Important: Actual eligibility depends on the bank's assessment, credit score, property value, and other factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum salary for a home loan?
Most banks require a minimum net salary of ₹25,000-30,000 per month for home loans. However, the loan amount you'll qualify for depends on your total income and existing obligations.
Can self-employed individuals get home loans?
Yes, but banks require ITR for the last 2-3 years. Eligibility is calculated based on average annual income. Self-employed borrowers may get slightly lower loan amounts compared to salaried individuals.
Does age affect home loan eligibility?
Yes, banks limit tenure so that the loan is repaid by retirement (60-65 years for salaried, 70 for self-employed). Younger borrowers can get longer tenure and thus higher loan amounts.
