About Home Loans

A home loan (housing loan or mortgage) is a secured loan for purchasing, constructing, or renovating a residential property. The property serves as collateral. Home loans offer the lowest interest rates among retail loans (7–10% p.a.) and the longest tenures (up to 30 years), making the monthly EMI manageable. Both salaried and self-employed individuals are eligible. Tax benefits are available under Section 80C (up to ₹1.5L on principal) and Section 24(b) (up to ₹2L on interest) of the Income Tax Act.

EMI Formula

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)ⁿ / ((1 + r)ⁿ − 1)

Where P = Principal, r = Monthly Interest Rate, n = Number of Months

How much down payment is required?

Most lenders require 10–20% down payment. RBI mandates LTV up to 90% for loans ≤ ₹30L, 80% for ₹30–75L, and 75% above ₹75L. A larger down payment reduces your EMI, total interest, and loan-to-value ratio — improving approval chances.

Fixed vs Floating interest rate?

Fixed rates stay constant throughout the tenure offering predictability and protection from rate hikes. Floating rates track the repo rate — they can go down in a falling rate environment but may rise too. For long tenures (15+ years), floating rates are usually preferred as they tend to be lower overall.

What tax benefits are available?

You can claim deduction of up to ₹1.5L per year on principal repayment under Section 80C and up to ₹2L on interest paid under Section 24(b). For first-time buyers, an additional ₹50,000 deduction is available under Section 80EE (subject to conditions), potentially saving ₹1L+ in tax annually.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good home loan interest rate in 2026?
A home loan rate below 8.5% p.a. is considered competitive in 2026. Major banks like SBI, HDFC, ICICI, and Kotak offer rates starting from 7.9–8.5% for borrowers with CIBIL score above 750.
How much home loan can I get on my salary?
Most banks offer home loans of up to 60× your net monthly salary, subject to the FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) not exceeding 50%. For a ₹60,000/month salary, you may qualify for ₹35–45 lakh.
What is the maximum tenure for a home loan?
The maximum tenure is 30 years. However, the loan must be repaid before retirement age (60–65 years). Younger borrowers can avail longer tenures for lower EMIs.
What documents are needed for a home loan?
KYC (Aadhaar, PAN), income proof (salary slips/ITR for 2–3 years), bank statements (6–12 months), property documents (sale agreement, approved building plan, NOC), and Form 16 for salaried employees.
Can I transfer my home loan to another bank?
Yes. Home Loan Balance Transfer (HLBT) allows you to move your outstanding balance to a bank offering a lower rate. This reduces your EMI or tenure. Transfer is most beneficial when done in the early years of the loan when interest component is higher.
What is the MCLR in home loans?
MCLR (Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate) is the benchmark rate used by banks to price floating rate loans. When RBI cuts the repo rate, MCLR-linked loans get cheaper. RLLR (Repo Linked Lending Rate) loans reset faster — typically within 3 months of a repo rate change.
