    INDIAN BANKING

    The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of the country. Central banks are a

    relatively recent innovation and most central banks, as we know them today, were establishedaround the early twentieth century.

    The Reserve Bank of India was set up on the basis of the recommendations of the Hilton

    Young Commission. The Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (II of 1934) provides the statutory

    basis of the functioning of the Bank, which commenced operations on April 1, 1935.

    The Bank began its operations by taking over from the Government the functions so far

    being performed by the Controller of Currency and from the Imperial Bank of India, themanagement of Government accounts and public debt. The existing currency offices at Calcutta,

    Bombay, Madras, Rangoon, Karachi, Lahore and Cawnpore (Kanpur) became branches of the

    Issue Department. Offices of the Banking Department were established in Calcutta, Bombay,

    Madras, Delhi and Rangoon. Burma (Myanmar) seceded from the Indian Union in 1937 but the

    Reserve Bank continued to act as the Central Bank for Burma till Japanese Occupation of Burma

    and later up to April, 1947.

    After the partition of India, the Reserve Bank served as the central bank of Pakistan up to

    June 1948 when the State Bank of Pakistan commenced operations. The Bank, which was

    originally set up as a shareholder's bank, was nationalized in 1949.

    An interesting feature of the Reserve Bank of India was that at its very inception, the

    Bank was seen as playing a special role in the context of development, especially Agriculture.

    When India commenced its plan endeavors, the development role of the Bank came into focus,

    especially in the sixties when the Reserve Bank, in many ways, pioneered the concept and

    practice of using finance to catalyze development. The Bank was also instrumental in

    institutional development and helped set up institutions like the Deposit Insurance and Credit

    Guarantee Corporation of India, the Unit Trust of India, the Industrial Development Bank of

    India, the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Discount and Finance

    House of India etc. to build the financial infrastructure of the country with liberalization, the

    Bank's focus has shifted back to core central banking functions like Monetary Policy, Bank

    Supervision and Regulation, and Overseeing the Payments System and onto developing the

    financial markets.

    COMMERCIAL BANK

    Amongst the banking institutions in the organized sector, the commercial banks are the

    oldest institutions having a wide network of branches, commanding utmost public confidence

    and having the lion shares in the total banking operations. Initially they were established as

    corporate bodies with share holdings by private individuals, but subsequently there has been a

    drift towards central ownership and control.

    Up to late sixties commercial banks were mainly engaged in financing organized trade,

    commerce and industry, but since then they are actively participating in financing agriculture,

    small business and small borrowers also.

    PROGRESS OF COMMERCIAL BANKING IN INDIA

    Banking in India on western lines had started from the beginning of 19th century. The

    first joint stock was established at Calcutta by the name of Hindustan and was under European

    management. But this bank failed at that time, the bank of Bengal (1806), bank of Bombay

    (1840) and bank of madras (1843) were started with the financial participation of the

    government. These banks were called as the presidency banks and were given the right of note

    issue in their respective regions. The first purely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh

    commercial bank which came into existence in 1889. The swadeshi movement of 1905 gave

    great stipules to the starting of the Indian Banks. The Indian banking system had gone through a

    series of crisis and consequent bank failures. Its growth was quite slow during the first half of

    this century. But after independence, the Indian banking system recorded rapid progress. This

    was due to planned economic growth, increase in money supply, growth of banking habit,

    control and guidance by the Reserve Bank and the nationalization of top banks etc. The

    nationalization of 10 top Banks in July 1969 gave banking a sense of direction and purpose. In

    1980, there was another nationalization of six smaller banks.

    loan. Home loans help such persons in making their dream home.

    OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY:

    1.3 CREDIT APPRAISAL OF HOME LOANS :-

    Every bank has its own procedure to disburse the loan amount among customers. After

    choosing your right home, the next step is Credit appraisal of home loans. The loan amount is

    disbursed after identifying and selecting the property or home that are purchased and submit the

    requisite legal documents. In the Credit appraisal of home loans a clear title and full verification

    to ensure that a person has full rights on his house. The 230A clearance of seller and /or 371

    clearances from the appropriate authority of income tax is also needed.

    (I) Eligibility criteria:-

    However, if one is a resident or non-resident individual who is planning to buy a house in

    India, one can apply for a home loan. If a person has decided to buy a property in the near future,

    he/she can apply for a loan before even selecting the property. Once the maximum amount to put

    into the property has been decided, the Housing Finance Institutions or Banks will let the

    customer know that how much he/she is eligible for and this helps to plan out the budget.

