42 Residential In the present scenario most developers have tie-ups with Banks or Housing
Project Approval Finance Corporations (HFC) who offer Home Loans to their customers. It makes
convenient for home loan buyers and saves them from the horror of collecting the
Legal Documents of the projects from the developers. Following are the methods
of approval of the Projects:
Approval under Normal Route:
1. Eligible builders:
Builders who have been in the line of activity for a minimum period of 5
years Or Builders affiliated to the Industry Body i.e., State Chamber
of Housing Industry/ CREDAI with excellent track of record. Or Builders
enjoying ISO Certification Or SPV/SPC created for the purpose of
development of the Residential project with excellent Track record of the
Key Promoters + rating CRISIL/ICRA
The constitution of the Builder Partnership Firms/ Private/Public Ltd
Company/LLP or Registered Employee Welfare Organizations, Co-

other Banks (can be ascertained by perusal of RBI’s defaulters list/ access
to CIBIL/CRILC date etc.), (ii) Land misappropriation and (iii) Tax evasion
etc. against the Builder/ Developer
In case of Cooperative Group housing Societies, Authorities previous
experience or past track record is not needed.
Satisfactory opinion report should be obtained in respect of
Builders/Developers from their Bankers who enjoy credit facilities with
other banks. In case of non-cooperation from their present bankers, a
registered post letter should be dispatched for seeking the opinion as per
proforma. In the meanwhile the same can be verified from CIC Bureau

Supplementary legal opinion is to be obtained for the individual flats as the
title of the project land is scrutinized by our panel advocate, however this is
more relevant in the case where agreement to sale is registered at Sub
Registrar Office in the beginning.
But there are many states where agreement to sale is executed between
Builders and purchaser on simple stamp paper without its registration at Sub
Registrar Office, then in that case it is the duty of the sanctioning authority to

exception, but not as regular practice provided other due diligence measures are
intact and followed in to.
PROCESS FLOW FOR POST PROJECT APPROVAL
Subsequent Search:
CPC/ZO (where original file is kept) should obtain periodical Title Search Report
once in every 12 months from the date of previous Search to verify the status of
encumbrance of the Project land (applicable only where Registered Agreement
for sale is not in vogue). The report should be uploaded at Builder Tie-ups site by
CPC/ZO immediately on receipt. A list for subsequent Periodical Search should
be maintained by CPCs/ ZOs and request for subsequent search should be sent
to the Advocate regularly.
Inspection Report:
The Nodal officer from CPC/ZO should obtain Quarterly Inspection/visit Report of
the Project (as per annexure IX), mentioning the stage and level of construction
at Builder site. This Report should be referred by other offices/ CPCs. The CPCs,
therefore, have a greater responsibility to ensure timely and regular updation of
Inspection Reports in respect of all Projects falling within their jurisdiction.
Inventory Report:
The CPC/ZO should monitor the inventory record on Quarterly basis, by visiting
the Project site/ Marketing office and maintain a record of the same to accelerate
marketing efforts besides avoiding multiple sale/financing. The provision for
updating on RERA site is also there and cross verification to be made as per
necessity.
Disbursement Procedure:
Validity of Approval
The validity of the project approval will continue for the duration of the Project, viz;
as long as the sales are taking place in the Project. A Review should be done by
the Approving Authority at the interval of 12 months to assess the business
booked.
To mitigate the exposure risk and to avoid over exposure from risk management
perspective on any single project, the exposure of financing the dwelling units in
Page 45 of 159
Master Circular - Housing Loan
approved project should not exceed 25% of the total number of dwelling units of the
project in case of own financing and in case of approved project without our any credit
exposure maximum ceiling of exposure is 20% of the total dwelling units of the project.
However please note that it is builder specific but project specific as recognized for
approval in the RERA acts (e. g. if each tower having separate RERA registration
No. then it will be considered two project even if it is promoted by the same builder
and maximum ceiling exposure will be considered accordingly)

