Getting a home loan to buy your own house is one of the most important financial decisions in your life. You can get a home loan from two types of lenders in India - the housing finance companies such as LIC Housing Finance Ltd., DHFL, and commercial banks like SBI or HDFC. However, most of the lenders provide 80% of the cost of the property. The remaining 20% needs to be paid as a down-payment by the borrower.

About Home Loan

Home loan is one of the most vital financial decisions of your life. In India, you can avail home loans mainly from two types of lenders: the housing finance companies such as LIC Housing Finance Ltd., DHFL and commercial banks like SBI or HDFC. However, most of the lenders sponsor 80% of the property value as a home loan. The remaining 20% needs to be capitalized as a down-payment from your side. Although most of the NBFC banks can provide funds up to 90% of the property market value, the amount of loan sanctioned totally depends on your eligibility. The best course of action before applying for a home loan is to first calculate the home loan EMI using the home loan EMI calculator at Afinoz.com and then choose the best available options from different lenders.
