Eligibility criteria for home loan in Mumbai

Home loan eligibility criteria are generally assessed by banks or NBFCs based on the following parameters: 

Repayment capacity 

Repayment capacity for self-employed business owners can be measured in various ways by home loan providers, including: 

Traditional

The conventional way of determining an applicant’s loan repayment capacity is through formal financial documentation and direct evidence of income. This method relies on standardized criteria and a thorough documentation process to assess the creditworthiness of a self-employed individual. Here’s what it typically involves: 

  • Income Proof. 
  • Business Stability. 
  • Age. 
  • Bank Statement. 
  • Debt to Income Ratio. 
  • Repayment History. 
  • Collateral. 
  • Qualification of Borrower. 

Non-Traditional 

The Non-Traditional or surrogate method in the context of Self-Employed business owner’s home loans is an alternative assessment approach used by Banks and NBFC’s when traditional proof of income is insufficient to capture the borrower’s true financial status.  

The assessment is done based on any of the below parameters.

  • Average bank balance. 
  • Gross Turnover. 
  • GST Returns. 
  • Asset-based lending. 
  • Liquid Investment Based lending. 
  • Repayment track record. 
  • Average EBITA. 

Repayment history 

Maintaining a positive repayment history, marked by on-time payments and responsible handling of various credit types, can enhance chances of being approved for a home loan, significantly. Here’s what it typically includes: 

  • Timely Loan Repayments 
  • Timely Credit card Repayments 
  • Utilisation of Other credit facilities 
  • Frequency of late payments 
  • Duration of credit history 
  • History of Defaults 

Collateral value 

Loan to Value (LTV) ratio for Self Employed home loans is determined based on the property’s value: 

  1. Agreement Value
    > Home loans can be sanctioned to the extent of 75-95% of the market value.
    > The remaining 5 – 25% is paid by the applicant as a Down Payment for Loan.
  2. Market Value of the Property 
    > It is determined by the empaneled valuers of the Bank or NBFC. 
    > The loan amount can be sanctioned to the extent of 75 – 90% of the market value, not exceeding 95% of the sales agreement value.

NOTE: In the case of Balance transfer of home loan, property value is determined based on market value.

Loan tenure 

Home loans can be availed for a minimum tenure of 1 year and a maximum tenure of 25 years. However, the borrower’s age at the time of loan termination should not be more than 70 years. 

Employment Status 

The applicant must be a salaried employee with a steady income working for a government institution, a private company, or a multinational corporation (MNC). Some lenders may also require a minimum service period, such as a 1-3 year employment record, to ensure job stability. 

Borrower Age Limit 

The applicant must be at least 21 years old at the time of loan application and usually at most 60-65 years old at the time of loan maturity. 

Income Considered 

Income considered for loan eligibility includes: 
> Monthly Salary income. 
> Incentive or Bonus from Employment.
> Proposed annual increase with proof. 
> Other regular income is in the form of rent, etc. 

Repayment history 

A good credit score, usually 750 or above, is essential as it indicates the borrower’s creditworthiness and repayment history. A high credit score can improve the chances of loan approval and may result in more favourable loan terms, such as lower home loan interest rates. 

Existing Loan Obligations 

Existing loan obligations affect the borrower’s repayment capacity and eligibility for home loans. Lower obligations mean higher disposable income. 

Collateral 

Residential property purchased through a home loan is mortgaged with a lender. The Bank checks for clear legal titles, builder credentials, and compliance with all regulatory requirements. 

Loan to Property Ratio 

Home loans can be obtained up to 90% of the property’s agreement value, subject to meeting the appropriate market value criteria. 

Nationality 

The applicant must be an Indian citizen, a Person of Indian Origin (PIO), or a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) to obtain a home loan. 

Co-applicant 

Co-applicant income can be added to increase loan eligibility.
