An Introduction to Home loans

1. What is a Home loan?


Home loan is the sum of money a bank or financial institution lends you to help you buy your dream home. By taking a home loan from a bank or a housing finance company you pledge your home as the lenders security for repayment of your loan. The bank or financial institution will hold the title or deed to the property till the loan has been paid back with the interest due for it. Home loans are generally taken for long tenures as the loan amount is usually a huge sum. A home loan can be taken anywhere between 5 and 30 years. The amount of loan one is eligible for is dependent on the individuals credit profile.

2. What is a down payment? What are the ways in which one can source his / her down payment?

Generally as a thumb rule, banks or financial institutions lend 85% of the cost of the property. 15% of the money is expected to be paid as a down payment for the loan. Opting for a personal loan if you can afford that cost as well, pledging your investments, getting loan against your insurance policy etc. are some ways to liquidate your assets and pay your down payment.

3. Are there any specific loans available for NRIs?

Yes, there are specific loans that are tailored for the requirements of NRIs who wish to build or buy a home in India.

Loan Eligibility & Cost


1. Who is eligible for a home loan?

Indians with a regular source of income, which includes salaried individuals, self-employed professionals, self-employed business people, NRI individuals and existing property owners who can pledge it as security for the loan, are all eligible for a home loan. The individual applying for the loan should be above 21 years of age, when the loan period begins and should be less than 65 years when the loan period closes.

2. What are the other factors, which are relevant for home loan eligibility?

- Purpose of the loan - (purchase of property, improvement, purchase of land) - Age - Income (savings history) - Experience & Qualification (stability and continuity of occupation) - Employer - Existing loans

- Number of dependents - Credit History (Past repayment history) - Resident status (The maximum loan that can be sanctioned to a resident Indian is Rs.5, 000,000)

3. What are the factors included in the total loan cost?

Registration charges, transfer charges and stamp duty costs apart from the actual loan amount are included in the total cost calculation of the home loan.

4. How much loan can one avail?

The amount of loan you can avail depends on factors like salary details, qualifications, employer/business, years of experience, growth prospects, alternate employment prospects and sources of other income, if any. Generally, about 40% of your monthly gross income can be availed as your loan amount. For self-employed applicants, profit is the benchmark that determines loan value. The longer the time frame for repaying the loan the lower the EMI and this also means you can opt for a larger loan amount. The loan amount you are eligible for is also dependent on other factors like the company you are employed with, the location of your residence and your credit history.

5. What are the other costs that usually accompany a home loan?

Home loans are usually accompanied by the following extra costs: a) Processing Charge: It is a fee paid to the lender when you apply for a loan. It could either be a fixed amount not linked to the loan or could also be a percentage of the loan amount. b) Pre-payment Penalty: When a loan is paid back before the end of the agreed duration, a penalty is charged by some banks/financial institutions, which could be up to 5% of the amount pre-paid. c) Commitment Fees: Some institutions levy a commitment fee in case the loan is not availed within a stipulated period of time after it is processed and sanctioned. d) Miscellaneous Costs: Some lenders may levy a documentation or consultant charge. e) Registration charges of the mortgage deed.

6. What are the details of some of the incentives offered by housing finance institutions?

Some lending institutions sanction the loan without requiring you to identify a property as a prerequisite for eligibility a) Free accident insurance b) Discounts c) Waiving of pre-payment penalty d) Waiving of processing fee e) Free Property Insurance

7. When can one take a home loan?

You can take a home loan before or after identifying the property you want to purchase or when the property is under construction or for purchasing a plot of land for investment or to renovate an existing home.

8. Can one have a co-applicant for a home loan?

Yes, it is good to have a co-applicant. This can help you increase the loan amount you are eligible for as the income of the co-applicant is also taken into consideration. Providing additional security like bonds, fixed deposits and LIC policies will also help in enhancing eligibility.

RAVI MATARIA

9. Who is eligible to be a co-applicant?

The co-owner of the property you are going to purchase should also be a coborrower/co-applicant. The reverse however is not stressed by lending institutions. Financial institutions accept a parent or spouse as an ideal choice for a co-applicant. A fiance can also become a co-applicant but the loan disbursal will begin only after the submission of the marriage certificate.