    (ii) Conditions regarding co-applicants: -

    All Housing Finance Institutions lay down conditions on who can be co-applicants. all

    co-owners to the property. Need to be co-applicants to the loan necessarily. These institutions

    do not permit minors to join in as either co-owner or as co-applicants because a minor is not

    eligible to enter into a contact as per law. They do not permit even friends or relatives who are

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    8/45

    not blood relatives to take a property jointly. However, Income of co-applicants can be clubbed

    together to get higher loan eligibility. Given below is a Table that throw light on acceptable

    relationship of a co-applicant for clubbing of income.

    Income Clubbing of Co-applicants:- It is as follows:-

    Combination Income Clubbing: -

    Husband-Wife: - Income of husband-wife can be clubbed.

    Parent - son: - It can be clubbed if only son is there but not if any male sibling exists.

    Brother-Brother: - If they are currently staying together and intend to stay together in the

    new property, then only, their income-can be clubbed for above purposes.

    Brother-Sister: - No clubbing-is possible.

    Sister-Sister : - No clubbing is possible.

    Parent-Minor- Child: - No clubbing is possible in this case also.

    (iii) General Terms and Conditions: - The following are the terms and conditions applicable to

    the basic home loan product only. These are likely to change on the basis of the variations of the

    home loan product. Typically, in general home loans, the following conditions are applicable :-

    1) The loan to value ratio (LTV) cannot exceed a particular percentage. This differs from

    product to product and from one Housing Finance Institutional Bank (HFI/B) to another. The

    components of the value of the Property calculated here are covered under cost of property.

    2) The maximum tenure of the bank is nominally fixed by HFI/Bs. However, HFls/Bs do

    provide for different tenures with different terms and conditions.

    3) The installment that one pay is normally restricted to about-50-per cent of the monthly-gross

    income of the candidate.

    4) The total monthly outflow towards all the loans that have been availed of, including the

    current loan is normally restricted to 50% of the gross monthly income.

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    9/45

    5) One will be eligible for a loan amount which is the lowest as per one's eligibility. This is

    calculated as per the LTV norms, the HR, norms and the FOIR norms as mentioned above.

    6) Most HFls/Bs consider the profile before they judge the repayment capacity. The judgement is

    based on age, qualifications, number of dependents, employment details, employer credentials,

    work experience, previous track record of repayment of any loans that have been availed of,

    occupation, the industry to which the candidate's business relates to, if he/she is self-employed,

    then the turnover in the last 3-4 years etc.

    7) Some HFIs/Bs insists on guarantees from other individuals for the repayment of the loan. In

    such cases, the customers has to arrange for the personal guarantee before the Credit appraisal of

    the loan takes place.

    8) The property should be technically clear before the HFIs/Bs disburses the loans amount.

    Most of institutions and banks have a teams of technical experts who visit the site to get a

    technical report before the Credit appraisal of loan. This is also beneficial to the customer as they

    check for the technical quality and compliance with local laws.

    9) The property should be legally clear before one can avail of a Credit appraisal of the loan

    amount. Housing-Finance Institutions /Banks (HFIs/Bs) take legal clearance from their lawyers

    before the Credit appraisal of amount. This proves to be beneficial to the customers as a legal

    expert checks his/her documentation to ensure that he/she get a proper title to the property.

    10) The Credit appraisal of the loan is as per the progress of construction of the property unless

    it is a ready property in which case the Credit appraisal will be by one single cheque. PEMI or

    simple interest on the loan amount disbursed to the customer in case of a part Credit appraisal

    will be payable by the customer on the Credit appraisal.

    11) The Credit appraisal in most cases will be favoring the builder or the seller or the society or

    the development authority as the case may be. The Credit appraisal will come in the customer's

    favour under special circumstances only.

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    10/45

    12) The repayment of loan can be made either through deduction against salary, post-dated

    cheques, standing instructions or Auto debit instructions to bank.

    13) The principle is amortized either on annual reducing or monthly reducing basis as the case

    may be.

    The above terms and conditions are generally true for most Housing finance

    Institutions/Banks with respect to the general Home Loans. However, the specific terms and

    conditions vary with respect to special Housing Finance Institutions or Banks.

