\u201cChottaSa Ghar Hoga——Chhao Mein\u2026.\u201d old melody from\n(Naukari 1954), silver lines the dream of every human being to own a house of\nhis own. Though today the time and generation may have changed but what remains\nstill common is the silver lining dream of every human being to purchase a\nhouse of his own. There are enough options for people when it comes to\npurchasing a house. They may either go for a resale property or a ready to move\nbuilder property or can opt for an under-construction property. Depending upon\nthe needs, requirements and specifications one may choose among their priority\nfor the type of home. Under construction houses these days are gaining\nmore importance since the government launched schemes of affordable housing\n2013 for the people. However, affordable houses will become more affordable if\nyou make the right decision to choose the right lender for financing your house\ni.e. applying for a housing loan for under construction property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home loan on under-construction property<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In under-construction property home loans the builder is\nthe direct beneficiary of the home loan amount sanctioned by the lender\nBank \/ NBFC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is often argued that an under construction project has\nenough space for appreciation in the price once the project is completed.\nPeople therefore tend to invest in an under-construction property over the\nintention of profitability. Additionally what blinds the buyer is the various\ngimmick schemes adopted by the builder, such as \u201cBook now pay later\u201d, \u201cNo EMI\ntill possession\u201d, \u201cBook your house @ just 8% rate of interest\u201d, etc. In financial\nterms these schemes are referred as subvention schemes. Under such schemes the\nbuilder or the developer of the project is liable to pay the \u201cinterest\u201d on the\nprincipal loan amount to the lender Bank\/NBFC until the property buyer receives\nthe possession of his property. The scheme looks highly convenient for the\nbuyers as they do not have to pay inflated EMIs on the home loan while already\npaying the rentals. It saves the pre-EMI interest cost of the buyer. Though the\nscheme looked lucrative for the property buyers it faced a major drawback as\nmany builders failed to pay the interest to the Banks\/NBFCs and therefore the\nsubvention scheme got banned by RBI on 3rd September 2013. However later the\nschemes were re-launched with a slight twist of payment being linked to\nconstruction linked plans while still retaining its basic nature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction linked plans (of the builder) means paying\nthe builder at every stage of the construction. It is currently the most\npopular payment plan for purchasing the property. When a home loan is taken for\npurchasing an under construction property with construction linked plans, the\nbuyer has to pay only the interest component to the lender Bank\/NBFC on the\npartial disbursed amount which is referred \u201cPRE-EMI Interest\u201d in the loan\nindustry. Although this EMI may reduce the buyer’s financial burden but\nremember any delay in construction only means paying more interest. Secondly,\nit may be a sigh of relief for property investors looking only for making\nproperty investment (as they are paying less EMI for under-construction\nproperty) but for those buyers who are buying the property for self-occupation,\npaying rent and simultaneously paying the Pre-EMI till possession, increases\nnothing but the cost of their property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular form of subvention schemes is 5:95, 10:90\nand 20:80. However builder\u2019s subvention schemes are mostly with those lender\nBanks\/NBFCS that funds his project. The major benefit of this scheme is the\nmaximum funding for the buyer, which means that the buyer as the loan applicant\nwill get the maximum 95% loan in case of 5:95 schemes, 90% loan in 10.90\nschemes and 80% loan in 20.80 schemes. At times few subvention schemes along\nwith the benefit of maximum funding also come with the clause of minimum lock-in\nperiod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are namely two names that always emerge in the home\nloan industry when it comes to home loan on under-construction property: State\nBank of India (SBI) and the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). Both come up with\ntailored home loan products for under-construction houses. SBI\u2019s RBFBG\n(Residential Builder Finance with Buyer Guarantee) scheme guarantees the\nprincipal refund of the loan amount to the loan borrower if a developer fails\nto complete the project (The scheme is currently available only in the cities\nof Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), National Capital Region (NCR), Hyderabad,\nBengaluru, Pune, Kolkata, and Chennai.) and LIC\u2019s LICHF (LIC Housing Finance)\n\u2018Pay When You Stay\u2019 scheme lends only for projects which are either approved or\nfunded by them. As per this scheme the loan borrower will not pay the principal\ncomponent of the home loan to LIC up-to 48 months when he buys an\nunder-construction house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piece of advice for loan seekers on\nunder-construction property<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before applying for a home loan every buyer must factor in\nthe cost, the quality, the location & the accessibility of the builder\u2019s\nproject and most importantly the builder’s reputation. The loan approval and\nthe home loan interest rates largely depend on these factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Check if the project is among the approved list of the Bank\/NBFC that you wish to apply for. It helps in the faster processing of the loan process. Secondly buying a property in banks approved projects signifies that the particular project has a clear marketable title. Therefore always look for the projects which have\u00a0APF from maximum banks or from the top banks.\u00a0
    <\/li>
  2. Make a fair deal. Negotiate with the builder because the price quoted by builders is never a final deal. There is always a room for negotiation. The more the inflated prices of the builder the higher will be the property cost which means you will be applying for a higher loan amount and land-up paying higher EMI\u2019s on that increased loan amount. Many times\u00a0builders keep increasing rates at regular intervals to show artificial and inflated appreciation even if \u201cNo Sale\u201d is happening. Do not let this builder\u2019s gimmick influence you, always remember it is the market forces i.e. the demand & supply decides the prices of the properties. Therefore ensure that you know the market trends in and around that area, the price quotations of the nearby projects, etc. to be not fooled by the inflated prices of the builders.
    <\/li>
  3. Do not rely on the glossy brochures and the sugary words of the
    builder. At times the promised property at the time of booking may appear different on possession. Therefore ensure you park your money with the trustable builders. Banks have categorized builders into A, B & C. The best the builder\u2019s category the higher are your chances for getting maximum funding, securing low interest rates & processing charges.\u00a0
    <\/li>
  4. At times builders may make some changes such as layout or in property space, which might not adhere legally with the approvals received for the project. Under such circumstances banks may not disburse your loan even if your loan is approved or sanctioned.
    <\/li>
  5. Choose your lender wisely. With the recent failures of the few NBFCs such as DHFL, Indiabulls, etc. who were most preferred b the borrowers for higher funding paid higher home loan interest rates and apparently got stuck up later with the higher interest rates mainly because: a) under-construction projects cannot be transferred until you receive the possession of the property. Possession letter is a must for the home loan balance transfers. b) Loan Balance transfers from the failed NBFCs namely DHFL and Indiabulls are not undertaken by the rest lenders providing housing loans.\u00a0
    <\/li>
  6. Before you finalize any property, the following are the things you must check with the builder to avoid future confronts:
    (a) The builder has all the necessary approvals along with the documents.
    (b) The builder is a registered builder. Check if he is registered with the concerned authorities.\u00a0
    (c) The builder has a convenient payment plan.\u00a0
    (d) Importantly the builder has the CC i.e. commencement certificate. CC means the builder is not involved in any legal hassle and can continue with the construction work and it prevents the risks of frauds.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
    The lender Banks\/NBFCs might not fund you if they find any deviations from approved plans, disputes between landowners and builders, disputes on the Land Title, and lack of approvals from govt. authorities, etc. It is therefore required that you hire a competent property lawyer before investing in any under construction property and seek his guidance for the property title search.
    <\/li>
  7. There is no tax benefit available for under-construction property. You can claim the income tax benefits once you get the possession of the property. The interest paid during the pre-construction phase can be availed for deduction in the five equal instalments while there is no tax benefit available on the principal repaid.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
