2. Housing Finance sector in India

Industry Classification
Life cycle position
Housing finance as a financial service is relatively young in India. The growth in housing
and housing finance activities in recent years reflect the buoyant state of the housing finance
market in India. The real estate sector is the second largest employment generator in the country.
In 1970, the state set up the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) to
finance housing and urban infrastructure activities, in 1977, the Housing Development Finance
Corporation (HDFC) was the first housing finance company in the private sector to be set up in
India.
Currently there are 29 HFCs approved for refinance assistance from NHB.
The following types of home loans are generally available in the market:
Home Equity Loans: A form of finance to the customer by way of mortgage of existing
property to the financier for taking a loan for some other purpose. The current market value of
the property is the basis for providing home equity loans.
Home Extension Loans: The purpose of this loan is the extension of existing houses tike the
addition of rooms, toilet facilities etc. Such loans fall under the category of home loans.
Home Improvement Loans: These loans are provided mainly for repairs and maintenance of
existing houses- These could include internal and external repairing, waterproofing and roofing,
complete interior renovation, tiling and flooring etc.
Home Purchase Loans: Finance provided for the purchase of ready-made houses.

HUDCO is a powerful government organization. Financing state government for infrastructural

development is the main aim. But ever since it has entered individual housing finance sector, the
entire scenario has changed. The main war of interest rates has actually begun when HUDCO
has started giving housing finance for 11.5 % and after deductions the interest rates comes to
8.81%.

3. The Housing Finance System in India

The following chart shows the financial institutes, banks and other specific institutes involved in
financing the people for the houses.

18

Figure 3. 1

The following institutes are providing different Home Loan product to the different class of the
people in the society and conduct the activity of financing and refinancing in the sector.
1. Scheduled Commercial Banks
2. Housing Finance Companies

19

3. Scheduled Cooperative Banks (Scheduled State Co-operative Banks, Scheduled District

Cooperative Banks and Scheduled Urban Cooperative Banks)
4. Agriculture and Rural Development Banks
5. State Level Apex Co-operative Housing Finance Societies

Scheduled Commercial Banks

The SCBs have the largest network of branches and are also the largest mobilizer of savings in
the country. Since housing finance becomes a part of the 40 per cent Priority Sector lending, it
makes business sense for banks to undertake this activity. Moreover, a favorable tax and
regulatory regime, act as catalyst for doing business in this sector. Further, the earmarking of 3
per cent of incremental deposits of SCBs to finance housing activities has ensured availability of
adequate funds for housing activities. Security by way of mortgage of property and robust
demand has been major considerations for banks to lend to this sector.
Housing Finance Companies
To boost the housing sector there is a need to regulate and have a greater access of credit for
housing. Thus a good housing finance system is imperative. Housing Finance Companies (HFC)
need to be recognized as a part of total financial system and should be given a level playing
field.
Amidst liberalization certain provisions of the Companys Act 1956, such as, restrictions on
interoperate loans and deposits continue to discriminate Housing Finance Companies against
other non-banking financial companies. Also certain tax laws, such as deduction of tax at
sources, restrictions on acceptance of cash as deposits are disadvantages to HFC. The Reserve
Bank of India has put housing finance on priority core sector lending. In the developed
countries, the flow of housing finance a substantial share of total financial system. In fact, the
savings for housing is among the single largest source of funds in their entire financial system.
Schedule Cooperative Banks
20

The concept of Co-operatives as an institutional mechanism for satisfying various needs of the
people is premised on the principles of self-help as well as collectiveeffort. Scheduled State
Co-operative Banks, Scheduled District Cooperative Banks and Scheduled Urban Cooperative
Banks come under heading of the Schedule Cooperative Banks. Housing cooperatives have a
prominent place in the cooperative movement in the country. Today, it is estimated that there are
over 92,000 primary housing cooperatives with over 6.5 million members.
The co-operative sector has played an important role in providing housing to its members and
has made a significant impact across the country. The cooperative sector is expected to play a
lead role, particularly in land acquisition, allotment of land and housing sites to encourage group
housing and development of amenities in their projects, as envisaged in the National Housing
and Habitat Policy. The National Co-operative Housing Federation (NCHF) was established as
an apex organization for coordinating, guiding and promoting cooperative housing activities in
the country.
Agriculture and Rural Development Banks
Keeping in view the housing shortage in rural areas, a few state governments, after suitable
legislative amendments, have permitted the Agriculture and Rural Development Banks (ARDBs)
to lend for housing. As the ARDBs do not fall under the category of either SCBs or specialized
housing finance institutions, NHB formulated a scheme to subscribe to special rural housing
debentures floated by ARDBs, backed by the mortgages originated by them, in order to extend
financial assistance to this category of institutions.