Scenario 2. Mr. A has applied for vehicle loan/Housing loan and has CIBIL score of 650,
his spouse Mrs. A is the co-borrower and has CIBIL score of 750.Where income of First
applicant is considered and Income of second applicant is not considered then CIBIL
score of the first applicant may be taken as the base to apply the rate of interest.
Scenario 3. Mr. A has applied for vehicle loan/Housing loan and has CIBIL score of 650,
his spouse Mrs. A is the co-borrower and has CIBIL score of 750. Where income of both
the applicants is considered then CIBIL score of the first applicant may be taken as the
base to apply the rate of interest.
Scenario 4. Mr. X has CIBIL score of 800 and Mr. Y is below 550.
In this case neither income nor loan of Mr. Y has to be considered as CIBIL score is less
than 600.
Scenario 5. Mr. A has applied for vehicle loan/Housing loan and has CIBIL score of 650,
his spouse Mrs. A is the co-borrower and has CIBIL score of 750. Where income of
second applicants is considered and Income of first applicant is not considered then
CIBIL score of the second applicant may be taken as the base to apply the rate of
interest.
Our department is of the opinion to apply the rate of interest based on the CIBIL
score of the 1st applicant. However request your opinion to consider the CIBIL score
and apply rate of interest.
3. What will be the consideration of the CIBIL score below 600 of the borrower/s in
housing/Vehicle loan proposals?
Borrower/co-borrower with CIBIL score general less than 600(except o or -1) is not to
be accepted (other than spouse). For ex. if the co-borrower with income consideration
has a CIBIL score less than 600 then he/she is not eligible to be the co-borrower and
in this case, another co-borrower or guarantor is to be taken who meets the CIBIL
score requirement.
For ex. Mr. G has applied for a home loan along with his elder brother Mr. F and the
CIBIL score of Mr. G is 720 and CIBIL score of co-borrower Mr. F is 512.
In this case Mr. F cannot be taken as co-borrower and therefore other blood relative
of Mr. G can be taken as co-borrower or the guarantor provided his score is more than
600.
4. What will be the rate of interest if CIBIL score improves or deteriorates in future?
CIBIL score will be considered for fixing the rate of interest at the time of sanction and
subsequent changes in the CIBIL score will not have any impact on the rate of interest.
However customers approaching for new facility such as new loan wherever CIBIL
score based ROI applicable, latest CIBIL score at the time of new sanction will be
considered for charging rate of interest.
A. CIBIL Score

