\"Housing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe current times Indian women are no longer confined only to the\n\u201cChulha-chauka\u201d thing. Modern culture has made the Nari Shakti financially\nindependent. And so even a woman these days dreams of owning a house of her\nown. Therefore to encourage women empowerment various benefits have been\nintroduced in India. \u201cHousing Loan Benefits\u201d is one such benefit introduced for\nthe women borrowers in India.  A women borrower can enjoy multiple\nbenefits which are as mentioned below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Concessional Rate Of Interest (ROI) – <\/strong>The woman as an applicant or as a co-applicant to the housing loan enjoys a concession in the housing loan interest rates. The rate of interest offered to the woman borrower is 0.10-0.20 paisa lower to the standard interest rate. For example – if the prevailing home loan interest rate in the market is -7.40 %, 7.30%-7.20% will be the interest rate for eligible women borrowers. Also the ROI benefits for women differ from lender to lenders. Some lender banks\/NBFCs also give concessions on the processing fees for women borrowers.\u00a0

The percentage of stamp duty charge varies from state to state. In Maharashtra the stamp duty is charged at 5% for properties above Rs.30lakhs and 1% on the properties below Rs.30lakhs. A woman borrower as the owner or the co-owner of the property will enjoy a concession on the stamp duty percentage.
