Frequently Asked Questions — Home Loan

Answers to the most common questions from borrowers across India.

What is the lowest home loan interest rate in India in 2026?

As of 2026, indicative home loan rates start at 7.15% p.a. from select public and private sector banks. Rates vary by loan amount, profile, and property location. Available lender information can help compare options, while pricing and approval remain lender-controlled.

How much home loan am I eligible for?

Banks typically offer 60x to 72x your monthly income as the maximum home loan amount. For self-employed individuals, it is 4-6x annual net income shown in ITR. Factors like existing EMIs, CIBIL score, age, and employer category also influence eligibility.

Is fixed or floating rate better for a home loan?

Floating rate home loans are 0.5-1.5% cheaper and recommended in a falling rate environment. Fixed rate loans (truly fixed for 2-5 years) suit those who want predictable EMIs. Most Indian banks offer floating rates linked to the RBI repo rate via their EBLR or RLLR benchmarks.

Can I get a home loan with a CIBIL score of 650?

While most banks prefer a CIBIL score of 700+, some NBFCs and cooperative banks may consider scores around 650 with higher interest rates and stricter terms. Available lender information may help identify options, but each lender controls its credit criteria and decision.

What are the tax benefits on a home loan?

Under Section 24(b) you can claim up to Rs 2 Lakhs per year on interest paid. Under Section 80C, up to Rs 1.5 Lakhs on principal repayment. First-time buyers get an additional Rs 1.5 Lakhs under Section 80EEA (subject to conditions). Joint loan applicants can each claim these deductions.