State Level Apex Co-operative Housing Finance Societies

Apex Co-operative Housing Finance Societies (ACHFS) at the state level are affiliated to The
National Co-operative Housing Federation (NCHF) of India, which looks after their growth
strategies, policy formulations and evolving housing programmes besides inter-facing with
various institutions to channel finances for these Societies for onward lending to the ultimate

21

borrowers. In addition, NCHF also helps the ACHFS in improving their financial, organizational
and technical capabilities.
The primary housing co-operatives functioning at the grass root level are supported by 25
ACHFS all over the country with a membership of over 6.5 million. These ACHFS represent
about 92,000 housing co-operatives all over the country out of which, about 31,000 housing cooperatives are affiliated to state level ACHFS for getting financial assistance.

4. Issues with the Housing Finance sector in India

Aggressive approach may lead to defaults
Growing competition coupled with reduction in risk weights on housing loans has led the
lending institutions to adopt aggressive practices including very high loan has led the lending
23

institutions to adopt aggressive practices including very high loan to value loans, softening of
collateral requirements, competitive pricing etc. with such an aggressive approach being
followed may lead to increase in the default rates.
Cost of funds
The prevailing interest rate war has resulted in constant downward revision of interest rates.
Further, the spreads are increasingly becoming thin as the lending rates are fast nearing the cost
of funds. While during 1993-94, the interest rate on housing loans were in the range of 17-18%
the same right now are in the range of 7%-8.5%. This may lead to erosion of profitability in the
long run.
Security Deficit due to norms
Many primary lending institutions are making terms and conditions of sanction flexible and
liberal, thus enabling the borrowers to avail the loans even more than value of security for long
tenure of 20 to 25 years. The large quantum of institutional finance in the property transactions
may lead to the problem of security deficit.
Due diligence Issues
Increasingly, there have been instances of dilution in due diligence on the part of lenders.
Sometimes, loans are sanctioned without strictly complying with laid down rules, systems and
procedures. This situation arises primarily out of fierce competitive pressures. It is observed that
the growing customer expectations force the Prime Lending Institutes to compromise due to
diligence, field verification process and appraisal norms, in a rush to sanction the loan at the
earliest.
Lack of Uniformity of norms amongst industry players
While banks and HFCs are the prominent players, HFCs face few constraints. The regulatory
norms stipulate 10% capital adequacy for banks whereas the same is 12% for HFCs. Further,
banks have access to lower cost retail funds compared to HFCs. Uniformity in norms and hence

24

a level playing field has to be ensured for a healthy housing finance system. These are newer
challenges which need to be addressed and resolved in times to come.
Industry Fragmentation
The fragmented nature of the housing finance industry is a major impediment for its further
growth. Despite this, the industry has managed to grow mainly due to consistent decline in
interest rates, tax incentives given by the government and changing income profile of the Indian
middle class population.
Conflicting Interests
While the private housing finance institutions are required to abide by the guidelines of the
NHB, the general financial institutions, which include the commercial banks, follow the
guidelines set by the RBI. Today, both these sections are competing with each other for the same
housing pie but their functioning and lending practices seem to bear no similarity.
ALM
Asset liability mismatch is one of the biggest risks housing finance institutions are confronted
with. Funding of long term loans with short term deposits, leads to a mismatch between assets
and liabilities that can be overcome by adopting appropriate asset liability management (ALM)
techniques.

25

Future Outlook
The onset of year 2010 has brought in some good news for those who are dreaming of a 'home'
with home loan rates as well as property rates spiraling downwards.
The considerable reduction in rates is already beginning to affect deposit rates and will soon lead
to a fresh round of rate cuts for both deposits and loans. In fact home seekers are likely to see
single digit interest rates for regular 20 year home loans (not just for those below Rs. 20 lacs) in
this quarter from at least the PSU banks.
Recently announced stimulus package by the Government entails consumers seeking home loans
between Rs. 5 lacs+upto Rs. 20 lacs a fixed interest rate (for 5 years) of 9.25% and nil
processing and pre-payment fees and free life insurance to boot. However it cannot solve the
issue of lack of risk appetite in the banks. Clearly, the banks want to play safe. On the other hand
consumers The significant reduction in interest rates is likely to result in some increase in
demand for such properties. Notwithstanding some corrections, property prices in popular areas
continue to be unaffordable and we are unlikely to see new demand emerging till the prices reach
some kind of equilibrium. So the number of consumers who will take advantage of this package
is unlikely to be very high. Only if the property rates drop by between 20-25% in the middle and
high-end home segments, one can expect a spurt in the business.
In the meanwhile RBI can make the home loan seeker better equipped by issuing the licenses to
Credit Bureaus so that the consumer's right to his own credit report can be activated. This will
have a significantly positive effect on credit sensitivity in the country and bring home to the
consumer the benefits of paying their bills on time as well as the cost of not paying them on
time. Also make the necessary operational changes in Section 138 of the Negotiable instruments
act to ensure so that people realize the seriousness of issuing cheques and the impact of
dishonoring them. Finally, activate the Mortgage guarantee scheme so that the effective down
payment can be brought down in a home purchase.This will raise the customer's confidence level
and this is the need of the hour! Clearly all things going right we should see a spurt in business
in the last quarter of the year which is also traditionally a large demand quarter. Also await a
further reduction in property prices before they will act on the property purchase decision.

