11 Out Of Box Home Loan Tips for Mumbai

  1. What after loan ? Possibly a car or some interiors in your new home. If your answer is yes and if the general Black and White payment process and transactions allow and makes you eligible to pull out some extra couple of lakhs for tenure of 15 to 20 years of home loan, WHY NOT ? The interest rates will be less compared to luxury car loan or compared to personal loan you may pull out after a year or so for your interiors. Think on it, But plan your finance well before.
  2. Do you know, You can avail a top up on your existing home loan (if any) after few years of your primary loan applied ? Yes, you can as the value of the loaned property increases with time and you can avail a hassle free top up on your existing home on current market rates. It’s good in case you looking for another weekend home or any emergency too.
  3. Do not delay the Stamp duty and registration process, as with few months more spent / delayed, the cost of property generally increased and the registration amount, stamp duty and service tax along with the VAT increases too. Don’t wait.
  4. Keep you civil records clean. Transactions like cheque bounces or non payment of any previous loan may bring some disturbance in current loan process. Once you give your PAN card details, all the civil records along with your credit cards usage and payment records are opened which can help or create hassles.
  5. Pre-payment of lumsum amount may help you save interests. As per RBI rules their is no pre-payment charges on payment you do on you existing loan. Entire amount is directly deducted directly from principle amount and your life gets easy.
  6. In hurry if you have fetched loan from some private loan companies on higher rate of interest, Remember a new process of ‘loan transfer’ can help you save few hundred to thousands of rupees every month. Get your loan transferred from high interest to low interest bank / firm like SBI. Why pay more huh ?
  7. Do not do your investments hastily in the financial year you took up your home loan. WHY ? because the stamp duty and registration amount which you payed are considered for tax rebate to save your tax for that particular year along with your monthly EMI, So plan well.
  8. Check twice when it comes to dealing with franchises who may charge 1% to 2% extra under table to get things done. Keep any such dealing for worst case scenario or better don’t fall in trap, as they may be fraud.
  9. Few financial loan givers also do a pre-approved property verification check with minor extra charges, This helps you get confirmed about dealing / buying that property or not. Sanction of loan doesn’t mean any property you selected will be approved for disbursement. This will also help saving you falling in trap some non-reputed builders with fraudulent illegal work and lucrative cheap deals.
  10. Make things clear about PRE-EMI. This is a EMI you pay when you take sanctioned loan in parts as per requested by your selling party / builder, the actual EMI starts later. Try not to get into trap.
  11. Read the loan documents properly. Those stars * and ** are most important to be noted before signing on legal documents.
