Can I avail a Loan Against Property for a property that is owned by my relatives and me?Yes, you can. All the co-owners of the property will be considered as co-applicants of the loan.

What is the sanctioning and disbursement process of a Loan Against Property?The process Loan Against Property disbursement is as follows:
Submission of documents – You’ll have to submit a set of documents depending on your loan application documents you’ve handed in.
Sanctioning of Loan – Your credit worthiness is calculated based on your income, age, employer or firm with whom you work, and CIBIL report. If you are self-employed then your nature of work, bank statements, and CIBIL report, and then plans out the maximum loan amount that Bank / NBFC can offer you. You are then issued a Loan Sanction Letter.
Acceptance of Loan – If you agree with the terms and conditions of the loan, you will have to submit a signed duplicate copy of Loan Sanction Letter.
Disbursement of Loan – The loan will be disbursed once all relevant papers of the property have been verified, all pertinent documents have been submitted, and the loan agreement has been executed.

How will my Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) be calculated?Your EMI consists of two parts—paying back the principal amount you borrowed, plus the interest rates charged ‘on’ it. Three factors come into the equation—how much you borrowed, the rate of interest, and the loan tenure. There are ways to bring your EMI down: for one, it drops automatically if there is a decrease in interest rates, or if you pay back more than you need to (called a ‘partial prepayment’).

What is an amortization schedule?An amortization schedule is a table giving the reduction of your loan amount by monthly instalments. The amortization schedule gives the break-up of every EMI towards repayment of interest and the outstanding principal of your loan.

What is negative amortization?When interest rates go up, the interest component of an EMI also goes up. The EMI is kept constant but will result in a lower principal component. If the rates move up continuously, then there might be a situation where the interest Component becomes more than the EMI. In such a situation, principal component (EMI minus interest component) gives a negative figure. Consequently, the outstanding balance, instead of being reduced from the opening principal with the principal component, gets increased with the negative principal component. This is commonly referred to as negative amortization.

A loan where the amortization is negative does not get repaid, since the regular payments are insufficient to cover the interest component. The unpaid interest gets added to the principal and makes it grow. The situation gets reversed only when interest rates start falling. In this situation, the customer has to part-prepay the loan amount, increase the EMI of the loan, or do both.

How does any rate change impact the loan amortization schedule?In case of a loan with a floating interest, the interest component is subject to change. When the rates change, one of the following two changes can be done to a loan:

• The term of the Loan is extended (when rates go up) or contracted (when rates go down)
• The EMI amount is reset (increased in case rates go up & reduced in case rates come down)

As a practice, the term of the loan is extended since the customer might have given post-date cheques and it would be difficult to replace them on every rate change. However, in case of under construction properties, the Pre-EMI amount is increased by default.

You can choose any of the above options according to your convenience. The default option is to change the EMI to match the balance tenure of a loan.

What is proactive downward repricing?The pricing increase happens only in the scenario of an increase in the Cost of Funds. Pro-active repricing policy is being put in place as a proactive measure to ensure that there is no inordinate increase in your loan pricing against new acquisitions and there is always parity for your loan.
