What is a Home Loan?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Home loan is a type of loan which lets you buy, build or renovate a property without paying full price now. You have to repay in monthly EMIs and once you have repaid\u00a0fully, the property is entirely yours. The interest rates are lower than an unsecured loan because your home is taken as the collateral, making home loans one of the most cost efficient ways to build wealth in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference between Home Loan for Salaried and Self-employed <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Lenders view salaried applicants as lower risk, providing easier approval, while self-employed individuals  are seen as higher risk due to variable income, which can result in slightly higher interest rates.                                                                                               <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The document requirement for Salaried applicants is minimal such as salary slips and Form 16 meanwhile self-employed individuals must provide detailed, consistent bank statements, income tax returns, and balance sheets for at least 3 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Salaried individuals usually have higher loan eligibility due to consistency in their income, whereas self-employed professionals’ loan amounts have a complex determination process  (by net profit and depreciation added back etc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Due to the risk assessment differences, the interest rate offering is fluctuated (multiple tiers) for self-employed individuals compared to salaried professionals.\u00a0Because documentation verification is more intense for self-employed applicants, their loan approval process can be slower than that of salaried applicants\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
