Whether it is a ready-to-move apartment or a villa on the city's outskirts, everyone dreams of having their own abode where they can spend quality time with others. The past few years have witnessed increased demand for high-end properties. From luxurious sea-facing apartments in high rises to quaint villas, there are now many options.

But the main problem arises at the time of purchasing the property. Apartments are costly, and buying one’s dream house can sometimes become challenging. That is why the buyer needs to plan for the future or settle for a property that is nowhere near their liking. This is where the concept of home loans comes into play. Thanks to this credit option, it is now possible for everyone to acquire the house they have envisioned living in.

Eligibility Criteria For A Home Loan Of A Salaried Person

The applicants must understand the eligibility criteria before checking the property documents required for home loan. If one of the requirements has been missed, it will be difficult to apply for the credit. So, here are the common eligibility criteria for home loans.

  1. The person needs to be a minimum of 18 years old and maximum of 60 years old.
  2. Banks or lending companies may set a minimum net income. For example, if the person resides in a metro city, the minimum monthly income should be INR 20,000. On the other hand, if the current residence is in any other city, the minimum salary can be a little less.
  3. There are certain educational qualifications. For example, graduation may be the minimum qualification required for the home loan if the employment is with any partnership firm or private limited company.
  4. Salaried employees should have a minimum work experience of one year overall. They should have spent around six months in their current company.

Is It Worth Taking A Home Loan For A Salaried Employee?

Often people wonder if there is any advantage to taking home loans when they have to pay a high housing loan interest later on. However, nowadays, there are a lot of relaxations on home loans. So, buyers need not bear high EMIs year after year.

Here Are Some Advantages Of Taking A Home Loan:

  1. First and foremost, according to section 80C of the Indian Income Tax Act, buyers will get tax exemptions on home loans. The maximum deduction one can claim under this section for one financial year is INR 1.5 lakhs. However, remember that the deductions can only be claimed if the house is completed.
  2. One of the major benefits of taking a floating rate home loan is the absence of prepayment penalty charges. Therefore, whenever one has extra savings in hand after receiving salary, they can use that cash to pay off a certain amount of the home loan principal to reduce their burden.
  3. The home loan can be transferred to another lender who offers a lower interest rate than the current lender.
  4. This is an almost instantaneous credit one can get to buy their dream house. No restriction is levied on the type of house that one wants to buy or the location.
  5. As the prepayment term is quite high, almost up to 30 years, one can reduce their EMI amount that needs to be paid per month. Salaried employees can submit documents for further extensions and reduce the monthly debt they have to pay.

Conclusion

Getting a home loan is no rocket science, but it is necessary to submit all the correct documents on time to prevent any disapproval of the application. Salaried people don't have to submit many documents concerning their income and its validity. However, it is necessary to ensure that the credit score is healthy and the property documents are correct. Rest assured, the loan for one’s dream house will be accepted, and the credit will also be available sooner than expected.
