What questions does the Loan Advisor answer?

Which bank gives the lowest home loan interest rate?

Bank of Baroda and SBI typically start from 8.4–8.5% for prime profiles. Private banks (HDFC, ICICI, Axis) cluster at 8.7–8.85%. LIC HFL is competitive at 8.5%.

How much home loan can a salaried person get?

Typically 60× monthly net income, capped at 80–85% loan-to-value of the property. A ₹1 lakh/month salaried profile usually qualifies for ~₹45–60 lakh depending on age and existing EMIs.

Self-employed vs salaried — who gets a better rate?

Salaried profiles get 25–50 bps lower rates due to predictable income. Self-employed profiles need 3 years of ITRs, audited financials and may need a higher down payment.

What credit score is required for a home loan?

750+ unlocks the best rates. 700–749 is standard. Below 700, expect a 25–75 bps rate premium or partial rejection — fix the score before applying.

Can I take a joint home loan with my spouse?

Yes — and it is recommended. Both incomes add to eligibility, both get the ₹2 lakh interest + ₹1.5 lakh principal tax deduction under sections 24(b) and 80C, and women co-applicants often get a 5 bps rate concession.

What is the typical processing fee?

0.25–1% of the loan amount + 18% GST. SBI is the lowest; private banks are higher but often run waiver promos in Q4 of the fiscal year.

Should I take a fixed or floating rate home loan?

Floating is cheaper today (RBI in cut cycle). Pick fixed only if you expect rates to rise sharply over the next 3 years; otherwise floating with annual review is the consensus pick.

Can I refinance my existing home loan to a lower rate?

Yes — balance transfer to a bank offering 50+ bps lower rate is worthwhile if you have 5+ years tenure remaining. Account for the 0.5% processing fee on the transferred amount.

Does checking eligibility affect my CIBIL score?

Not here. This tool uses your inputs locally and does not contact a credit bureau. A lender’s formal application may involve a credit enquiry.

Why can the eligible amount be lower than the bank’s headline limit?

We cap obligations at 50% of net income for salaried profiles and 45% for self-employed profiles, reduce capacity by existing EMIs, and cap tenure by assumed retirement age. We also cap the loan at 80% of your target property value. Lenders use their own rules.

Are joint-loan tax benefits automatic?

No. Benefits depend on the applicable tax regime, co-ownership, co-borrowing, actual repayment share, completion status and other conditions. The older reference answer above should not be read as a universal entitlement; consult a tax professional.

Does a lower advertised rate guarantee a better loan?

No. Ask for the APR and a Key Facts Statement, and compare processing and legal fees, reset frequency, benchmark spreads and prepayment terms. Published rates and concessions may not apply to your profile.
