What is a home loan?

A home loan is a credit borrowed from a financial institution to buy a home. The home loan is given at an interest rate depending on your profile. While taking the loan, you choose a repayment period to pay back the amount (principal) and interest in equated monthly instalments (EMIs). You can either choose a fixed interest rate or a floating interest rate.

What is the home loan processing fee?

The processing fee is among the fees that you'll have to pay on a home loan. A home loan processing fee is a one-time fee charged by the lender once your housing loan application has been accepted. While some lenders charge a processing fee for home loans, others do not.

How does a home loan work?

A home loan is secured in nature, i.e., the loan amount is sanctioned against a collateral, which is the property in question.

The loan amount is sanctioned at a predetermined interest for an agreed-to period, also known as the ‘tenure.’ The borrower repays the loan with interest through a home loan EMI, payable every month. The property ownership remains with the lender till the home loan repayment is complete, including interest.

What are the different types of home loans available in India?

Basis the different requirements for home finance and varied customer profiles, the types of home loans available in India are:

Home loan for:

  • Women
  • Government Employees
  • Advocates

Which home finance is the best: Fixed or floating interest rate?

Both types of home loans have their pros and cons. With a fixed-rate home loan, the interest rate remains constant through the tenor, which allows you to forecast EMIs. Pick it when home loan interest rates are low and when you want fixed EMIs.

With floating-rate home loans, the interest rate alters basis economic changes and RBI policy decisions. Choose this variant when you expect rates to reduce in the time to come. Additionally, the RBI mandates that you do not need to pay any prepayment or foreclosure charges if you’re an individual borrowing a floating rate home loan.

Is home loan insurance mandatory?

No, it is not mandatory that you take home loan insurance along with your loan. However, you may consider getting insurance to take care of any liability at a marginal increase in your EMIs.

What are the tax benefits on home loan?

You can get tax benefits on home loan. Home loan tax benefits include deduction of Rs. 1.5 lakh on the principal amount under Section 80C. Additionally, Section 24B allows tax deduction of Rs. 2 lakh on the interest repayment. You can also claim tax deductions for registration fees and stamp duty charges under Section 80C.

Can I get 100% home finance?

No. As per RBI guidelines, no lender is permitted to offer 100% home financing. You need to make a down payment amounting to 10-20% of the property’s purchase price. Typically, you can obtain up to 80% housing loan financing for your property.

Is opting for housing finance worth it?

Can a home loan be taken jointly in India?
