Frequently Asked Questions on Home Loans
-
✔️Is it mandatory to have a co-applicant when applying for a Home Loan? If yes, who can be a co-applicant for my Home Loan?
It is not mandatory to have a co-applicant. If someone is the co-owner of the property in question, it is necessary that he/she also be the co-applicant for the Home Loan. If you are the sole owner of the property, any member of your immediate family can be your co-applicant. -
✔️How do I update my new postal mailing address?
If your new mailing address is the same for which the Home Loan has been taken, you may change the address by logging in to our Customer Portal. If your new mailing address is not the one for which the loan has been taken, you will need to visit us in person at your nearest branch along with an original and self-attested copy of your new address proof and photo identity. For the list of documents, we can accept for verification Proof of new residence to be provided. -
✔️How do I update my mobile number and the email address registered under my Home Loan account?
You may update your mobile number and email address by logging in to our Customer Portal. -
✔️Is Provisional Interest Certificate provided to the customer?
Provisional Interest Certificate gives the Principal and Interest breakup for the scheduled EMI for a complete Financial Year i.e. from April to March. This calculation can be used for claiming the Income Tax rebates in appropriate cases under Section 80C as well as Section 24 of the Income Tax Act. The calculations are based upon Current Principal Balances, Current ROI and Current EMI along with any changes recorded in the Current Financial Year. Any change that may happen before the end of the Financial Year will alter the calculation and the figures. You can get this by logging in to our Customer Portal. -
✔️Does the Income Tax certificate change when rates change?
The Provisional Income Tax Certificate can change under certain circumstances like change in Interest Rate. The projection is calculated on “as is” basis and does not consider any future change that may happen either on the Interest, EMI or the Principal. -
✔️How will my Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) be calculated on my loan?
Your EMI consists of two parts—paying back the principal amount you borrowed, plus the interest rates charged ‘on’ it. Three factors come into the equation—how much you borrowed, the rate of interest, and the loan tenure. There are ways to bring your EMI down: for one, it drops automatically if there is a drop in the interest rates, or if you pay back more than you need to (called a ‘partial prepayment’). -
✔️What are my different options for making my EMI payments on my home loan?
There are two ways of going about this: 1. An Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) is an easy and convenient option, available exclusively to those that have a bank account. Your EMIs get paid out automatically from your account every month, at a specified date. 2. With us, you may also choose to hand in a fresh set of Post-Dated Cheques (PDCs) ahead of time, from any bank account. Note that this is only for those customers in non-ECS locations. ECS is the preferred mode, as it’s faster and there are no chances of errors. Plus, there’s no hassle of replacing PDCs when the EMI changes, or when they run out. -
✔️I have availed of a Home Loan from you on a floating rate of interest. How will an increase in this rate of interest impact me?
When there’s an unexpected increase in interest rates, we first attempt to make things easier on you by increasing the loan tenure—within permissible limits. If this doesn’t resolve the issue—covering interests under current EMI—we’ll need to increase the EMI. Another solution—you can choose to part-prepay online via the Customer portal. Alternatively, you can make a partial prepayment at our nearest branch to reduce the interest amount. -
✔️How can I change the EMI payment amount during the life of a loan?
You can choose to pay your EMIs by electronic methods (ECS), by handing in post-dated cheques, or through direct payments. Going in for the ECS option, you’ll need to pay the revised amount from the subsequent month; you’ll be paying the differential amount separately, during the current month. If you’re going with the PDCs, you’ll need to completely replace your old cheques. You can also choose to increase the EMI amount whenever you choose to during the loan tenure, which will result in reducing the loan tenure. To avail this option just logon to our Customer Portal. -
✔️What is negative amortization?
When interest rates go up, the interest component of an EMI also goes up. The EMI is kept constant as explained in the previous section, which results in a lower principal component. If the rates move up continuously, then there might be a situation where the interest Component becomes more than the EMI. In such a situation, principal component (EMI minus interest component) gives a negative figure. Consequently, the outstanding balance, instead of being reduced from the opening principal with the principal component, gets increased with the negative principal component. This is commonly referred to as negative amortization. A loan where the amortization is negative does not get repaid, ever since the regular payments are insufficient to cover the interest component. The unpaid interest gets added to the principal and makes it grow. The situation gets reversed only when interest rates start falling. The customer does part-prepayment or increases the EMI. -
✔️How does any rate change impact the home loan amortization schedule?
In case of a home loan with variable rate, the interest rate used to calculate the interest component is subject to variation. When rates change, one of the following changes can be done to a loan: 1. The term of the Loan is extended (when rates go up) or contracted (when rates go down). 2. The Instalment (EMI) amount is reset (increased in case rates go up & reduced in case rates come down). 3.As a practice, the term of the home loan is extended since the self-employed customer, might have given PDC’s and it would be difficult to replace them on every rate change. However, in case of under construction properties, the Pre-EMI amount is increased by default. -
✔️Is there any early warning mechanism before negative amortization?
In case the interest component exceeds 85% of the EMI amount at any time, it should be a warning to the customer. This will ensure that variation in interest rates does not cause any inconvenience. -
✔️On what basis does the internal FRR change?
Internal FRR is the benchmark reference rate. This is determined on the basis of market conditions and the cost of funds for the company. These changes depend on various external factors and economic conditions. -
✔️How often do Interest rates change?
As per our re-pricing policy, home loan interest rates are reviewed every 2 months and a decision is taken whether to change the interest rates or keep that unchanged. -
✔️Do you pro-actively do downward Re-pricing?
This is a bi-annual exercise that is yet another an industry first for any NBFC in the country. As a goodwill gesture and to maintain transparency with our valued, existing self-employed customers, we ensure through our pro-active downward re-pricing strategy, that none of our existing customers are more than 100 basic points over and above the last 3 months average sourcing rate. If customers are higher than 100 bps from our last 3 months average sourcing rate, we carry out downward re-pricing of the rate of interest for them. This brings them to maximum 100 bps above the last 3 months average sourcing rate. -
✔️What is part disbursement of home loan?
Home Loan sanctioned for under construction property is disbursed in installments by us. These disbursements in installments are called part / subsequent disbursement.
-
✔️How do I take my next part disbursement?
