Banks typically offer slightly lower repo-linked rates and are stricter on income proof and property approvals. Housing finance companies are more flexible on property types (older buildings, plots, informal income) at a small premium.

Lenders work out the EMI you can afford, generally 55% to 65% of net income minus existing EMIs, and convert it to a loan amount using the rate and tenure. The lower of that figure and the loan-to-value cap on the property becomes your eligible amount. Adding a co-applicant's income raises it.

Since October 2019, floating-rate retail loans from banks are linked to an external benchmark, usually the RBI repo rate, plus a fixed spread. When the repo rate moves, your rate follows within a quarter. It is more transparent than the older MCLR system, and we compare the spread, not just today's headline.

No prepayment or foreclosure charges apply on floating-rate home loans to individuals, as per RBI directions. Fixed-rate loans may attract charges; we highlight this in every comparison.
