A home loan is a type of secured loan that a borrower gets in order to buy a home. When evaluating the eligibility of your home loan, you should also examine its cost. Interest payments, processing fees, administrative costs, prepayment penalties, and other expenses will all be included in the price. If your home loan has an adjustable or floating rate, it should ideally have no prepayment penalties. Additionally, you ought should be able to change the interest rate on your loan to a lesser one for a little cost.

What happens if you default home loan?

According to the HDFC Bank website, “It is best to be regular in paying your EMIs. If the customer misses more than 3 instalments, lenders have the power to take action against default directly without intervention of courts according to the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act, 2002 (SARFAESI Act). In case you are facing financial difficulties, it’s best to apprise your lender about your situation and check the possibility of an extension in the repayment tenure.”

Tax benefits on my housing loan

In accordance with sections 80C, 24(b), and 80EEA of the Income Tax Act of 1961, you will be qualified for tax advantages upon repaying the principle and interest components of your home loan. For the most recent information, please do visit your chartered accountant or tax professional, since the advantages may change annually.
