Housing loans are offered to NRIs by leading financial institutions and commercial banks in India like Citibank, ABN AMRO, and SBI, to name just a few.
As an NRI you can opt for the government supported ‘Griha Shobha’ scheme as well. Remember that an NRI can avail of a loan of up to Rs.1 crore or an amount of up to 85% of the cost of the property. The rate of interest varies from 11.25% to 14.25% per annum (rates subject to change). Almost all banks and financial institutions charge a processing fee, which is payable once and will amount to approximately 1% to 2% of the loan amount applied for.
The eligibility of the amount of loan disbursed will depend upon the individual’s repayment capacity. The calculation of repayment capacity is made based on factors such as monthly and annual income, source of income, savings and credit history, work experience, age, qualifications, number of dependants, other sources of income including spouse’s income, and assets and liabilities. Further, the probability of the individual continuing in the same occupation or his /her interest in alternate employment prospects when he/she comes back to India is assessed.
The typical duration for repayment of the loan is three to ten years. The repayments are usually made in Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs), which are a combination of the principal and interest amounts. EMIs get deducted from the month following the month in which the loan gets disbursed and can be made through post-dated checks from the NRE/NRNR account held by the NRI in India. The list of documents needed to process this application is a long one.