8. Home Loan: The Process

From applying for a home loan to getting it involves various stages. These are:

Step 1: Application form

Step 2: Personal Discussion
Step 3: Bank's Field Investigation
Step 4: Credit appraisal by the bank and loan sanction
Step 5: Offer Letter
Step 6: Submission of legal documents & legal check
Step 7: Technical / Valuation check
Step 8: Valuation
Step 9: Registration of property documents
Step 10: Signing of agreements and submitting post-dated cheques
Step 11: Disbursement

40

1. Applying for a loan

Filling up the application form is the first step. The look of an application form may differ from
bank to bank, but nearly 80 per cent of the information they need is similar. Most of this is
basically personal and professional information, details of applicants financial assets and
liabilities and the details of the property (if finalized) including the estimated cost and the means
of financing the same.
Documents to submit:
While submitting the application form, every bank asks for several documents. And most banks
these days provide doorstep service, so that applicant doesn't have to spend time visiting their
office to submit the documents. However, some banks still insist on the customer visiting their
offices at least once.
Proof of income:
This will need to be backed up by proof such as copies of last three years Income Tax returns
(along with copies of Computation of Income/Annual accounts, if any), Form 16/Form 16A, last
three months salary slips, copies of the last 6 months statements of all applicants active bank
accounts in which applicants salary/business income details are reflected, etc. Other documents
that applicant need to provide with application form include age proof, address proof and
identification proof. Applicant may also be asked to give applicants employment details.
Age proof:
Copy of school leaving certificate/Driving license/Passport/ration card/PAN card/Election
Commission's card/etc.
Address proof:
Similar documents need to be provided to prove that applicant is actually staying at his/her
current address.

41

Identification proof:
Same as above, but with photograph. Sometimes, the same document if it contains a photograph,
the current residential address and the correct age can be the proof for all 3 things.
Employment details:
If applicants company is not well-known, then a short summary about the nature of the
company, its business lines, its main customers, its competitors, number of offices, number of
employees, turnover, profit, etc may be needed. Usually, the company profile that is available on
the standard website of the company is enough.
Financial check:
All the income-related documents submitted by applicant serve a specific purpose. The lending
institution uses them to study financial status. The bank statements are scrutinized for:

Level of activity in the case of self-employed persons, this gives a very good clue about
the extent of business activities.

Average bank balance a cursory glance at the average bank balances maintained in a
savings bank account speaks volumes about the spending/saving habits of any individual.

Cheque returns a small charge debited by bank in the statement indicates that a cheque
issued by applicant was returned by applicants bank. Many such cheque returns can have
a negative impact on applicants loan sanction.

Cheque bounces if cheques deposited by applicant are returned by the issuer's bank, they
will be visible in applicants bank statement and again, banks have specific norms as to
how many such returns are acceptable in a period of one year.

Regular periodic payments the existence of periodic payments to other finance

companies/banks etc. indicate an existing liability and applicant will need to provide full
details to the lender.

Applicants investments also come under the scanner.

This helps the bank to estimate applicants ability to pay the down payment as well as
applicants savings habit.

42

Processing Fee:
Along with the application form and the credit documents, banks ask for a processing fee. This
fee varies from bank to bank, but is usually around 0.25% to 0.50% of the total loan amount. The
agent dealing with applicant earns a commission from the bank, which to some extent is also
affected by the amount of fees paid.
Most banks have flexible fee structures, and it is advisable that applicant negotiate hard to find
out the bank's minimum possible fees though it is unlikely that a bank will agree to provide a
loan without any upfront fee at all. Some banks have zero upfront fee loans, but that advantage
may be negated as their other charges such as legal charges and 'stamp duty is normally higher.
This fee is collected to maintain applicants loan account, and includes work like sending Income
Tax certificates every year, maintaining post-dated cheques, etc.

2. Personal discussion
After applicant has formally and successfully completed the application process, all applicants
have to do is wait till the home finance institution evaluates applicants papers. The wait
normally lasts only a day or two or sometimes even less. However, some banks insist on meeting
applicant after receiving the application form, and before the loan sanction. This is to gather
more details about applicant that may not be mentioned in the application form and to reassure
them of applicants repayment capacity.

