A processing fee is charged up to 0.50% of the loan amount or Rs.3,000, whichever is higher. The applicable taxes are excluded from the above criteria. There may be other fees and charges associated.
The loan amount is usually high and is generally taken for a longer tenure upon which a rate of interest is levied. An important tool like home loan EMI calculator is, therefore, much needed to help you evaluate and plan your budget.
Your eligibility for getting a home loan and the estimate on loan amount is provided based on your current monthly net income and the actual EMIs you have been currently paying. You will get an estimate on how much loan amount you are eligible for.
Based on this estimate, you may select a property within the range of the loan amount. The actual loan amount may then be decided based on other factors, such as the property location, current market value, future value, and more.
As of now, the interest rates have been the same both for salaried and self-employed applicants. However, the rates are subject to change from time to time, based on several factors.
Women applicants are provided with a concession of up to 0.05% on a home loan. Though it may seem a very small share, it makes a difference when considering the home loan’s overall cost.
The bank has mentioned on its official website that those with a credit score of 700 and above get an interest rate of 6.80% p.a.-7.45% p.a. However, you can still approach the bank with your credit score even if it does not fall in the specified range. The bank may make a favourable offer based on your credit score, income, and other factors.
