Home Loan Options

Your Home Loan Journey Starts With Better Information

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you may make. A home loan can help spread the cost of purchasing or constructing a property over a longer repayment period. However, choosing a suitable loan requires more than simply looking at the advertised interest rate.

You should understand:

• How much you may be eligible to borrow
• The interest rate applicable to your profile
• Your expected monthly EMI
• Loan tenure
• Processing fees and other charges
• Required documents
• Prepayment conditions
• Total repayment cost
• Lender eligibility criteria

LoanTigers brings this information together to help you understand your home loan options before taking the next step.

What Is a Home Loan?

A home loan is a type of financing provided by a bank, NBFC or other authorised lending institution to help eligible borrowers purchase, construct, renovate or improve a residential property.

Depending on the lender and product, home financing may be available for different requirements.

Home Purchase Loan

For eligible customers purchasing a new or resale residential property.

Home Construction Loan

For eligible customers constructing a house on an approved plot.

Home Renovation Loan

For eligible home improvement, repair or renovation requirements.

Home Extension Loan

For eligible construction or expansion of an existing residential property.

Home Loan Balance Transfer

For eligible borrowers considering transferring an existing home loan to another lender.

Home Loan Top-Up

Additional financing may be available to eligible existing home loan customers, subject to lender policies.

Borrowers generally repay through Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) over an agreed tenure. Property and loan terms remain subject to the respective lender’s policies and applicable regulations.

Understanding Home Loan Interest Rates

The interest rate is one of the most important factors affecting your home loan EMI and overall repayment.

Home loan interest rates can vary depending on:

• Lender
• Loan amount
• Loan tenure
• Borrower’s income
• Credit profile
• Employment or business profile
• Property details
• Loan-to-value ratio
• Existing financial obligations
• Applicable lender policies

Fixed vs Floating Interest Rates

Fixed Rate

The applicable interest rate may remain fixed for a specified period or under the terms agreed with the lender.

Floating Rate

The applicable rate may change based on the lender’s benchmark or applicable external reference mechanism and prevailing conditions.

Important: The interest rate advertised by a lender may not be the rate offered to every applicant. Your actual rate is determined by the respective lender after evaluating your application and profile.

How Much Could Your Home Loan EMI Be?

Your EMI is influenced mainly by Loan Amount + Interest Rate + Loan Tenure.

A higher loan amount generally results in a higher EMI, while a longer tenure can reduce the monthly EMI but may increase the total interest paid over the loan period.

Illustrative Example

Loan Amount: ₹50,00,000
Interest Rate: 8.50% p.a.
Tenure: 20 years