    (iv) Charges applicable to home loans :-

    The different kinds of charges applicable to home loans are discussed below:

    a) Processing fees :-

    First of all, comes the process fee. This is a charge that is levied by most HFls/Bs. This has

    to be paid at the time of submission of the application form. It's normally charged as a percentage

    of the loan amount sanctioned. Some HFls also charge a flat fee based on the loan amount

    instead of a percentage. When a lower amount is sanctioned the excess fees paid at the time of

    submission of the application is adjusted with the charges, which one make to the HFI/Bsubsequently. Most HFls/Bs refund the processing fee if the loan application is rejected.

    b) Administrative fees :-

    This charge is again, normally, a percentage of the loan amount sanctioned. It is collected by

    the HFI/B for the maintenance of customer's records, issuing interest certificates, legal charges,

    technical charges, etc. though the tenure of the loan. It is payable by the customer when he/she

    accepts the offer letter given by the HFI/B. This payment has to be made before the availment ofthe Credit appraisal. The mode of collection of these fees varies from one HFI/B to another.

    c) Rate of interest :-

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    11/45

    This is the rate of interest applicable on the loan amount through the tenure of the loan. It is

    charged on the principal monthly reducing method. Most HFIs/Bs give an option to select either

    a fixed rate of interest or a variable rate of interest.

    d) Legal Charges:-

    Some HFIs/Bs mainly Public Sector Banks levy legal charges that they incur on getting the

    property documents vetted by their panel of lawyers.

    e) Technical Charges:-

    These chargesare also levied by certain Housing Finance Institutions/Banks (HFIs/Bs) to

    meet their expenses on the technical site visits to the customer's property. This ensures quality ofconstruction and construction within the norms as stipulated by the respective approval authority.

    f) Stamp duty and registration charges:-

    HFIs that go in for a registered mortgage pass these charges on to the customer. These are

    rather heavy in certain states depending on the laws laid down by the state where one buy a

    property.

    g) Personal Guarantee from Charges :-

    Since the personal guarantee provided by the customer need to be stamped, these charges

    are also recovered from the customer. They are charged to him by HFIs who demand for

    Guarantees.

    h) Cheque Bounce Charges :-

    In case the cheques through which one make a payment to HFls get dishonored, some

    minimum charges are levied by the HFI. The same are recovered from the customer.

    (i) Delayed payment charges :-

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    12/45

    HFls/Bs charge delayed payment charges from the customer if he/she delays the payment of

    installments beyond the due date.

    (j) Additional charges :-

    These are levied as a percentage on the delayed payment charges by most HFls. They are

    levied if one fail to pay the dues within the stipulated time after a delay has taken place.

    (k) Incidental charge :-

    This is payable in case the HFI/B sends a representative from their organization to collect

    their outstanding dues. It is normally charged at a flat rate per visit. These charges are levied by

    most HFls/Bs.

    l) Prepayment Charges :-

    This is a penalty charged by HFls/Bs from when one makes either a part prepayment or a

    full repayment of the loan. This charge is levied only on lump sum payments and not on the

    EMls that one pays. This charge is levied on the amount prepaid by one and not on the entire

    outstanding principal. These charges are gradually being discount. So, these are the charges

    levied by most Housing Finance Institutions and Banks while granting home loan to the

    customers. Now, the decision on the repayment capacity shall be talked about as follows.

    (v) Judgement regarding repayment capacity on the basis of income :-

    To understand how the income of a customer is considered to arrive at his repayment

    capacity, it is first necessary to classify customers into salaried and self employed individuals.

    a) The income of the salaried individual is considered in the following manner:-

    Gross monthly income as it appears on the salary slip

    Less:- Any non regular variable income appearing on the salary slip (including overtime, etc.)

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    13/45

    Add : - 50 per cent of the average variable income of the last six months.

    Add: - Any fixed cash/voucher payments for which proof can be submitted.

    Add: - 50 per cent of the average variable cash/voucher payments with proof like travelingreimbursement etc.

    Add :- HRA receivable if not being received already in the salary slip.

    The above income calculated for the calculation of eligibility using IIR and FOIR norms. For

    calculation of FOIR, the installments of all the loans that one has availed of currently for which

    repayment is being made is taken into account as well. The lower of the two eligibilities is

    considered as the maximum repayment capacity.

    b) To consider incomeof Self-employed individuals we further classify them into Professionals

    and non-professionals .

    Professionals:- Comprising doctors, chartered accountants, lawyers, architects, etc. For

    calculation of eligibility of professional's income is computed by most HFIs using the

    gross professional receipts instead of the Net profit as in the case of self-employed non-

    professionals. Non-Professionals: - The income of non-professionals is normally calculated by HFIs in

    the following manner: -

    Average of the net profits of last 2 years as it appears in the profit and loss account (Returns

    need to be filed for the same. They should be filed regularly before the due date is over).