3. Field Investigation
Thousands of people apply for loans everyday. And however eager a bank is to complete its
targets, every loan is a risk. So, it is only natural that it confirms or validates the details applicant
provides. The bank checks all applicants information including applicants existing residential
address, applicants place of employment, employer credentials (if applicant work for a small

43

organization), residence and work telephone numbers. Representatives are sent to applicants
workplace or residence to verify the details.
Even the references applicant has provided in the application form are checked out. While this
may sound irritating and an invasion of his/her privacy, banks are forced to undertake validation
in the absence of any credit bureau. Once applicants credentials are validated, it helps establish
trust between applicant and the bank.

4. Credit appraisal and loan sanction

This is the make-or-break stage. If the bank is not convinced about applicants credentials,
applicants application may get rejected. If it is satisfied, it sanctions applicants loan.
The bank or the home financier establishes applicants repayment capacity based on applicants
income, age, qualifications, experience, employer, nature of business (if self employed), etc, and
based on these, works out applicants maximum loan eligibility, and the final loan amount is
communicated to applicant. The bank then issues a sanction letter. This letter may either be an
unconditional letter, or may have certain terms and conditions mentioned, which applicant have
to fulfill before the loan disbursal.

5. Offer letter

Once the loan is sanctioned, the banks sends applicant an offer letter mentioning the following
details:
o

Loan amount

Rate of Interest

Whether fixed or variable rate of interest linked to a reference rate

Tenure of the loan

44

Mode of repayment

If the loan is under some special scheme, then the details of the scheme

General terms and conditions of the loan

Special conditions, if any

Acceptance copy
If applicant agree with what is mentioned in the offer letter from the bank, applicant will have to
sign a duplicate letter of the same for the bank's records. Earlier, banks used to charge
administrative fees along with the offer letter. However, with rising competition, administrative
fees have virtually disappeared from the home loan market.

6. The legal angle: Property and papers

Now, the focus of the banks activities shifts from applicant to the property applicant intends to
buy. Once applicant select his/her property, need to hand over the entire set of original
documents pertaining to applicants property to the bank so that it can keep them as security for
the loan amount given to applicant.
The title documents of applicants seller, which prove the seller\'s title including the chain of title
documents if he is not the first owner. NOCs from the legal owners such as cooperative housing
societies, statutory development authorities, the lessor of the land in the case of leasehold land,
etc. NOCs are not required where the property is situated on freehold land and the entire land is
being transferred along with the structure.
These documents remain in the bank's custody until the loan is fully repaid.
Legal check

Every bank conducts a legal check on applicants documents to validate their authenticity. Even
the draft sale documents that applicant will be entering into with seller will be scrutinised.

45

The documents are sent to a lawyer in their panel (either in-house or outsourced) for a thorough
scrutiny. The lawyer's report either gives a go-ahead if documents are clear, or it may ask for a
further set of documents. In the latter case, applicant is expected to hand over the additional
documents to the bank for a clear title.

7. Technical / Valuation check

Banks are extremely careful about the property they plan to finance. They send an expert to visit
the premises applicant intend to purchase. This expert could either be a bank employee or he
could belong to a firm of architects or civil engineers.
Site visit: The site visits to applicants property are conducted to verify the following:

In case of under construction property: Stage of construction is the same as that

mentioned in the payment notice given to applicant by the builder.
o Quality of construction
o Satisfactory progress of work.
o Layout of flats and area of property is within permissions granted by the
governing authority.
o The builder has the requisite certificates to start construction at the site.
o Valuation of the property in relation to other deals in the surrounding areas.

In case of ready/resale construction

o External / internal maintenance of the property.
o The age of the building.

46

o Will the building last the loan tenure? This has a direct bearing on applicants loan
eligibility, since the loan tenure will be restricted to the maximum age of the
property as decided by the bank's engineer and this will impact applicants loan
eligibility.
o Quality of construction.
o Surrounding area (development).
o Whether the builder has received the requisite certificates for handing over
possession of the flat.
o There is no existing lien or mortgage on the property.
o Valuation of the property in relation to other deals in the surrounding areas.
o These inspections are carried out to protect consumer interests in terms of
construction quality, adherence to local laws, approved building plans, etc. A
technical inspection also lets the bank understand the progress of construction so
as to release the staggered disbursements.

8. Valuation: Reality check

Since housing loans are cheaper than other loans, there have been cases where individuals have
shown purchase of properties from related entities at inflated prices to obtain cheap loans. Since
the risk associated with diversion of funds is higher than if the loan was used for genuine
purposes, banks carry out an independent valuation to find out whether the transaction is in line
with the existing market price of the area.
Valuation of real estate as a profession is still in its infancy in India and is still non-standardised.
In many cases, the valuer determines the value of the property at an amount that is lower than the
documented cost of the property and this would result in the loan amount being lower, since the
bank funds a certain percentage of the cost or valuation of the property, whichever is lower.

47

This practice has led to severe consumer issues in an increasing number of cases, as the
valuation is normally done only after the consumer takes a sanction (by paying a fee) and after
identifying and committing to buy the property.
The valuation issue rarely arises when a property is purchased through a reputed builder directly
or if the property is pre approved. In both the cases, the banks would have already completed the
valuation and therefore, applicant can safely assume that there is no difference between the
documented cost of the property and the bank's valuation amount.

