• Interest rate
• Any other charges
• Repayment procedure
• Pre-payments penalty, if any
• Foreclosure charges, if any

How much loan can I get?

Usually all lending institutions decide the amount of loan to be sanctioned based on various factors like

• Net in hand monthly income
• Generally, it is seen that EMI should not be exceeding 50-60% of your in hand income. It also includes any existing EMIs that you have. For example, Mr. Ajay’s net in hand income is Rs. 70,000, then he is eligible to get a loan where EMI does not exceed 35000. But if he is already paying 15000 as EMI on his existing loan, then he is eligible only for an additional EMI of 20,000.

I want to take a higher amount of loan. Can my spouse income be included to meet the eligibility criteria for higher amount?

Yes. In certain cases, if you make your spouse as the co-applicant then your eligibility increases for the higher amount. However, co-applicant should also have a good credit score. In other cases, it would be best to get a separate loan in the name of your spouse.

Do I get tax benefit by availing loans?

Only home loan and education loan comes with a tax benefit. Personal loans, business loans and professional loans are not eligible for any tax benefit.
