If you are an Indian, it is quite a normal aspiration to own a home during your lifetime. It is one thing to aspire for something and another thing to actually go out and achieve it.

Liberal Loan Amount and Tenure

The bank seeks full disclosure from you in the form of KYC documents and income proof to satisfy itself that you can repay the loan. Further, the bank offers home loans based on certain criteria that include among other things the following

• A multiple of your gross monthly income as the maximum quantum of a home loan – typically it is about 100 times your gross income. For instance, if your gross income is Rs 50,000 per month, then you are eligible for a loan amount of Rs 50 lakh.
• The loan amount is also dependent on the value of the home you are buying. It is up to 85% of the value of the home. The bank determines the quantum of the loan based on these two important criteria