    Less: - Any income, which is unusual and non-recurring in nature like sale of some asset, etc

    which affects profits substantially,

    Add: - Any expense that is unusual and non-recurring in nature like repairs and maintenance that

    has not been capitalized and effect profit adversely.

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    14/45

    Add: - 50 per cent of the average depreciation of the last two years. The above income is

    calculated for the calculation of eligibility using IIR and FOIR norms.

    For calculation of FOIR the installments of all the loans that one has availed of currently for

    which repayment is being made is taken into account and the eligibility is worked out. The lower

    of the two eligibilities is considered as the maximum repayment capacity.

    (vi) Credit documentation:-

    Given below is the exhaustive list of credit documents- that need to be submitted for a

    general home loan product. The documents vary from one HFI/B to another based on one's

    employer, qualifications experience etc. the general requirements are as follows: -

    (vii) Legal documentation :-

    Legal Documentation the typical legal documents that need to be submitted to the HFC

    arc discussed here. Given below is a list of legal property documents that need to be submitted to

    be noted that in a resale case, the previous chain of agreement also need to be taken.

    (viii) The tax benefits that are applicable to housing loans for individuals :-

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    17/45

    Currently Tax Benefits to individuals are available only for the Home Loans and Home

    Extension Loans products. The benefits available are covered under these sections.

    Property Insurance :-

    Is it compulsory to insure the property? Some HFls insist on a mortgage redemption life

    insurance policy. In this case the customer gets a benefit of an interest rate reduction. Though the

    HFI may not insist, it is better to go in for property insurance to safeguard the asset against any

    sort of damage or loss. The customer can select the tenure for the property insurance. The

    insurance premium is changed up front. Most insurance companies provide for huge discounts on

    the rate of premium for larger tenures. The premium charged currently is seventy-seven for every

    lakh of property for a year. So a customer has to fulfill various conditions to be eligible for

    availing home loan from a Housing Finance Institution/Bank After fulfilling these conditions, a

    customer can avail loan at low interest rate i.e. fixed rate floating rate. A decision on whether one

    should go in for a fixed-rate loan or a floating-rate loan now is a function of two factors i.e.

    One's perception of where interest rates in the economy are headed and one' capacity to ride the

    interest rate changes. A floating-rate loan let one take advantage of further falls in interest rates

    but one stand to lose if interest rate, rise again. However this decision is based on the perceptionof the consumer.

    CHAPTER 3

    THE HISTORY OF INDIAN HOME LOANS:-

    Home loans in India have made people Buy Property in India in spite of the

    skyrocketing prices. Today, we find considerable Real Estate Investment in India, either in the

    field of Residential Property in India or Commercial Properties in India. Home Loans in India

    are disbursed by many Banks as Loan Banking is on of the most important function of the

    Financial Services in India. Property Dealers and Real Estate Consultants in India usually

    recommend that we undertake appropriate Home Loan orMortgage Loan counseling so that we

    can Buy Apartment in India at an affordable Mortgage Rate.Purchasing the home of your dreams

    is not an easy task. Especially when you plan to buy a home on loan. Home loan means that you

    buy a house on installments. In simpler terms when you want to own a home and cant afford to

    pay the amount in lump sum, you can pay it in monthly installments with an interest rate.

    The interest rates of home loans are expected to go down even further according to

    analysts who foresee a cut down in the rates by the RBI in the wake of the decision taken by US

    Federal Reserve to cut its rates by a significant margin.

    There are number of companies offer cheap home loans at a low interest rate. You can avail

    loan against existing house for renovation or expansion etc. There are many nationalized banks

    that offer finance for affordable housing. India Housing has put together a comprehensive data to

    provide you with the cheapest Home Loans available in the market. We have listed all the

    important housing finance institutes and some of the top home finance banks providing lowest

    interest rates.

    In the last few years, housing loan scenario in India has changed drastically. It has taken a

    front seat and people are looking forward to owning their own houses. It is no more a dream that

    required lifetime saving and a difficult decision to make. Today the new home purchase loan is

    much easily available and is much cheaper than what was available earlier. Banks are now

    everywhere and the schemes are implemented even in villages and smaller towns. The housing

    loans are popular there too, however, the activity of building flats is little slow. It would not be

    wrong to say that there has been a boom in the home loan market and with this boom; there is

    also a boom in the Number of home loans mortgage brokers in India.