9. Registration: Sealing the deal

After the legal and technical / valuation check, the draft documents as cleared by the lawyer need
to be finalized and signed and the stamping and registration of the documents need to be done.
Also, if any NOCs are pending, these need to be obtained in the format approved by the bank's
lawyer.

10. Signing the home loan agreement: In black & white

All borrowers need to sign the home loan agreement. Applicant also needs to submit post-dated
cheques for the first 36 months (if that is the agreed mode of repayment). The original property
documents have to be handed over to the bank at this stage. Some banks also create a document
recording the handing over of the property documents to them as security for the due repayment
of the home loan.

48

This document is also called a memorandum of entry and attracts significant stamp duty
depending on the amount of the loan in some states. The stamp duty payable on such a
memorandum is naturally recovered from applicant.
Not all banks create this memorandum and hence the stamp duty may or may not be payable,
depending on the practice of the specific bank. However, even where no such memorandum of
entry is created, the state government concerned may, in the future, demand a stamp duty on the
loan transaction, which naturally is recoverable from applicant as per the home loan agreement
signed by applicant.

11. Disbursement
After the bank has ensured that the property is legally and technically clear, all the original
documents pertaining to transfer of ownership of property in applicants favor have been
submitted and all the necessary loan agreements have been executed. Applicant will now actually
receive the cheque in his/her hand. Before the big moment arrives, applicant need to submit
documents to prove that applicant has paid his/her personal contribution towards the property,
since banks normally finance only up to 85-90 % of the total cost of the house.
In case applicant is expecting money from other sources to fund his/her own contribution, need
to provide sufficient evidence for the same. It is only after submitting this proof that the bank
will release part-disbursement of the loan.
The cheque will be in the name of the reseller (for resale flats), builder, society or the
development authority. It is only in exceptional circumstances, that is, if applicant provides
documents to support that he/she has made an excess payment from his/her own account then,
the cheque will be handed over to applicant directly by the bank.
Disbursement in stages
Usually, loans are disbursed on the basis of the stage of construction of the property. So, in case
of resale or ready possession properties, the disbursement is full and final. However, in case of

49

under-construction properties, the payment is made in parts, also known as part-disbursement.

Each option would have different disbursement processes.
1. Part disbursement: When a loan is partly disbursed, the bank does not start EMIs
immediately, since it is calculated on the total loan amount at a particular rate of interest and for
a given tenure. Moreover, it normally does not start breaking up the installments into its principal
and interest components until the entire loan amount is disbursed.
To overcome this difficulty, banks charge simple interest on the partly disbursed loan amount.
For instance, if applicant have a sanctioned loan of Rs10 lakh, but the property is under
construction and the bank has disbursed only Rs4 lakh, applicant will be charged a simple
interest only on the disbursed amount. This process continues until the final disbursement takes
place. The simple interest paid is called Pre-EMI interest or PEMI.
At this stage, banks may take only around three to six post-dated cheques on account of PEMI.
2. Full and final disbursement: If it is a ready-possession property, the bank disburses the
entire loan amount in favor of either the reseller or the builder.

Post Disbursement Relationship

The final disbursement does not end applicants relationship with the bank. In fact, it is just the
beginning. And there are various issues / situations that arise in between the beginning of the
relationship and its end.
These include:
o Payment Receipt
o Repayment
o Income tax certificate
o Prepayment

50

o Loan preclosure/satisfaction
Payment receipt:
Once the bank hands over the pay order to applicant, applicant in turn are expected to hand it
over to the reseller or the builder. Applicant should get a receipt from them for the payment and
hand it back to the bank, as it will become part of applicants mortgage documentation.

Share certificates: In case applicants property is part of a society, applicant will need to get the
flat transferred to applicants name by asking the society to issue the share certificate in
applicants name and recording the transfer of ownership in their books. This normally happens
at the first AGM/EGM after the sale transaction. This transferred share certificate also happens
to be a part of the mortgage documentation and has, therefore, to be handed over to the bank
after the transfer takes place.

Repayment:
The loan is generally repaid by equated monthly installments, using post-dated cheques. Banks
usually ask for 12, 24 or 36 PDCs, after which applicant need to repeat the process until
applicant have repaid the loan. Some banks may also insist on a cheque for an amount equivalent
to the loan outstanding at the end of PDC period to ensure timely replenishment of PDCs for the
next 12, 24 or 36 months as the case may be.
In case applicants installments are to be deducted against applicants salary, applicant needs a
letter from applicants employer accepting this arrangement and directly remitting the amount to
the bank every month. This is possible only if applicants organisation has an arrangement with
the bank for all employees.
Some banks allow applicant to give standing instructions to the bank where applicant have
applicants savings/current account to deduct money each month crediting applicants home loan
account.

