What is a term loan?
 

A term loan is a basic form of loan against property in which you pay fixed equated monthly instalments (EMIs) over a chosen repayment tenure. The mortgage loan interest is charged on the total outstanding amount.

What is a dropline overdraft?
 

A dropline overdraft offers you a pre-approved line of credit. You can make multiple withdrawals up to the sanctioned credit limit. The limit is reduced every month till the end of the loan tenure. Interest is charged only on the amount you borrow, not on the sanctioned credit limit. You can make flexible repayments towards the outstanding debt and reduce your liability. 

Which is better?
 

To determine which option suits you better, let's explore the pros and cons of each.

Pros and cons of term loans -

 

Pros

Cons

  1. Fixed EMIs give better clarity on repayments
  2. Higher loan amounts may be available
  3. Helps build your credit score
  1. Interest costs tend to be higher
  2. Fixed repayments can prove rigid

 

Pros and cons of dropline overdraft -

Pros

Cons
  1. Flexible repayments
  2. Ability to make multiple withdrawals up to the credit limit
  3. Interest is charged only on the borrowed amount
  4. Instant access to funds
  1. Repayment flexibility can cause higher interest accumulation if you delay repayments
  2. The interest rate can be higher compared to term loans

 

Which one to choose?
 

The choice depends on your financial needs and preferences. If the interest factor is your primary consideration, the overdraft facility typically offers the lowest interest rates for a loan against property. However, if you need a higher loan amount and don’t mind fixed EMIs, term loans can also be a good choice.

Assess your needs to make an informed choice. IDFC FIRST Bank Loan Against Property offers both borrowing options, making it a versatile financing solution. You can secure a loan against property of up to ₹15 crores for up to 25 years, all at competitive property loan interest rates.

Term loan or overdraft, make your choice, and apply now to easily fulfil your financial needs.
