still have enough to pay fund these after your home loan EMI?
D. Lifestyle In life one has to prioritize one's goals and activities to achieve what is important to us. Are you willing to change your lifestyle to get the house you want? Maybe if you cut your spending a little, the bigger loan just might be within your reach. Ask yourself whether you and your family can handle:
Fewer shopping trips to the mall Less frequent expenditure on entertainment movies, eating out, latest cell phones
Sometimes you do not realize how much of your money is going towards useless expenditure. If you can cut down on this, then maybe you can afford a bigger home loan. Discuss with your family the pros and cons of taking a bigger loan and cutting down your family's lifestyle related spending. And do remember that it always pays to compare home loans before taking any decision. Page 63 of 64