51

Another possible mode of payment is by cash or demand draft (not all banks offer this).
Applicant can deposit the EMI every month at the bank's office.

Income Tax certificate:

Every bank issues an income tax certificate that serves as requisite proof to let applicant avail of
tax benefits that accrue on repayment of a home loan. This will typically contain the total
amount of interest and capital repaid during the year. This is mandatory to claim the tax benefit
in respect of self-occupied property. Applicant will have to file this with applicants tax returns
and submit this to applicants employer or chartered accountant to calculate applicants tax
liability.

Prepayment
Applicant can prepay a loan either in part or in full at any given point of time. Applicant can also
prepay it even when it is only partly disbursed. However, most banks have an upper limit on the
number of times a person can prepay his loan in a year as well as on the minimum amount
applicant can prepay each time. Until recently, banks charged a penalty for part or full
prepayment. But increased competition has forced most banks to allow partial prepayment at nil
charge. Most banks levy a prepayment charge if applicant make full repayment and ask for
release of applicants property documents.

Loan pre-closure- satisfaction

Applicant also has the option of completely repaying the loan at any time. Of course, each bank
has its conditions for preclosure. Also, the loan will get completely paid off on the expiry of the
tenure of the loan if applicant has paid all installments on time.
Once applicant has completely repaid his/her loan, ensure that the entire set of original property
documents is handed back to applicant. Applicant should also ask the bank for a No-Objection

52

Certificate saying the account has been cleared. As an option, the bank may issue a consent letter
stating that the property is now free from mortgage.
If applicant has guarantors, the bank will issue a separate letter for each of the guarantors stating
that their liability has come to an end. Only after applicant receive these documents can applicant
say that the property is now completely free of mortgage.
At this stage, in some cases, applicant may discover that the original documents have yet not
been received by the bank from the registrar. In such cases, applicant will need to follow up with
the registrar and get the documents from them directly by showing them a copy of the bank's
clearance certificate.
Sometimes (and we must stress only sometimes) the bank may misplace applicants original
property documents leading to avoidable stress. In fact, the bank may claim that these documents
were never given to them at all. Hence the importance of insisting on a proper receipt of title
documents while handing them over to the bank.
Remember that receipt will come in very useful when the loan is fully paid off. Also, it is
extremely useful when applicant want to shift applicants loan to a new lender.

Factors affecting Home Loan Amount

ICICI Housing Finance provides home loan suited as per clients needs. The home loan amount
depends on clients repayment capability and is restricted to a maximum of 85% of the cost of
the property or the cost of construction as applicable. Repayment capacity takes into
consideration factors such as income, age, qualifications, number of dependants, spouse's
income, assets, liabilities, stability, continuity of occupation and savings history.
However, there are ways by which clients can enhance their eligibility

If clients spouse is earning, put him/her as a co-applicant. The additional income shall be
included to enhance loan amount. Incidentally, if there are any co-owners they must
necessarily be co-applicants.

Fiance's income can also be considered for sanctioning the loan on combined income.
The disbursement of the loan, however, will be done only after the proof of marriage is
submission.

Providing additional security like bonds, fixed deposits and LIC policies may also help to
enhance eligibility.

so, loan officer would provide clients with the necessary details.
The final amount to be sanctioned will depend on your repayment capacity. However, what you
ultimately are entitled to will have to conform within the limits fixed for each loan.
Also, when the company looks at the total cost, registration charges, transfer charges and stamp

9. Analysis of the Information

Housing Survey
1. Purpose of taking Home Loan

There are many different products which are provided by the Banks and Housing Finance
Companies in India. The reason for asking this question is to know the degree of preference
towards Home Loan products by the people.
Table 9. 1

First Purchase in ready construction

Under construction property
Purchase in re-sale
Self construction - extension of existing living space
Land loans
Home Improvement Loan
Figure 9.1 1

From the above graph we can see that maximum number of people prefer the Home Loan for
First Purchase in ready construction and under construction property. Out of which the
preference for the First Purchase in ready construction is comparatively higher, that is 42%. This
data shows that individuals are more attracted towards the purchase of house after they properly
see and feel the house. 32% people have chosen the Home Loan for Under Construction
Property, majority of them have approached Home Loan provider through builders tie-up. We
can see that only 2% out of the sample of 200 have chosen Land Loans. These individuals are
having income more than Rs. 5 Lakh. One of the major reasons for this is they get no tax benefit
on principal and interest of this loan.
2. Type of Home Loan Providers

There are many Housing Finance Companies and Banks which provide home Loan products.
The purpose of asking this question is to know the preferred source, of home loan provider, by
the people.
Table 9. 2

Housing Finance Companies

Banks
Figure 9. 1

76

41
84

We can see that popularity of Banks in Home Loan sector is more than the Housing Finance
Companies. Banks capture 67% of our sample and 33% of people go for Housing Finance
companies. The reason for this is, Banks are providing many products and people are already
taking other services from Banks so Banks are easily acceptable by the people.

