"Interest rate varies according to the market conditions and interest rates are dynamic in nature. The interest on home loans in India is usually calculated either on monthly reducing or yearly reducing balance. In some cases, daily reducing basis is also adopted. 1. Annual Reducing: In this system, the principal, for which you pay interest, reduces at the end of the year. Thus you continue to pay interest on a certain portion of the principal which you have actually paid back to the lender. This means EMI for the monthly reducing system is effectively less than the annual reducing system. 2. Monthly Reducing: In this system, the principal, for which you pay interest, reduces every month as you pay your EMI. 3. Daily Reducing: In this system, the principal, for which you pay interest, reduces from the day you pay your EMI. EMI in the daily reducing system is less than the monthly reducing system DHFL calculates EMI on monthly reducing basis only. "

Fixed rate of interest means the rate of interest remains unchanged for the entire duration of the loan. This means you do not benefit even if home loan interest rates drop in the market during the course of your loan.

In this case, the rate of interest fluctuates based on the market lending rate. This means you stand the risk of paying more than you budgeted for in case the lending rate goes up.

Prior to full and final disbursement and commencement of EMI, you pay pre-emi interest on the portion of the loan disbursed to you. Pre-EMI interest is payable every month from the date of each disbursement up to the date of commencement of the EMI.

The expression ‘own sources’ indicates that the proceeds of the prepayment should be from ‘any source other than from a bank/HFC/NBFC and/ or a financial institution’. All other Loans would continue to attract pre-payment penalty upon pre-closure, as per the terms and conditions of the loan agreement which is duly signed and executed by the customer. 3. Commitment Fees: DHFL doesn’t take any commitment fees from consumers, while some Institutes levy a commitment fee in case the loan is not availed of within a stipulated period of time after it is processed and sanctioned. 4. Miscellaneous Costs: DHFL levies a minimal charge of ` 220 only for Standard documentation charges. "

Securities will be asked by DHFL in exceptional cases only.

"Financial institutions assess your loan eligibility and home repayment capability before approving your Home Loan application, which is where your CIBIL score comes into play, serving as a benchmark for banks and NBFCs. CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau Limited), calculates a CIBIL or credit score depending on your credit and debt repayment history. A CIBIL score usually ranges between 300 and 900. If you have a low credit score, it’s highly unlikely that your loan application will be approved. On the other hand, a high score might get you a substantial Home Loan amount. A score above 750 is considered good as it indicates a clean credit history, which means you won’t have trouble repaying your Home Loan on time. However, the closer your score is to 900, the better your chances are of getting a higher Home Loan amount. However, apart from this, you should also bear in mind that each financial institution has their own eligibility criteria. You will need to fit these additional parameters to procure a Home Loan. "