Home loan is the money borrowed from a bank or a housing finance institution on interest for buying
/ constructing / upgrading a residential real estate property.
Generally Home loan sought for buying a house or a flat, construction of new house/ bungalow,
renovation, extension and repairs to existing house. Our banks have a separate policy for those who
are going for a more than second house.
Home Purchase Loan: It is the most common type of loan taken for purchasing a new residential
property or an old house from its previous owner.
Home Improvement Loan: Home improvement loans are given for executing repair and renovation
work at home.
Home Construction Loan: These loans are sanctioned to construct a house on a piece of land you have
already owned. The loan approval and application process for these loans is somewhat different from
the other commonly available home loans.
Home Extension Loan: Home extension loans are offered for expanding or extending an existing
house. To cite a few examples, addition of an extra room, a floor etc.
Land Purchase Plus Construction Loan: This type of loan is granted for the purchase of a plot of land
for residential purpose subject to completion of construction within 3 years.
Takeover/Balance Transfer Loan: These loans are availed to transfer one's home loan from one bank
to another. It is usually done to repay the remaining amount of loan at lower interest rates or when a
customer is unhappy with the services provided by his existing home loan provider and wants to switch
to a different bank.in 3 years.
NRI Home loans: These are specialized loans, structured to suit the requirements of NRI's who wish to
build or buy a home in India.
It is not mandatory to have a co-applicant but having a co-applicant will increase eligibility and chances
of getting the home loan sanctioned. Otherwise as per policy guarantor is needed with matching net
worth. An individual, his/her parents, spouse or even major children can be co-applicant. A co-owner
of your property has to be a co-applicant but a co-applicant need not be a co-owner.
Non Individual organizations like HUF, Trust, a partnership firm, an LLP, and a private limited
company cannot be a co-applicant.
An under construction property is one which is in the process of being built up. A property in
such ‘under construction’ property, will gain possession at a future date.
5. What is an EMI?
Repayment of loan in Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs) comprising both principal and interest.
Repayment by way of EMI starts from the month following the month in which borrower take full
disbursement or moratorium period whichever is earlier. (For understanding how EMI is calculated,
please see below).
Generally offer either of the following loan options: Floating Rate Home Loans and Fixed Rate Home
Loans. For a Fixed Rate Loan, the rate of interest is fixed either for the entire tenure of the loan or a
certain part of the tenure of the loan. In case of a pure fixed loan (Generally not in offerings), the EMI
due to the bank remains constant. Usually Most of the banks having resetting clause after the certain
period.
Hence, the EMI of a fixed rate loan is known in advance. This is the cash outflow that can be planned
for at the outset of the loan. If the inflation and the interest rate in the economy move up over the
years, a fixed EMI is attractively stagnant and is easier to plan for. However, if customer have fixed
EMI, any reduction in interest rates in the market, will not benefit the customer.
The EMI of a floating rate loan changes with changes in market interest rates. If market rates increase,
repayment increases. When rates fall, dues also fall. The floating interest rate is made up of two parts:
the benchmark and the spread. The benchmark is a measure of interest rates generally
(RLLR/MCLR/Base/ BPLR), and the spread is an extra amount that the bank adds to cover credit risk,
profit mark-up etc. The amount of the spread usually constant over the life of the loan. If the
benchmark rate moves up, so does interest rate in most circumstances and have to pay a higher EMI.
Conversely, if the interest rate moves down, EMI amount should be lower.
Also, sometimes banks make some adjustments so that EMI remains constant. In such cases, when
the floating interest rate increase, the tenure of the loan is increased (and EMI kept constant).
Flexibility in EMI:
Some banks also offer their customers flexible repayment options. Here the EMIs are unequal. In step-
up loans, the EMI is low initially and increases as years roll by (balloon repayment). In step-down loans,
EMI is high initially and decreases as years roll by.
Step-up option is convenient for borrowers who are in the beginning of their careers. Step-down loan
option is useful for borrowers who are close to their retirement years and currently make good money.
Borrowers benefit more from a loan that's calculated on a daily reducing basis than on monthly or an
annual basis. In case of daily rest interest is calculated on the outstanding principle balance on the
day, meaning by if any payment is made then immediate effect on principal and interest is visible while
In monthly resets, interest is calculated on the outstanding principal balance for that month. The
principal paid is deducted from the opening principal outstanding balance to arrive at the opening
principal for the next month and interest is computed on the new, reduced principal outstanding. In
case of annual resets, principal paid is adjusted only at the end of the year. Hence, Customers continue
to pay interest on a portion of the principal that has been paid back to the lender.
The interest on home loans is usually calculated either on monthly reducing or yearly reducing or daily
reducing balance by Bank. 'BOM charges interest on daily reducing balance'.
Annual reducing method: In this system, the principal, for which you pay interest, reduces at the end
of the year. Thus, you continue to pay interest on a certain portion of the principal that you have
actually paid back to the lender. This means that the EMI for the monthly reducing system is effectively
less than the annual reducing system.
Monthly reducing method: In this system, the principal, for which you pay interest, reduces every
month as you pay your EMI.
Daily Reducing method: In this system, the principal, for which you pay interest, reduces from the day
you pay your EMI. EMI in the daily reducing system is less than in the monthly reducing system and a
year is treated as consisting of 365 days irrespective of leap or non-leap year.
The longer the tenure of the loan, the lesser will be your monthly EMI outflow. Shorter tenures mean
greater EMI burden, but loan is repaid faster. If customers have a short-term cash flow mismatch,
bank may increase the tenure of the loan, and EMI burden comes down. But longer tenures mean
payment of larger interest towards the loan and make it more expensive.
This is a table that gives details of the periodic principal and interest payments on a loan and the
amount outstanding at any point of time. It also shows the gradual decrease of the loan balance until
it reaches zero.
Sometimes loan is disbursed in installments, depending on the stages of completion of the housing
project. Pending final disbursement, Customer may be required to pay interest only on the portion of
the loan disbursed. This interest called pre-EMI interest. Pre-EMI interest is payable every month from
the date of each disbursement up to the date of commencement of EMI.
However, our banks offer a special facility whereby customers can choose the installments they wish
to pay for under construction properties till the time the property is ready for possession or 18/36
months whichever is earlier. Anything paid over and above the interest by the customer goes towards
Principal repayment. The customer benefits by starting EMI payment earlier and hence repays the
loan faster.
The security for a housing loan is typically a first mortgage of the property, normally by way of deposit
of title deeds. Banks also sometimes ask for other collateral security as may be necessary. Bank also
insist on margin / down payment (borrowers contribution to the creation of an asset) to be maintained
/ made also.
Collateral security assigned to bank could be life insurance policies, the surrender value of which is set
at a certain percentage to the loan amount, guarantees from solvent guarantors, pledge of shares/
securities and investments like KVP/ NSC etc. that are acceptable to bank. Banks would also require
to ensure that the title to the property is free from any encumbrance. (i.e., there should not be any
existing mortgage, loan or litigation, which is likely to affect the title to the property adversely).
Market value is the fair value of the property that propose to mortgage with us as security against the
home loan avail of. This value is based on the prevailing market conditions and trends.
Own contribution is the difference between the total value of the home less the home loan borrowers
have availed. It is in effect what borrower pay from his/her pocket to buy the house.
14. What is the process of disbursement in case of a home loan for purchase of an under
construction property?
When home loan sanctioned to buy real estate in an under construction property, Bank will disburse
payments towards its purchase in installments, based on assessment of the progress of construction,
but not necessarily as per the developer’s agreement. We advise in Bank’s own interest to ensure with
the developer wherein payments are linked to the construction work and not pre-defined on a time-
based schedule.
Bank will assess repayment capacity of the borrower while deciding the home loan eligibility.
Repayment capacity is based on borrower monthly disposable / surplus income, (which in turn is based
on factors such as total monthly income / surplus less monthly expenses) and other factors like
spouse's income, assets, liabilities, stability of income etc. The main concern here is to make sure that
borrowers comfortably repay the loan on time and ensure end use. The higher the monthly disposable
income, higher will be the amount one will be eligible for loan.
The amount of the loan depends on the tenure of the loan and the rate of interest also as these
variables determine monthly outgo / outflow which in turn depends on borrowers disposable income.
16. Whether balance transfer with sanction of Higher Loan Amount & extended Repayment Period
is possible?
Yes. Based on the merits of the case and requirements/ eligibility of the borrower, the Bank may
sanction an amount higher than the amount taken over from other bank/ financial institution for
purposes of renovation/ extension/ furnishings. Similarly extended repayment period may be

