PRODUCT PROFILE
HOME LOANS
Home loan is the sum of money a bank or financial institution lends you to help
By taking a home loan from a bank or a housing finance company you pledge
your home as the lender’s security for repayment of your loan. The bank or
financial institution will hold the title or deed to the property till the loan has
Home loans are generally taken for long tenures, as the loan amount is usually a
huge sum. A home loan can be taken anywhere between 5 and 30 years. The
amount of loan one is eligible for is dependent on the individual’s credit profile.
Home loans are available on fixed rate of interest as well as floating rate of
interest.
In fixed rate loans, the interest rate remains fixed over the life of the loan,
irrespective of the interest rates in the open market. The plus point of fixed rate
14 | P a g e
loans is that they remain steady over the years, making at least one aspect of
your monthly cash flow predictable. However, the flip side is that the lenders
charge a higher rate of interest for fixed-rate loans because if interest rates shoot
up, they lose the opportunity to make more money on the funds they are
lending.
In floating rate loans, the rate of interest changes according to a set formula as
interest rates fluctuate in the open market. The plus point is that lenders charge
a
lower rate for such loans because you are taking on some of the interest-rate
risk. The downside is that interest rates may rise anytime and you can end up
paying more than fixed rate loans. The type of interest you opt for will entirely

Also, many banks may insist on getting your home insured to safeguard their
interest. There are various kinds of insurance covers available for you. Apart
from getting the mandatory ones you should try to get insurance as per your
circumstances. You also have a choice of getting insured from another company
16 | P a g e
Other costs
The interest rates and EMIs are not the only cost factor. Administration fee and
fees, administration fees, valuation fee, legal fee, is to be paid when you apply
for a loan and other fees paid at closing. Many of these fees are negotiable. You
should ask for zero processing fees and zero-penalty for pre-payment option. If
this were not available, then lowest cost would be better. Make sure you work
out as to how much these other costs add up to. So even though the interest rate
may be lower, it usually adds up to being expensive. If the EMIs may come out
a lot more than what you can afford on a monthly basis; try to redo the math
Penalties
Once you have received the loan, do your best to pay it back as quickly as
possible. But this early payment might invite a pre-payment clause. Banks make
their money off the interest they charge and the sooner you pay back a loan, the
less money you will have to pay in interest. When it comes to Home loans,
penalties are binding, like if you chose to pay up your entire money before the
tenure, a Pre- payment penalty is charged. So you should know about such

such cases you may opt to swap your loan. This could be done from either the

same HFI or another HFI at the current rates of interest, which is lower.
Taking a home loan nowadays has become very simpler. The RBI has been
regularly slashing interest rates, with the result that housing finance loans that
came at an interest rate of 16.5% to 18% four years ago are now available at
11.5% to 13% or lower. Each year the Finance Minister's generosity during the
Budget seems to be solely concentrated for the housing sector and construction
sector. The Revised discussion paper on Direct Tax Code has proposed to
continue with the existing system of deducting interest payment (up to Rs. 1.5
Lakhs) against home loans from total income before calculating the tax liability.
The department has increased the exemption limit to Rs. 3 lakhs from present
level of Rs. 1.1 Lakhs against investments in selected investments. Rs. 1.5 lakhs
interest benefits against home loan will be included under 3 lakhs ceiling. To
top it all, the Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) are aggressively wooing
customers. Now, when the sun shines, it’s the best time to make hay.
The Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are recognized under the Foreign Exchange
Regulatory Act, 1973. Every bank and housing finance companies follow the

• Government servants who are posted abroad on duty with the Indian
• India where the officials draw their salaries out of Government resources;
• Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP);
However, for availing home loans, NRIs have to fulfill certain conditions
according to provisions of the Income Tax Act. They should have stayed in
India for a period of 182 days or more within an assessment year or they should
have stayed in India for at least a total of one year or more.
Last but not the least, NRIs should take due care while selecting their home loan

As home loan rates increase, the loan eligibility for a borrower becomes stiffer.
In such a scenario, some home loan borrowers might have to re-evaluate their
options (in terms of loan amount) on account of the new eligibility criteria.
One of the basic process of enhancing the home loan eligibility is by opting for
a higher tenure. This is so because the EMI, which an individual has to pay,
starts to decline as the tenure increases while the interest rate as well as the
principal amount remains the same. What changes though, is the net interest
outgo, which rises with a rise in tenure. And since the individual is paying a
lower EMI now, his 'ability to pay' and therefore his loan eligibility

step-up loan is a loan wherein an individual pays a lower EMI during the initial
years and the same is enhanced during the rest of the loan tenure. HFCs usually
consider the lower EMI of the initial years to calculate his loan eligibility while
the initial lower EMI helps increase the individual's 'capacity to borrow'.

