What is Home Loan Eligibility

Your home loan eligibility determines whether you qualify for borrowing a home loan or not. Your lending bank conducts this mandatory housing loan eligibility check when you apply for a home loan. Based on your documentation, credit score and financial history the lending bank is able to analyse your financial status, creditworthiness and repayment capacity. A favourable impression that you leave on the lender increases your chances of getting a home loan. That’s why, before applying for a home loan it is important that you understand the eligibility criteria and make sure you fit the bill.

Factors Affecting Housing Loan Eligibility

These factors affect your housing loan eligibility:

  • Your Monthly income: Your monthly income is one of the most important aspects of a home loan application process. It helps lenders decide the total amount of loan that you can afford. A person with a low income will be eligible for a lower loan amount and vice versa.
  • Your Current Age: Next important factor that affects your home loan eligibility is your current age. If you are young, then you can opt for a long loan tenure. Since tenure is long your interest rate will be low, which, in turn, will lower your EMI.
  • Credit History: A good credit history indicates that you are sincere in paying your dues and that you have a solid financial state. A good credit history leaves a positive impact on the lenders, which increases your chances of getting a home loan.
  • Existing Loan Obligations: It is to keep in mind that if you have any existing loan obligations, it can impact your housing loan eligibility. These are considered as regular monthly expenses that can affect your loan repayment ability.
  • Regulatory Requirements: The National Housing Bank (NHB) has set a limit that decides the maximum loan amount that can be disbursed. This depends on the cost of the residence. The high-priced homes in the market may have lower maximum limit while the lower-priced homes may have a higer maximum limit.
