Home Loan

A Home Loan is a long-term financial product that allows individuals to purchase, construct, or renovate a house or apartment by borrowing funds from a bank or a housing finance company. The borrower repays the loan amount in Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs), which include both principal and interest components, over a fixed tenure that typically ranges from 5 to 30 years.

Home loans generally offer lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans since the property acts as collateral. The borrower retains the right to live in and use the property, but the lender holds the mortgage title until the loan is completely repaid.

Additional benefits often include tax deductions on both principal and interest payments under income tax laws, making home loans an attractive option for homeowners.

• Home Construction Loan: For building a new home on owned land.
