What Security Do I need to Provide for availing Home Loan?

Generally, the Security of the loan will be the security on the property being financed by us. However, It is very critical for you to ensure that the title to the property is clear, marketable and free from any encumbrance. You have to ensure that there should not be any existing mortgage, loan or litigation on the property being financed by us, which is likely to adversely affect the title to the property.

Is it compulsory to insure the property?

Yes. You will have to ensure that your property is properly insured for fire and other allied perils for an amount equal to the cost of the property during the pendency of the loan. The policy has to be assigned in favour of Nivara Home Finance Ltd. and you are also required to provide evidence to that extent each year.

What do EMI and Pre-EMI Interest mean?

EMI’Equated Monthly Instalment is commonly referred as EMI’ which is a fixed monthly amount in the form of instalment made by you to us at a specified date each calendar month. EMIs are used to pay off both interest and principal each month, so that over a specified number of years, the loan is paid off in full.

Pre-EMI interest:Where you have availed only a part of the approved loan amount ie pending final disbursement, you pay interest on the portion of the loan disbursed. This interest is called pre-EMI interest. Pre-EMI interest is payable every month from the date of each disbursement up to the date of commencement of EMI.

What is a ‘fixed’ or ‘floating’ rate of interest?

Fixed Rate of interest means the rate of interest on the loan sanctioned remains unchanged for the entire duration of the loan.

Floating Rate of Interest is based on the market conditions and Nivara would periodically adjust the rate accordingly. This means you may end up paying more/less than you budgeted for, in case the lending rate goes up/down.

What are the tax benefits of having a home loan?

You are entitled for tax benefits both on the principal and interest components of your Home loan under Section 24 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. As the benefits could vary each year, we would urge you to check with our officials about the tax benefits applicable at the time of availing your home loan.

Can I repay my home loan ahead of contracted tenure?

Yes, one can repay the loan ahead of schedule by making lump sum payments towards part or full prepayment, subject to the prepayment charges applicable from time to time.
