Frequently Asked Questions — Builder Project Finance

Answers to the most common questions from borrowers across India.

What is the typical construction finance interest rate?

Project finance rates range from 12% to 18% p.a. depending on the project's location, RERA registration, promoter's track record, pre-sales percentage, and the lending institution. Nationalized banks offer the lowest rates for established developers.

What percentage of project cost do banks finance?

Banks typically finance 60-75% of the project cost. The remaining 25-40% must come from the developer's equity, advance bookings, or mezzanine funding. Higher pre-sales (30%+ of units booked) can improve the sanctioned percentage.

Is RERA registration mandatory for project finance?

Yes. All scheduled banks and major NBFCs require RERA registration before disbursing project finance. The project must have approved plans, IOD/CC (Intimation of Disapproval / Commencement Certificate), and clear title documentation.

How is builder project finance disbursed?

Funds are disbursed in tranches linked to construction milestones — foundation, plinth, each floor slab, and finishing stages. The bank's technical team monitors progress and certifies each tranche. This ensures the funds are used for actual construction.

Can a new developer get project finance?

Yes, but with stricter terms. New developers may need higher equity contribution (40-50%), personal guarantees, and may only be eligible for NBFC lending initially. Successfully completing the first project and getting an OC significantly improves future borrowing terms.
