3. Can a lower LTV ratio enhance my home loan eligibility?

Ans. Lower LTV ratio decreases credit risk for lenders; therefore, lenders too prefer approving home loan request of applicants having lower LTV ratios. Hence, opting for a lower LTV ratio can enhance your home loan eligibility. Some banks and HFCs also offer lower home loan interest rates to applicants going for lower LTV ratios. Furthermore, lower LTV ratios translate to lower loan amounts, which when combined with lower interest rates can significantly reduce your overall interest cost.

4. Which are the eligible countries where the NRI must be employed and residing?
Ans. The NRI seeking a home loan must be employed and residing in:

• North America – USA and Canada
• Middle East – UAE (Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi only), Riyadh, Bahrain, Muscat
• East Asian Countries – Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand
• All EU Countries (Except – Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy)
• Australia and New Zealand

5. Can I increase tenure to reduce the EMI of my IIFL Home Loan?
Ans. IIFL Home Finance has not disclosed if its existing home loan borrowers can increase their tenure. However, home loan lenders usually allow their existing borrowers to increase their tenure, provided the final loan tenure does not exceed the maximum loan tenure offered by the lender or the retirement age of the borrower.

Note that extending your loan tenure may adversely affect the borrower’s credit score and thereby, his eligibility to avail loan or credit cards in future. This is because the request for tenure increase is considered as loan restructuring and credit bureaus consider such requests as a negative credit event. This leads credit bureaus to decrease the credit score of borrowers applying for tenure increase. Hence, instead of opting for loan restructuring, home loan borrowers should choose the home loan balance transfer facility. This facility allows them to transfer their outstanding home loans to other banks and HFCs at lower interest rates and thereby, reduce their EMIs. Balance transfer applicants can also choose to opt for a longer loan tenure, if eligible, during the loan transfer process.
