PNB Housing offers a floating rate of interest on its loans against property. It refers to the PNBHFR, its benchmark rate for determining the individual interest rates. The reference rate today is 9.70%. PNB Housing adds its spread over the PNBHFR before offering the rate to the individuals. 

How does PNB Housing calculate the interest on the individual loans against the property?

image

PNB Housing calculates interest on the monthly reducing balance. It is similar to how most of the NBFCs do. Banks, on the other hand, use the daily reducing balance mode that is beneficial to the borrower.

What is the maximum eligibility for an individual borrower in the Loan Against Property product?

image

Subject to the satisfaction of income and repayment norms, the maximum eligibility under the Loan Against Property is 60% of the property value. PNB Housing Finance has valuation experts in its panel who estimate the realisable market value of the property. The loan amount cannot exceed 60% of this value under any circumstances.

How does PNB Housing arrive at the loan amount in the case of Lease Rental Discounting product?

image

The rental income earned by letting out the property is the primary criterion for estimating loan eligibility. The eligibility depends on the rent receivables for the residual period of the lease.

  • The maximum residual period should not exceed ten years
  • The maximum loan amount is 80% of the rent receivable amount
  • The LTV ratio should not be more than 60%
  • The EMI amount should not exceed the rental income for the month

All of these factors play a vital role in determining individual loan eligibility.

Who can be an eligible co-applicant for the Loan Against Property?

image

If the property is jointly owned, all the co-owners of the property automatically become co-applicants. It does not matter if any of the co-applicants have any source of income or not. Other than the co-owners, the following persons can join as co-applicants for enhancing the overall eligibility of the borrowers.

  • Spouse
  • Parents and children (subject to satisfying age norms)
  • Siblings

Under such circumstances, these co-applicants can provide their income details to enhance the overall loan eligibility.

What is the security for the Loan Against Property and the facility of lease rental discounting?

image

The borrower has to create an equitable mortgage of the property for both the facilities. Besides, the Lease Rental Discounting facility requires the borrowers to assign their rental income in favour of PNB Housing.

How does PNB Housing ensure the recovery of the EMI from the rental income of the borrower?

image

Such a situation can arise in the Lease Rental Discounting product. PNB stipulates the condition of the opening of an Escrow Account for collecting the proceeds of the rental income. The lessee has to undertake to deposit the rent into this Escrow account. PNB Housing recovers its EMI from this account before making the balance available to the borrower.

Are there any specific restrictions on the usage of funds obtained through a Loan Against Property?

image

The objective of a Loan Against Property is to meet personal and business requirements. However, the borrower should undertake not to use the funds for illegal and speculative purposes.

How do you classify a purpose as a speculative purpose?

image

If any investment promises to deliver an abnormally high return, and that too within a short period, it is a risky proposition. Such an investment qualifies as a speculative investment.

What are some examples of speculative investment?

image

Some of the examples of speculative investment are:

  • Investing in the share market when there is extreme volatility
  • Indulging in gambling, races, and other illegitimate activities
  • Purchasing lottery tickets
