Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum home loan tenure?

Most banks offer home loans for up to 30 years, but the tenure is limited by retirement age (usually 60-65 years for salaried, 70 for self-employed). Longer tenure means lower EMI but higher total interest.

Should I take a fixed or floating rate home loan?

In India, floating rate loans are more popular as they're typically 0.5-1% lower than fixed rates. Floating rates also have no prepayment penalty. Choose fixed rate only if you expect interest rates to rise significantly.

How much down payment do I need?

Banks finance 75-90% of property value (LTV ratio). You need 10-25% as down payment. For properties above ₹75 lakh, LTV is limited to 75%, requiring 25% down payment. First-time buyers with good credit may get up to 90% financing.