The markets for home loans have been sizzling in India. The spurt in growth in
49 | P a g e
recent years and the prospect of continued buoyancy in demand have attracted
many players to the industry which till a couple of years back had two major
players- HDFC and LIC Housing Finance. The result is cut-throat competition,
which has benefited the loan seekers. The home loan market has grown at a
compounded rate of over 40% over the last four years. And from what industry
experts believe that there is a little chance that there will be any significant
decline in the growth rates going forward. So what have been the key factors in
There are several reasons for the same on the demand side:-
more affordable.
Decline interest rates, which have greatly reduced the cost of borrowing
(both o0n interest and capital).
Then there are factors on the supply side too which have supported this growth:-
charging lower interest rates, sometimes even at the cost of spread (i.e.
profit margin)
50 | P a g e
The fee for getting the home loan has reduced dramatically over the last
needs of wide variety of customers. One such scheme, the Step up Loan,
where EMI’s increases as the income of the individual increases has been
a big hit with the individuals just starting off with their careers.
One innovation in the housing finance sector has been the introduction of
floating rate home loan simply put the cost of such home loan or the interest
rate
not fixed during the tenure of the loan. Instead interest rate is benchmarked
against some index/ indicator. So as the benchmark rate moves up or down, the
cost of your loan too changes, at some predetermined frequency (usually once a
51 | P a g e
quarter).
There are three important issues which one needs to consider before opting for
term expectation of interest rate. For example if you (or the experts)
expects the rates to rise for the next one year, but then decline gradually
over the next several years a floating rate product may be preferable. The
other option for going in for a fixed rate product and then switching at the
end of the year will entail costs (there could be penalty of 1%-2% of the
outstanding loan amount) and may not make financial sense. Moreover
floating rate home loans do not change the rate of interest every quarter
(even though they review the rate every quarter). Mr. Menon points out
“The attraction of a floating rate home loan is that it does not attract a
part prepayment charge. This could appeal to individuals who get lump
sum bonuses which they can use to reduce their loan exposure.”
Second, the issue whether fixed rate home loan are actually ‘fixed rate’.
52 | P a g e
When considering a fixed rate home loan over floating rate of home loan
a strong selling point is that if interest rate were to rise dramatically you
that companies that have given out fixed rate home loans can revise their
rate for one) so if you think interest rate will remain rage bound over the
near term and decline over the long term, you are still better off with the
floating rate product. This holds true in the current environment where
the fixed rate loan is at a higher interest rate as compared to the floating
expect that interest rate are likely to move up, but only to the extent of
this differential, then you should ideally be in different between the two
types of loan. The deciding factors then should be when you think the
53 | P a g e
rates will increase and also the long term expectations of interest rates.
fixed rate home loan. If you are a person with very little appetite for risk or
negative surprises, opt for fixed rate home loan. But in case you can take on

charges and other costs that may be involved in taking the home loan. A
written statement of all the fees from the housing finance companies will
3) Get pre-approval letter. This gives you substantial leverage as you are
then seen as serious buyer by the seller of the property. Also, having the
letter in your hand will set a limit to the amount of money you can
commit to the property. This will help in identifying the right property.
54 | P a g e
4) Bargain for a lower rate of interest. Housing finance will reduce their
‘rack’ rates for customers with the good credit record. A bargain deal
will easily fixed a home loan at significantly lower rates (at times you can
get a discount of as high as 0.50 percent). Here again get a confirmation
of the rate (and for how long it will remain fixed) via a letter.
If they are looking for a home loan, be prepared to cough up a pretty sum as
down payment. The RBI, in a recent meeting with the bankers cautioned banks
against lending 100% of the property value. That is because of increasing
competition in home loan some banks have been funding even 110% of the
agreement value. This means your loan not only pay for the property, it helps
with the stamp duty and registration charges and even furnishing. Its being
sweet deal so for, as borrower not only need have no access to other funds, they
also get tax breaks.

AMOUNT
This largely depend on a no. of facts like ones age ,profession, salary, the city
one reside is among other such factors. it varies between 2.1lakh to 1crore
depending on the lender- as the rule of the thumb, depending on HFC one have
to cough up 15% - 20% of the loan amount as the down payment. For smaller
amount, this may not be much. But for figure remaining into lakh this could
make loads of difference. For e.g. an apartment of costing Rs 10 lakh may get
85% financing, so one will have to arrange for remaining Rs 15 lakh. If one
takes this into amount the additional thousands will definitely put a strain on
ones finances
INTEREST RATE
Without doubt the most important parameter to factor into ones calculations.
The interest rates may vary from institution to institution. Repayment is in the
form of EMI’s (equated monthly installment). The longer the tenure, the more
one pays in interest, but ones monthly payment will be less. The interest rate of
ICICI is
10 -15 Fixed 16 %
5 - 10 Fixed 16 %
1-5 Fixed 16 %
1-5 Floating 16 %
5 - 10 Floating 11.25 %
10 - 15 Floating 16 %
64 | P a g e
15 - 20 Floating 16 %
MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES
The interest rates and EMI’s are not only the cost factor. Never underestimate
how much the processing fee and administration fees amount to. A 0.5%
administration fees and 0.5% processing fee on say, a Rs.500000 loan would be
Rs.5000. other timesit could be just one fee (either administration or processing
but could yet work out to be much more if it is considerably higher at, say, 2.5%
or 3%. The various other fees, which one is required to pay along with the
margin amount are:
INTEREST TAX:
This is tax payable on the interest paid on a home loan and not the principal.
This is sometimes included in the interest rate of the loan, or may be charged
separately as interest tax.
PROCESSING CHARGE
It is the fee payable to the lender on applying for a loan. It is either a fixed
amount not linked to the loan or may be a percent of the loan amunt. The loan
amount received by you can be less than processing fee.
PREPAYMENT PENALTIES
When the loan is paid back before the nd of the agreed duration a penality is

