Typically, basic information about your Profession, Saving habits, assets, liabilities, details of the employer, dependent family members, property, estimated cost, and your means of financing the same should be declared. You have to submit many documents along with the application as a proof for your claim.
The documents required are as follows:

Employers Details: If you are not working in Government or reputed private company, you need to provide details of your employment. You need to provide brief information about the nature of your employer, business activity, financial status, turnover, profit, major customers, number of employees etc.

The forms, statements submitted by you are the basis for the banker to decide whether you are eligible for home loan or not. Each document would be carefully scrutinized for eligibility.

If you are a Businessmen or a Professional, banker looks out your bank account statement to know the level of business activity. It speaks volumes about your financial health. If you have insufficient or low funds in your bank account most of the times, you may be in trouble. It is always advisable to keep sufficient amount in your bank account.

Be aware that the cheque bounces will prove to be major negative factor in your efforts for securing the loan. One or two instances may be pardoned. Each and every bank will have specific norms as to how many such bounces are acceptable in a period of one year.

Account statement will also reflect your payments to the banker, financial institution. In this case, you will need to provide full details to the Present lender. Never hesitate to submit full details of your existing investments. A Clean Bank Statement with regular savings and investment record will certainly be appreciated by the banker.


Processing fee :

Processing an application is a complicated process and job, which requires expert services. That is the reason, why banks collect processing fee upfront. You need to pay fee while submitting the application itself. Processing fee Varies from bank to bank. It is normally around 0.25% to 0.50% of the total loan amount. For example, if you take 10 lakhs loan, you will have to pay around Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,000 as processing fee. Some banks may charge fixed amount which is ranging from Rs. 5,000 to 10,000. On special occasions, banks usually waive the processing fee.

Some banks may not charge processing fee upfront. But look out; you may need to pay legal charges or administrative fees.

As far as possible, choose best residential properties from reputed builders in Hyderabad. Their properties will normally be approved by the bankers. Bankers offer loans on easier terms and offer discount in processing fee. You may get loans with cheaper rates also.

This process can be compared with written test. If your answer sheet that is application form is found to be satisfactory in all aspects, you may be called for oral interview in the form of personal discussion. Typically banks take anything from 10 days to 30 days to evaluate your application. The aim of the personal discussion is to gather more details about you, which may not be mentioned in the application. So you are required to keep all the relevant documents along with you, while going for personal discussion.

Banks never go blindly. The bank verifies all the information submitted by you including your residential address, place of employment, employer credentials, residential and work telephone numbers. Normally, this verification process will be outsourced to the specialized agencies.

After the legal scrutiny, technical verification and evaluation, the draft documents after legal clearance from the lawyer need to be registered with the Sub Registrar. Registration fee and relevant charges are to be borne by you.

Bank typically finance up to 75-80% of the property value. That means you have to contribute at least 20-25% of the property value from your own funds. In banking parlance, it is called the Margin. Registration charges and the cost for interior decoration may be considered the part of the property value. Before commencing disbursal, you need to submit documents to prove that you have paid the margin money. Many of you may need to withdraw money from Provident fund. It may take a while to receive money from PF Authorities.

Home Loan Sanction or Home Loan Offer Letter contains the following details. Loan amount rate of Interest, type (Whether fixed or floating), if the rate is floating then the reference rate, periodicity of the rate revising, tenure, mode of repayment etc.

Acceptance copy:
If you agree with the details mentioned in the home loan offer letter, you will have to sign a duplicate letter of the same for the bank’s records. Never sign on dotted line without verifying the details like the rate of interest, loan amount on the offer letter is the same that was discussed and mutually agreed upon.

Bank checks thoroughly all the documents submitted by you. This is to validate their authenticity. Even the Agreement of Sale you will be entering into with your seller will also be scrutinized thoroughly. For this scrutiny, every bank will have a panel of legal experts. Scrutiny job will be entrusted to one of the members in the panel. Some banks may have in-house legal experts. Even if you pass the financial acid test, unless you cross this hurdle, loan may not be disbursed. If the document found is clear in all aspects, the lawyer will give a go ahead. Sometimes legal expert may call for additional documents.

You are required to hand over the entire set of original documents pertaining to your property to the bank. Again, if you have chosen a reputed builder’s property, and the property is approved, this may not be necessary, as the banker would already be in possession of the above said documents. Otherwise, you have to submit all the original documents pertaining to the proposed property. Which normally includes documents, link documents related to the land, sanctioned plan, building plan, architect-structural designers certificate, no objection certificate from the concerned authorities etc.

Banks will send an expert to visit the premises you intend to purchase. Normally this job is done by Civil Engineer or an Architect. Some banks may send senior employees to evaluate the property. The main aim of this evaluation process is to ascertain the quality of construction. If the property is under construction, to determine the stage of construction & to verify the same as that mentioned in the payment notice issued to you by the builder. Banker also tries to confirm layout of flats and area of property is in compliance with permissions granted by the concerning local body.

Banks carry out an independent valuation to determine whether purchase is in line with the existing market price of the area where property exists. Valuation is the key yardstick in determining the loan amount that can be sanctioned by the bank. The valuation issue rarely arises when property in Hyderabad is purchased from a reputed builder and the residential apartment is a pre approved one.

You are required to enter in to a tripartite agreement with the builder & banker.

You also need to submit post-dated cheques for the first 36 months, if you agree for this mode of repayment. This agreement will contain a condition binding on the builder to hand over the documents after the registration.

This stage will set for deal or no deal. If the banker is satisfied with your application and credentials, rest assured, you will be getting a home loan to buy residential property in Hyderabad. The banker then issues a Home Loan Sanction Letter. Sanction letter may either be an unconditional one, or may have certain terms and conditions, which you have to fulfill before the loan amount is disbursed.
