Having own
home are everybody’s dream and desire. The person spends all his accumulated
wealth and savings for this purpose only. However, the entire savings and
accumulated savings are also not enough to buy a house/home/property, as the
prices of the property are increasing like anything. The person, whose
financial background is strong, can think it is an easy task but for many
people arranging funds for purchasing a home is a tough task. Therefore, banks
have made a product, i.e. home loan, for this
segment of people, to satisfy their desire of having own home.
The home
loans gain immense demand among the consumers within a short period of time.
Currently, most of the home seekers avail this loan for having their own home.
The loan justifies its name. It is found out that billions of transactions are
made for home loan through financial institutions; housing finance companies,
NBFCs and financial institutions and the number of the amount are increasing every
day. The person can avail home loan, in two forms: fixed rate
home loan and floating rate home loan.
Fixed rate
Home Loan
The fixed
interest rate means that the interest rate will not change if there is any
change in the market rates. In the market, whether interest rate goes up or
down, it does not affect the fixed interest rate. The customer pays same EMI
throughout the loan tenure, but in reality, the banks give clause that the bank
can revise the interest rate after a certain time period, usually it is 3
years. The customer benefitted if the interest rate goes up in this case.
Variable
rate Home Loan
The
floating interest rate or variable interest rate is that interest rate that
changes if there is any change in the market interest rate. The person is benefitted if the interest rate
goes down in this case, as the interest rate of the loan will also come down.
Even banks do not charge prepayment charges on floating rate home loan.
The home
loan is made up in such a way; that person can easily afford its total cost and
interest rate. The growing demand and
competition among the lenders has compelled the financial institutions to
provide this facility online, so that more and more customers apply home loan
through their bank or institution. It helps the customer, as the process of
loan is little faster through online mode.
