Frequently Asked Questions

What is home loan EMI?

Home loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed amount you pay to the bank every month to repay your home loan. It consists of both principal repayment and interest payment. In the initial years, the interest component is higher, and as the loan progresses, the principal component increases.

How much home loan can I get?

Banks typically offer home loans up to 60 times your monthly net income, subject to a maximum of 80-90% of the property value (LTV ratio). For example, with a monthly salary of ₹50,000, you may get a home loan of approximately ₹30 lakh. Your existing EMIs, credit score, and age also affect eligibility.

What is the minimum down payment for home loan?

The minimum down payment for a home loan is typically 10-20% of the property value. RBI guidelines allow maximum LTV of 90% for loans up to ₹30 lakh, 80% for loans between ₹30-75 lakh, and 75% for loans above ₹75 lakh. A higher down payment reduces your EMI burden and total interest cost.

Can I get 100% home loan?

No, RBI regulations do not allow 100% home loans. Banks can finance only up to 75-90% of the property value depending on the loan amount. You must arrange the remaining 10-25% as down payment from your own funds. Some lenders may offer additional personal loans for furnishing, but the property loan itself cannot be 100%.

Is home loan interest tax deductible?

Yes, home loan offers significant tax benefits. Under Section 80C, principal repayment up to ₹1.5 lakh per year is deductible. Under Section 24, interest payment up to ₹2 lakh per year is deductible for self-occupied property. First-time homebuyers can claim additional ₹50,000 under Section 80EEA subject to conditions.

What is the ideal home loan tenure?

The ideal home loan tenure depends on your age and repayment capacity. Younger borrowers (25-35 years) can opt for 20-30 years for lower EMIs. Older borrowers should choose shorter tenures (10-15 years) to ensure loan is repaid before retirement. Maximum tenure offered is 30 years or until age 60-65, whichever is earlier.

Can I prepay my home loan?

Yes, you can prepay or foreclose your home loan. For floating rate home loans, RBI has mandated that banks cannot charge prepayment penalties for individual borrowers. You can make partial prepayments or fully foreclose the loan. Prepayment reduces either your tenure (keeping EMI same) or EMI (keeping tenure same).

What credit score is needed for home loan?

A credit score (CIBIL) of 750 or above is generally considered good for home loan approval and can get you better interest rates. Scores between 650-750 may get approval but at slightly higher rates. Below 650, approval becomes difficult. Some lenders may accept scores as low as 600 with additional conditions or higher rates.

Should I transfer my home loan?

Home loan balance transfer makes sense if another bank offers interest rate at least 0.5-1% lower than your current rate. Consider transfer costs (processing fees, legal charges, valuation fees) and calculate the break-even period. If you have many years remaining on the loan, even a small rate reduction can lead to significant savings.

What is LTV ratio in home loan?

LTV (Loan-to-Value) ratio is the percentage of property value that the bank will finance. For loans up to ₹30 lakh, maximum LTV is 90%. For loans between ₹30-75 lakh, LTV is up to 80%. For loans above ₹75 lakh, LTV is up to 75%. Lower LTV means higher down payment but better loan terms and no mortgage insurance requirement.