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
1)Ben R. Craig had studied about the Federal Home Loan Bank Lending to
Community Banks, are Targeted Subsidies Necessary? The Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Act of 1999 amended the lending authority of the Federal Home Loan
Banks to include advances secured by small enterprise loans of community
financial institutions. Three possible reasons for the extension of this selective
credit subsidy to community banks and thrifts are examined, including the need
to: subsidize community depository institutions, stabilize the Federal Home
Loan Banks, and address a market failure in rural markets for small enterprise
loans. They empirically investigate whether funding constraints impact the
small-business lending decision by rural community banks. Specifically, they
estimate two empirical models of small-business lending by community banks.
The data reject the hypothesis that access to increased funds will increase the
amount of small-business loans made by community banks.
2) In May 18, 2007 Michael LaCour-Little had studied about the Economic
Factors Affecting Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Reporting. The public release
of the 2004-2005 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data raised a number of
questions given the increase in the number and percentage of higher-priced
80 | P a g e
home mortgage loans and continued differentials across demographic groups.
Here we assess three possible explanations for the observed increase in 2005
over 2004: (1) changes in lender business practices; (2) changes in the risk
profile of borrowers; and (3) changes in the yield curve environment. Results
suggest that after controlling for the mix of loan types, credit risk factors, and
the yield curve, there was no statistically significant increase in reportable
volume for loans originated directly by lenders during 2005, though indirect,
wholesale originations did significantly increase. Finally, given a model of the
factors affecting results for 2004-2005, we predict that 2006 results will
continue to show an increase in the percentage of loans that are higher priced
when final numbers are released in September 2007.
3) In December 2002 Melissa B. Jacoby had studied about the Home Ownership
Risk beyond a Sub prime Crisis: The Role of Delinquency Management. They
studied that Public investment in and promotion of homeownership and the
home mortgage market often relies on three justifications to supplement shelter
goals: to build household wealth and economic self-sufficiency, to generate
positive social-psychological states, and to develop stable neighborhoods and
communities. Homeownership and mortgage obligations do not inherently
further these objectives, however, and sometimes undermine them.
4) In October 14, 2008 David P. Bernstein had studied about the Home Equity
Loans and Private Mortgage Insurance: Recent Trends & Potential Implications.
They studied about the impact of increased use of home equity lines and
decreased private mortgage insurance (PMI) on mortgage markets. The data
confirms that in the years leading up to the mortgage crisis home buyers and
lenders have aggressively used piggyback loans to avoid taking out PMI on first
mortgages. Multiple-mortgage financing packages as a percent of newly
originated mortgages (mortgages originated within the previous five years) went
from 14.8% in survey year 2001 to 21.5% in survey year 2007
81 | P a g e
5) In August 2007 Michael LaCour-Little had studied about the Home Purchase
Mortgage Preferences of Low- and Moderate-Income Households. Housing
policy in the United States has long supported homeownership, yet variation
persists across income groups. This article employs recent mortgage origination
data to focus on the revealed preferences of low- and moderate-income (LMI)
households in home purchase mortgage choice. I identify the factors associated
with conventional conforming, FHA, nonprime and specially targeted programs.
Empirical results show that individual credit characteristics and financial
factors, including pricing, generally drive product choice, with some variation
evident when loans are originated through brokers. Results also indicate that
targeted conventional programs effectively compete with government-insured
products in the LMI segment.
7) In 10 December 2007 Irina Paley and Chau Do had studied about the
Explaining the Growth of Higher-Priced Loans in HMDA: A Decomposition
Approach. The period 2004-2005 showed a significant increase in Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) rate spread reporting. Following the Oaxaca
(1973), Blinder (1973), and Fairlie (2005) decomposition techniques, this study
82 | P a g e
identifies the fraction of the increase due to the flattening of the yield curve.
Even after controlling for changes in borrower risk characteristics, the findings
reveal that during 2004-2006, the flattening of the yield curve explains a
significant amount of the increase in rate spread reportable loans. This is the
case for both prime and sub prime originations.
8) In Feb. 1 2009 Vincent W. Yao and Eric Rosenblatt and Michael LaCour-
Little had studied about the unique paired loan dataset containing information
on multiple conventional conforming mortgage loans of households to examine
home equity extraction decisions over the period 2000-2006. The main question
addressed is how much households borrow when refinancing their current
mortgage debt in a cash-out transaction. We also provide estimates of the
marginal effect of certain borrower characteristics. Results contribute both to
the literature on refinancing behavior and the role of house price appreciation in
providing funds that may be used for consumer spending or other purposes.