    The main reason for this boom in home loan market is the change in government policies. It

    is our governments motivation that the home loan interest rates in India have fallen

    considerably. Lot many banks are offering home loans and this is available at low EMIs

    (Equated monthly Installments). High EMIs are now a thing of past. Today lending rate is in the

    range of 7.5 to 15 %.

    Again, there are different types of home loans available today. The interest rate available is

    also of two different types. One is the fixed rate loan and the other is the floating rate loan. In the

    fixed rate loan, whatever interest is fixed on the start of loan is carried on for the complete

    period. However, in the other one, the interest rate is not fixed and as the interest rate goes up or

    low the effect is directly transferred to the person who is taking the loan. In the last few years the

    floating interest rate has been a favorite among most of the people taking home loans.

    There is also a trend to opt for home construction loan. This loan is available to those

    who want to design their homes according to their requirement and taste. In other words, this

    loan is meant for those who themselves want to construct their new home.

    As shared earlier, taking a loan is not a difficult task. However, before taking a loan, one

    must realize that the relationship with the bank will be for a longer period usually 15 to 20 years

    so one must ensure faith and integrity in bank. Apart from low rate of interest, the bank should

    also provide some value added services. The other thing is to look into is the property that is to

    be brought. Making sure that the builder has all sanctions and facility to build a good building is

    very important.

    Taking home loans these days has become simpler. With the RBI regularly bring down

    interest rates; taking home loans have become extremely easy. Housing loans which were 16.5%

    to 18% a few years ago fell by 11.5% to 13%. With interest rates going down, people

    increasingly number apply to take these loans. Some of the leading banks offering home loans in

    India, including Corporation Bank, ICICI Bank, IDBI Bank, HDFC Bank , Bank of Baroda,

    SBI, Standard Chartered Bank and Axis Bank .

    Recent trends of home loan in India:-

    In order to understand the recent trends we need to know or understand various factors.

    These factors play vital role in Indian home loan market. These include interest rate on whichbanks provide home loan, tax rebate on home loan and its impact. Apart from this to understand

    the recent trend we need to compare the trends of home loan of different years. Here we have

    compared the interest and other market trends of year 2009 with 2007-08. This kind of

    comparison gives the result which helps us to understand the trends of market of any industry.

    Apart from the impact of present and past economic ups and down also affect the trends. Today

    the US slowdown is the major issue which has affected almost all the industry. So we have also

    discussed this issue in terms to define trend of home loan market in India.

    Impact of slowdown on home loan market in India:-

    The fear of a recession looms over the United States. And as the clinch goes, whenever

    the US sneezes, the world catches a cold. This is evident from the way the Indian markets

    crashed taking a cue from a probable recession in the US and a global economic slowdown. U.S

    slowdown has affected almost all sectors not only in US but to all over the world. Indian

    economy has also been affected by this slowdown because India is a growing country and almost

    in all sectors various multinational companies have major contribution. So the role of this

    slowdown is a major issue to be discussed while talking about Home Loan Market in India.

    Bankers who were earlier falling over each other to dole out home loans, even for soft

    furnishings, have suddenly become choosy. Banks like SBI, ICICI Bank, UTI Bank, IDBI Bank

    and leading mortgage firm Corporation are now apparently making a conscious attempt to curb

    their aggression in the home loan market situation is like that if a customer who recently

    approached a private sector bank for a home loan of about Rs 10 lakh for a tenure of 15 years

    found, to his shock, that the eventual loan disbursement was just Rs 5 lakh. Most bankers aren't

    willing to confirm any slowdown in their home loan portfolio. On record, they attribute the

    marginal dip in home loan disbursements to the recent hike in interest rate.

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    28/45

    Privately, however, they have a different story to tell. "The slowdown in the home loan

    market for select players like ICICI Bank was evident from January. ICICI Bank's average home

    loan disbursement in a month is around Rs 2,500 crore in a month, which has come down to

    almost Rs 2,000 crore in March," said a private sector banker. ICICI Bank officials denied any

    slowdown in their home loan portfolio and they say that the recent dip in interest rates has had

    some impact on disbursals. However, in absolute terms, it is still low. Even this slowdown the

    deposit growth for the sector as a whole is around 17%, while credit is growing at almost 28%,

    forcing banks to become selective. Institutions now charge a floating rate of 8 to 8.25 per cent on

    home loans above Rs 20 lakh. Initial estimates by bankers suggest that the increase in rate for

    home loans and other segments would be around 25-50 basis points (0.25% to 0.5%). Even as

    the provisioning requirement has gone up around 60 basis points, the hike in interest rates may

    be lower as the impact would be felt for the first year. It would also depend on how well

    capitalized the banks are as the rise in provisioning and risk weightage would affect the return on

    equity for banks. Weaker banks and banks with a large portfolio of these loans are likely to be

    more affected and may hike rates first.

