How to decide home loan amount you should take

May 6th, 2010 by
  • Satish Rawat(Age 33) is working with a MNC in Mumbai. His net take home salary is Rs. 1,00,000/- per month. He wants to buy a home of worth 60 lacs. He wants to take a home loan for as much loan amount as possible. He has a saving of Rs. 11 lacs only.

    Analysis

    EMI Eligibility – Table 1

    % eligibility of your net take home salary Max EMI Eligibility
    HDFC 60% – 65% Rs. 65000/-
    IDBI 65% – 70% Rs. 70000/-
    Axis bank 60% – 65% Rs. 65000/-
    ING Vysya 55% – 60% Rs. 60000/-

    Loan Amount Eligibility as per Satish’s salary – Table 2

    Interest Rate 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years
    HDFC
    (Fixed for 2 years)
    8.25% 53 lacs 67 lacs 76 lacs
    IDBI
    (Fixed for 2 years)
    8.25% 57 lacs 72 lacs 82 lacs
    Axis Bank 14% 42 lacs 49 lacs 52 lacs
    ING Vysya
    (Fixed for 2 years)
    8.25% 49 lacs 62 lacs 70 lacs

    Pre-payment charges – Table 3

    HDFC 1.5% for all cases (self, Refinance)
    IDBI 0% (self finance), 2% (Refinance)
    Axis 0% for all cases
    ING Vysya 0% (self finance), 2% (Refinance)

    Loan to Value ratio is 85% for all the banks, thereby 15% of the total property value has to be paid by the customer.

    Rupeetalk’s Recommendation

    Total Cost of Property 60 lacs
    Maximum Loan he can avail (85% of total property value) 51 lacs

    EMI Calculation basis 51 lacs of home loan – Table 4

    Interest Rate EMI
    (10 Years)
    EMI
    (15 Years)
    EMI
    (20 Years)
    HDFC 8.25% Rs. 62553/- Rs. 49477/- Rs. 43455/-
    IDBI 8.25% Rs. 62553/- Rs. 49477/- Rs. 43455/-
    Axis Bank 14% *Not Eligible *Not Eligible Rs. 63420/-
    ING Vysya 8.25% *Not Eligible Rs. 49477/- Rs. 43455/-

    * Refer table 2, which explains that Satish is not eligible for 51 lacs of home loan from those banks.
    Since Satish can afford an EMI of Rs. 62553/- easily, so we recommend satish to take a home loan for 51 lacs for 10 years from or IDBI Bank because of

    1. Lower term loans will clear off soon
    2. Lower fixed cum floating interest rate is being offered by the bank
    3. Pre-payment charge for IDBI is lower in case of self- finance.
    4. Processing fee is same for all these banks at around 0.5% negotiable

    we never get to know our exact eligibility and hence pay extra amt to banks for that. even after giving complete set of docs to ICICI , i did not get my eligibility…they returned back my documents . same with ING ( they even deducted processing fee also). totaly confused i stoped dreaming of buying a house. i think this article help…but i want my exact eligibility…how?? Kindly mail me any detailed spreadsheet , you have for the same.

    the above case study looks abstract. 62% of salary can never be considered by any bank for EMI calculation. max to max 45% is considered fr loan eligibility.

    dear pushkar – 1) try negotiating with banks on CIBIL report on your credit worthiness. i have not yet done this, but i intend to do so, and i in process of getting my report. 2) in all possibilities, buying a home on loan is not at all a bad idea, unless you are not taking 70%+ loan.

    i am sure you must have done your mathematics, also.