10. What is EMI? How is it calculated?

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.

11. What is the difference between a fixed interest rate and floating interest rate?

A fixed interest rate remains constant throughout the loan tenure regardless of the market conditions whereas a floating interest rate can decrease or increase depending on market fluctuations. For instance, it increases when RBI hikes up short term interest rates. Banks usually quote the floating rate loans as their index rate (prime lending rate) plus or minus x%. Banks usually increase or decrease their prime lending rate when the RBI increases or decreases short term interest rates.

12. What are the different types of interest rates available?


Interest rates are quoted either as fixed flat rates or reducing balance rates. In the flat rate method of interest calculation, the outstanding loan amount is never reduced during the entire tenure of the loan even though you make payments monthly. In the case of reducing balance interest rates the EMI is calculated on the basis of daily, monthly, quarterly or annual rests. A rest indicates the time frame in which the bank will recalculate the EMI based on the amount of loan paid back and the frequency of any compounding interest rate. Suppose you have a loan with an annual rest then, though you pay a monthly installment, your benefit kicks in only at year end, here the bank gets to benefit. A monthly rest will recognize the reduction in the loan amount on a monthly basis, a quarterly rest Page 8 of 64

RAVI MATARIA

does it every quarter while a daily rest will do it each day. The more closely the rest matches the frequency of your payments, the lower the total interest paid as the total outstanding loan amount is reduced by your monthly payments more frequently.

13. What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule is a table giving the reduction of your loan amount by monthly installments. The amortization schedule gives the breakup of every EMI towards repayment interest and outstanding principal of your loan.

14. What are the factors one need to keep in mind while comparing loans from different financial institutions?

A loan applicant needs to keep a few things in mind when comparing loans. The applicant needs to determine the kind of loan and the amount he wants to apply for. He needs to keep in mind the total cost of the loan, which will be paid up by the end of his loan tenure. The second step is to understand the terms and conditions under which financial institutions are offering the loan. Finally he needs to evaluate, which loan offer is the best bet for him.

RAVI MATARIA

Other factors that you should look out for are customer service levels and the average time the bank takes to process a loan.

15. Can one avail a tax rebate on my home loan?


Section 80C and Section 24 grant income tax rebates to people who have taken home loans. These tax deductions are capped at 1 lakh for the principal repaid and 1.5 lakhs for the interest repaid.

16. What are the loan tenure options?

You have the option of selecting a loan tenure you are comfortable with, ranging up to 25 years, provided the term does not extend beyond your reaching 65 years of age or retirement age, whichever is earlier.

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.

RAVI MATARIA

3. If a loan application is rejected, does that reflect on my record?

Every time you apply for a loan to a financial institution, your credit report with CIBIL is checked and the inquiry appears on the record. Many such inquiries will adversely affect the interest rates you are charged and will make your borrowing options limited as it suggests you are likely to be facing a financial crunch.

5. Is it a must to apply for insurance cover for ones property?

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.

6. What is a No Objection Certificate?

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.

7. When does a property become `pre-approved?

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

Vital Tips for Home Loans


To increase your loan eligibility, combine your income with that of your spouse, children or parents Always negotiate - the first home loan interest rate quoted is never the final rate Before paying the loan processing fee request lender for preliminary check on the property Buy Loan Protector Life Insurance - ensure your family can use the house if you are not alive Immediate disbursement get best rates talk to home loan providers when you are close to finalizing your property

How much loan to take?


Please consider the following factors before deciding upon the size of your loan: A. Income You need to consider the amount of money that you earn as well as the stability of your income. Many people choose to take a more expensive home upfront as they think that their income will increase as a result of their income growth and career progress. This will make even large EMI payments an ever decreasing percentage of their monthly expenses. Page 61 of 64

ANALYZING THE HOME LOAN MARKET AND DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN THE MARKET VIS-A-VIS THEIR MARKET SHARE.

RAVI MATARIA

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?

Page 62 of 64

ANALYZING THE HOME LOAN MARKET AND DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN THE MARKET VIS-A-VIS THEIR MARKET SHARE.

RAVI MATARIA

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

Fewer vacations, or take a domestic vacation instead of going abroad

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
