❓ Common questions
- How much home loan can I get based on my income?
- Most banks offer home loans up to 60 times your monthly net salary, subject to existing obligations. A common guideline is that your total EMIs should not exceed 40–50% of your monthly take-home pay.
- What is the minimum down payment for a home loan in India?
- RBI guidelines require a minimum LTV (Loan-to-Value) ratio: for loans up to ₹30 lakh, lenders can fund up to 90% (10% down); for ₹30–75 lakh, up to 80% (20% down); above ₹75 lakh, up to 75% (25% down).
- Should I choose a fixed or floating rate home loan?
- Floating rates track the RBI repo rate and are lower when rates fall, but unpredictable. Fixed rates provide payment certainty but are typically 1–2% higher initially. Most borrowers in India choose floating rates for long-tenure loans.
- What tax benefits are available on home loans?
- Under the Income Tax Act: Section 80C allows deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh on principal repayment; Section 24(b) allows up to ₹2 lakh deduction on interest paid for a self-occupied property. Additional benefits apply for first-time buyers.
- How does prepayment affect my home loan?
- Making lump-sum prepayments reduces outstanding principal, cutting future interest significantly. On a floating-rate home loan with no prepayment penalty (mandated by RBI), even one extra EMI per year can shorten the tenure by 2–3 years.