2. Housing Finance Companies

This question helps to know the preference of the people towards the Housing Finance
Companies.

Figure 9. 2

77

From the graph we can see that out of 41 people who have taken home loan from the HFC, 47 %
have chosen LIC Housing Finance which is highest amongst the group. One reason for this can
be the lower interest rate of LIC and brand name of LIC. Gruh Finance is also having the second
largest portion of 34 %. In any other category 3 people have specified PNB Housing Finance Ltd
and Bank of Baroda Housing Finance as home loan provider.
4. Banks
This question helps to know the preference of the people towards the Bank as home loan
provider.

Figure 9.3

From the graph we can see that out of 84 people who have taken home loan from the Banks,
36% have chosen SBI. which is highest amongst the group Out of 31 individuals who have
chosen SBI, most of respondents are Government employees and business man. From this we
can say that popularity of SBI. is more in Private sector employees and Businessman. 31%
people have who have gone for HDFC includes 10 Private employees out of which 4 are the
employees of the same organization. Out of 19 individuals of ICICI 9 individuals are
Professionals. Any other category includes banks like ADC, Axis, Dena Bank , Bank of Baroda
and Punjab National Bank and ABN AMRO
5. Amount of loan
Although the loan amount depends on the income proofs, property price and persons ability to
repay the loan amount, this question helps to analyze the number of people falling in to different
ranges of loan amount.

79

Table 9. 5

Less than 5 Lakh

5 Lakh to 10 Lakh
10 Lakh to 15 Lakh
15 Lakh to 25 Lakh
More than 25 Lakh
Figure 9. 4

From the graph we can see that majority of people prefers to take a loan of second and third
range which is 5 Lakh to 10 Lakh and 10 Lakh to 15 Lakh respectively. These individuals are
having the income range of 2.5 Lakh to 5 Lakh and few falls in the income range of more than 5
Lakh. Through this analysis we can say that middle class people are more likely to go for home
loans. Two individuals out of three who have taken the loan of more than 25 Lakh is for the Land
Loan. 7 Females out of 11 females have taken the Home Loan for the amount which is less than
5 Lakh. So that we can see that Females are more likely to take Home Loan of less amount.
6. Time duration of Home loan
There are many options available to home loan takers for deciding their time duration of paying
the Loan and amount of EMIs. This question gives an in-sight regarding the time duration
preferred by the people for Home Loan.

80

Table 9. 6

48
27

5 years to 10 years
10 years to 15 years
15 years or more
figure 9.5

From the above graph we can see that 38% of people prefer the time duration of 10 years to 15
years to pay home loan. One of the main reasons for longer duration to repay the loan is lower
EMIs. As number of years increase the amount of EMIs decreases and this is more convenient to
the middle class people. All the individuals of the category 1 year to 5 years have taken the loan
of the amount less than 5 Lakh. The entire individuals who have taken the loan of more than 15
Lakh and few from the range of 10 Lakh to 15 Lakh falls in the time duration of more than 15
years.
7. Type of interest rate
There are two type of interest rate available to the Home Loan takers. This question gives an
insight towards the choice of interest rate by the people.
Table 9.7

Fixed Rate

45

81

Floating Rate

80

Figure 9.6

From the above graph, we can conclude that 64% of people go for floating rate of interest.
Floating rate gives flexibility and protection to the home loan takers as it varies according to the
market condition and economy of the country. The data shows that number of people are less
who are going for fixed rate of interest. Mostly people believe that if they take the loan at high
fixed interest rate and future interest rates will decrease then they will have to bear unnecessary
interest burden.
8. Range of Fixed interest rate
Interest rate is the important factor affecting the amount of EMIs. In this situation this question
helps to know the people who are paying the fix rate of interest falling in the different ranges
shown below.

Figure 9.7

The above mentioned data indicates that out of 45 people of this category, 55% pay fixed rate of
interest which is more than 13%. Currently Interest rates for Home Loan is low in all Banks and
HFCs. Because of non flexibility of fixed rates they are paying high interest rate and this is the
major reason for the dissatisfaction of all 16 individuals who are discussed in QUE.10 (III)

10. Range of Floating interest rate

11. The characteristic of floating rate is that it changes from time to time. This information
gives the clear picture of the shift of Home Loan rates from one range to another.

