Bank of Baroda Home Loan Eligibility- Based on Age

Since a housing loan is a long duration loan, the age of the borrower is a significant factor deciding the loan eligibility. A person with lower age has more number of working years for loan repayment. Hence, a person with a lower age is eligible for loans of the higher amount or longer tenure loans when compared to one with higher age. Your age plays a major role in determining your eligibility and repayment capacity for Home Loan.

At Bank of Baroda, the minimum age of an applicant should be 21 years of age at the time of loan commencement. The maximum tenure of a housing loan at Bank of Baroda is 30 years. However, for getting 30-year loan duration, the borrower's age at the time of loan commencement should not be more than 30-40 years in case of both salaried self-employed borrower's because the maximum age at loan maturity must not exceed 70 years.

Bank of Baroda Home Loan Eligibility- Based on Income

Your income is the most important determinant of the loan amount that you are eligible for. Higher the monthly income, higher is the loan amount sanctioned. However, one must note that only your net take-home salary (after deduction of PF, ESI, Tax, and other such deductions) is considered as your net monthly income. Gross salary is not considered for eligibility computations.

Your net monthly income determines your Home Loan servicing capacity. For example, if your net take-home salary is Rs 25,000 and the value of the property you wish to buy is Rs 40 Lakhs, then at an interest rate of 8.40%, which is currently offered by Bank of Baroda. The loan amount eligibility would be Rs 25.93 Lakhs to Rs 41.31 Lakhs depending on your age.

In this calculation, we assume that the applicant does not have any running equated monthly instalment (EMI). Now, if your monthly net salary is Rs 75,000, you might get eligible for a loan amount of Rs 51.86 Lakhs to Rs 82.62 Lakhs for same property at same rate depending on your age at the time of loan application.

Bank of Baroda Home Loan Eligibility: Based on Value of Property

Value of property: Value of the house or property that an applicant wants to buy determines their home eligibility as well. Bank of Baroda does not finance loan for the entire value of the property. The loan offered divided by the value of the property is called Loan-to-Value (LTV). Bank of Baroda provides Home Loan up to 90% LTV. The borrowers have to fund the remaining 10% on their own.

Co-applicant: Adding a co-applicant helps you to increase your eligibility for Home Loan as adding a co-applicant means additional repayment capacity. However, the co-borrower should have a regular income, low obligation, and a clean CIBIL record.

Property documents: Your property should have all relevant approvals and legal documents should be cleared by the bank's legal team.

Bank of Baroda Home Loan Eligibility: Based on CIBIL Score

CIBIL stands for Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited that records all your payment details pertaining to any loans and credit cards. Based on your past history of borrowing, CIBIL maintains a credit score. A person who has a record of repaying all loans and Credit Card payments on time and in full has a better CIBIL score as compared to ones who have defaulted. Thus, the CIBIL score enables a bank to understand the credit behaviour of a borrower. While checking eligibility for your Home Loan, Bank of Baroda checks not only the CIBIL score but orders a full CIBIL report that gives complete track record of your payment history pertaining to loans. If you have a higher credit score, the chances of you getting a higher loan amount increases. However, low CIBIL score will decrease your eligibility to get a Home Loan. At Bank of Baroda, the minimum CIBIL score required to get a Home Loan is 650.

Few factors that affect your credit score:

  • Late payments: In case of any defaults or failure to make full payment on time for your existing or past loans, your CIBIL score is impacted negatively and your chances of getting a higher loan amount eligibility reduces.
  • A high number of unsecured loans: Bank of Baroda prefers clients who maintain a balance between secured and unsecured loans. A higher number of unsecured loans can negatively affect your CIBIL score.
  • Usage of credit limit: The manner in which you handle Credit Cards or Personal Loans reflects your financial discipline. In case you frequently use the entire credit limit on your card or loans, it means that there is a case of potential financial stress and financial indiscipline on your part. Hence, that may reduce your CIBIL score.
  • Multiple loan applications: In case you apply for Home Loan at multiple banks simultaneously, it can affect your score negatively and reduce your CIBIL score.

Bank of Baroda Home Loan Eligibility Based on FOIR

FOIR stands for Fixed Obligations to Income Ratio. Calculation of the FOIR allows a bank to determine what proportion of income is currently being used up for monthly obligations. Fixed monthly obligations include rent, existing EMIs, and other such expenses. To get approval for a Bank of Baroda Home Loan, the FOIR of an applicant has to be 0.65.