There is total transparency with regard to the rate of interest and the fees charged by us.
We offer housing loans with low equated monthly instalments, i.e. substantially less in
repayments as compared to others.
We have no upper limit. The loan amount is determined by repaying capacity and the value
of property to be financed.
We offer loans for the longest tenors (up to 30 years) with the flexibility provided to reduce
the tenor by prepaying the loan without any penalty.
We provide finance for both new and old houses/flats and for construction of houses. Cost of
furnishing the house can also be included in the project cost.
We levy interest based on daily reducing balance, unlike the annual/monthly reducing balance
method used by several other financiers/banks.
20. What are the various documents needed to apply for a home loan?
21. How do Customer get benefit if the interest is calculated on a daily reducing balance for BOM
Home Loans?
On an annual reducing balance method, you will continue to pay interest on amounts you repay during
the coming one year as the interest for the year is determined on the basis of the balance outstanding
at the beginning of the year.
In the case of the daily reducing balance, which is the methodology we employ, your interest is
calculated only on the outstanding loan amount, which reduces every time you pay off your EMIs or
make any prepayments. This in essence lowers your effective rate of interest significantly.
The following processing fees is applicable on Maha Super Home Loans. In addition to the processing
fee, actual charges towards valuation fee, advocates fee for property search and title investigation

down payment.
25. Can customer apply jointly with his/her spouse? Will both our salaries be taken into
consideration for calculating the loan amount?
Yes, salaries can be clubbed for the purpose of calculation of the loan amount. This can be done either
when the property is jointly held with the spouse or the spouse stands as a co-applicant. Thus, we
ensure a great deal of flexibility in the entire exercise of financing house.
26. What is the normal time required for disbursement of a home loan?
On an average, loans are disbursed within 3-10 days after satisfactory and complete documentation
and completion of all the required procedures.
27. Can Customer sell the property even when the home loan is outstanding?
Yes, Customer can sell the property with the prior consent of the financing bank.
If the buyer wants to take a loan to buy the property, the process is much easier if he/she approaches
the same bank. In these cases, the bank does not need to release the property papers to another bank
before getting the payment.
If the buyer wants to make a payment outright, he can make it to the bank directly. The property
papers will be released only after the bank has recovered the entire loan amount and other dues

clear title to the asset.
Get the no encumbrance certificate to find the true title holder and if it is mortgaged to any financier.
Obtain all tax papers to ensure that all documents are up to date.
34. Can customer repay loan ahead of schedule? Is pre-payment of loan allowed?
Yes, we allow to repay the loan ahead of schedule by making lump sum payments. We do not charge
a pre-payment penalty if customer deposit more than EMI payable on a periodic basis.
In order to ensure that customers do not approach other banks for availing reduced interest rates, we
allow customers to switch over from a higher interest loan to a lower interest loan by paying a switch