Recession in the Indian economy and different steps taken by the RBI for the recovery of the
same is having the positive impact on the floating rates of interest in Home Loan. We can see
that 5 people were falling in the range of 9% to 11% of interest rate at the time of disbursement,
but currently there are 24 individuals falling in this range of floating interest rate. At the same
time we can not ignore that number of individuals falling in the interest rate range of more than
13% is the highest at the time of disbursement with 55% which is now 0%. There are 10
individuals who dont know their current floating rate of interest. This situation can be because
of lack of attention paid towards the timely notice letter sent by the Home Loan Company. In
SBI highest people have selected floating rate of interest, while in HDFC 19 individuals have
selected floating interest rate

Processing Fees are almost similar in most of the Home Loan providers. 67 individuals have
given average rating to Processing Fees. One of the reasons for this can be, when it comes to the
charges or fees, people are not satisfied as they are less willing to pay such charges.

Figure 9. 15

13 people are willing for the prepayment of the Home Loan in which 9 individuals are fixed
interest rate payers. This is the open ended question and people have given the reasons like

Fixed rate of interest is high on their Home Loan and they are more likely to go for
prepayment charges rather than paying high fix rate of interest.

Availability of sufficient fund.

12. Home loan with Insurance cover

Generally there are two types of Home Loan Insurance Covers, one is Life Insurance and another
is General Insurance. Premium of this insurance is sometimes included in the EMIs paid by the
91

Loan taker or sometimes paid separately, as per the choice of client. Insurance cover is decided
on the bases of the amount of Home loan, age of the person, property price and tenure of the
loan. Insurance cover cannot be more than the amount of Home Loan. Premium paying term is
the tenure of the Loan and if property is under construction then, construction period is also
added in that.
Table 9. 16

No

Figure 9. 16

92

As it is not compulsory and it highly depends on the preference of the Home Loan taker to either
take the insurance or not, majority of people from the sample of have not taken insurance with
their Home Loan. One of the reasons for this can be increased burden of premium as person is
already paying EMI and individuals are not much ready to bear extra payments.

14. Willingness of transfer of home loan

People have responded for these questions for the transfer of Home Loan from one provider to
another provider. This question is helpful to know the factors affecting the satisfaction level of
the loan takers.
Table 9. 17

Figure 9. 17

93

17 people are willing to transfer there loan. All these people are the clients of private Home Loan
providers namely Gruh Finance, HDFC, ICICI. For this, people have given reasons like high
interest rate charged by them. Out of 17 individuals 8 have committed that they want to shift to
S.B.I. because of its 8% interest rate scheme.
15. Sources of approaching home loan provider

Before going for the Home Loan, people try to get the details of different products and loan
providers through different sources mentioned below. Generally they seek information like Rate
of Interest, commitment towards services and ease of all processes.

From the data we can see that word of mouth is the best source people think, to get the
information as 48 % people have taken suggestion from their friends and relatives for Home
Loan.
Any other category includes reasons like

Either that person or his/her spouse/family members working in that organization

Satisfied with the banking services, so have chosen the same for Home Loan.

Few were the clients of different other loans of that organization in the past and their
satisfaction level has led them towards the home loan of the same organization.

Figure 9. 19

From the above graph we can see that 91 % of the respondents are Male and only 9 %
respondents are Female. This data includes the names of people who have taken the Loan on
their own names. Major decisions regarding huge amount of financial products are generally
taken by the Male.

CHI Square Test.

Purpose:
The purpose of this of this test is to analyze that whether the amount of loan is dependent
on income of a respondent or not. So we will assume two hypotheses related to this
analysis.
Ho: There is significant relation between income of a respondent and amount of Home
loan
H1: There is no significant relation between income of a respondent and amount of Home
loan

Correlation Analysis
The coefficient of correlation is the second measure that we can use to describe how well
one variable is explained by another. When we are dealing with samples, sample coefficient
of relation is denoted by r and is the square root of sample coefficient of determination.

Here we have used r to study the relation between income of respondents and the home
loan amount.

12. Conclusion

The Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India have been constantly providing an
enabling environment for the furtherance and development of the housing finance sector and
Two Million Housing Programs which are being monitored annually by the Ministry of Urban
Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. To give the boost to the economy and to control the money
supply in the market RBI has reduced the interest rates for home loans.
Majority of population of India consist of middle class people. This Housing survey reflects the
same fact that it is dominated by the middle class people when it comes to take the Home loan.
Recession in the Indian economy and different steps taken by the RBI for the recovery of the
same is having the positive impact on the floating rates of interest in Home Loan. Popularity of
Floating rate of interest is more compared to fixed rate of interest due to flexibility according to
economic condition
Main purpose of Housing Finance Companies is to provide Home Loan but still people are more
inclined to go for a Bank when it comes to taking a Home Loan.
Reason for dissatisfaction among the Home Loan taker is high fixed interest rate which is paid
by these people so they are more willing for prepayment and transfer of Home Loan.
Concept of insurance with Home Loan is not much popular in Home Loan takers, rather than
believing it as a risk cover people are taking it as an additional burden on their ongoing EMIs.
Above mentioned factors affect this sector positively or adversely but one of the major factors
which is helping this sector to grow is rapidly increased population and people are accepting this
as a need rather than a financial burden.
