15. The interest rate is almost uniform across Banks and Housing Finance Companies
16. It depends on rate of interest offered by Reserve Bank of India.
17. However, the interest rate that the bank or housing finance company charges depends
on the customer profile and his past credit profile.
18. Also, there are 2 types on interest rates – Fixed and Floating interest rates. The fixed
rate of interest is fixed throughout the tenure.
19. The floating rate may go up or down depending on changes in the money market
conditions and internal policies. The fixed rate is generally bit higher than the floating
rate when you first take the loan.
20. I will have to think on that. So will they give me the full amount that I need to purchase
the house?
21. No! But, you can get up to 85% of the amount. Remaining 15% you can manage with
your savings. I think that’s quite possible, right?
22. Yes. That can be worked out. But, I hope Home Loan will not be a burden for me.
23. I do not think so! Right now you are paying your house rent
25. Home Loan will not only help you own a home but will also get you a lot of tax benefits.
Also, in time the value of your property will appreciate. You can choose to pay lesser
EMI by opting for a longer home loan tenure.
27. Not anybody! They check the person’s age, occupation, income, repayment capability,
credit score and property details before sanctioning the loan and its amount. The rate of
interest that they charge is also dependant on these factors
28. This is very simple! I think I should consider one right away. But I don't know how to go
about it.
