ICICI property loans can be adjusted according to the financial capacity of the borrower or in the event of a floating interest rate provided by the lender.
Remember that the loan against property EMI remains typically unchanged unless the customer demands a modification and, according to its eligibility conditions, the same is approved by ICICI Bank.
Usually, if the floating interest rate on your loan rises, ICICI Bank will retain the EMI constant but extend the tenure of the loan. So, you will pay the same EMI for an extended period.
However, if interest rates increase such that the revised tenure of the loan is greater than the maximum allowable by ICICI Bank, your EMI amount may be increased by the bank.
The loan against property also provides a prepayment facility, equivalent to other loans. So, the unpaid principal balance on your real estate loan decreases when you make a prepayment.
You may opt to either retain the EMI the same and reduce the tenure of the loan or decrease the EMI and keep the tenure of the loan unchanged. As you pay less interest to the bank in this alternative, retaining the EMI constant and reducing the loan tenure is advantageous.
Remember that, except for floating-rate property loans approved by individuals, ICICI Bank can levy prepayment fees.
Your EMI is calculated using three factors: your loan amount, the tenure of the loan and the interest rate.
ICICI Bank provides a loan against property at interest rates starting from 10.85% to salaried and self-employed applicants. If you already pay a higher interest rate than the ICICI Bank rate, you can opt for an ICICI Bank loan balance transfer.
You can make your spouse or family member the co-applicant for your loan. Combining both your earnings would allow you to increase your credit eligibility.
Yes, you can claim tax benefits on your loan balance transfer loan, if you avail a top-up loan. Here, you need to use the funds for expenses that qualify for tax benefits.