    Home loan growth of disbursals were at 20 per cent in 2007-08 according to a study by

    the credit rating agency CRISIL, a Standard & Poors company. This rate is lower than the 30

    per cent annual increase seen in the past three years, but in absolute terms represents a

    substantial expansion. The slower growth reflects the impact of rising property prices and

    interest.

    Chapter 4

    Data Analysis & Interpretation

    Home Loan Procedure in Corporation Bank :-

    Submission of Application Form: - After choosing a particular home loan, the customer

    submits the application form to the housing finance company (HFC) along with other relevant

    documents as required by the HFC. They comprise documents to establish income, age,

    residence, employment, investments, etc. The customer also needs to hand over a cheque for

    payment of an up front (non -refundable) processing fee of about 0.5-1% of the loan amount to

    the HFC.

    Validation of the Information: - In the next stage, HFCs validate the information provided by

    the customer on the application form. They usually conduct checks on the residential address of

    the customer, the place of employment of the customer, and credentials of the employer. Some

    HFCs may insist on a personal interview with the customer and perform a reference check on the

    references provided by the customer on the application form.

    Issue of Sanction Letter :- After due appraisal of customer profile, a sanction letter is issuedwhich contains details such as loan amount, rate of interest, annual / monthly reducing balance,

    tenor of the loan, mode of repayment and general terms and conditions of the loan. This is the

    actually the approval of the money lending procedure by the company. However, the money is

    sanctioned only after the documents and the property on behalf of which the loan is being

    granted is thoroughly verified.

    Submission of Documents: - Once the sanction letter is passed, the customer is required to leave

    the entire set of original documents pertaining to the property being purchased with the HFC as

    security for the loan amount sanctioned. These documents remain in the custody of the HFC till

    the time the loan is fully repaid. Once the documents are handed over to the HFC, they send all

    the documents for a thorough legal scrutiny.

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    34/45

    Validation of Property: - Prior to disbursement, the HFC also conducts a site visit to the

    customer's property to ensure that all construction norms have been adhered to properly. Once

    the HFC is satisfied that the property is legally and technically clear, they disburse the loan

    amount. The disbursement from the HFI is on the basis of the stage of construction of the

    property.

    Lock-in facility by banks :-

    A lock-in, also called a rate-lock or rate commitment, is a lenders promise to hold a

    certain interest rate and a certain number of points for you, usually for a specified period of time,while your loan application is processed. (Points are additional charges imposed by the lender

    that are usually prepaid by the consumer at settlement but can sometimes be financed by adding

    them to the mortgage amount. One point equals one percent of the loan amount.) Depending

    upon the lender, you may be able to lock in the interest rate and number of points that you will

    be charged when you file your application, during processing of the loan, when the loan is

    approved, or later.

    A lock-in that is given when you apply for a loan may be useful because its likely to take

    your lender several weeks or longer to prepare, document, and evaluate your loan application.

    During that time, the cost of mortgages may change. But if your interest rate and points are

    locked in, you should be protected against increases while your application is processed. This

    protection could affect whether you can afford the mortgage. However, a locked-in rate could

  • 8/7/2019 INDIAN BANKING-sunil

    41/45

    also prevent you from taking advantage of price decreases, unless your lender is willing to lock

    in a lower rate that becomes available during this period.

    It is important to recognize that a lock-in is not the same as a loan commitment, although

    some loan commitments may contain a lock-in. A loan commitment is the lenders promise to

    make you a loan in a specific amount at some future time. Generally, you will receive the

    lenders commitment only after your loan application has been approved. This commitment

    usually will state the loan terms that have been approved (including loan amount), how long the

    commitment is valid, and the lenders conditions for making the loans such as receipt of a

    satisfactory title insurance policy protecting the lender.

    Oral or written lock-in agreement? :-

    Some lenders have preprinted forms that set out the exact terms of the lock-in agreement.

    Others may only make an oral lock-in promise on the telephone or at the time of application.

    Oral agreements can be very difficult to prove in the event of a dispute. It is wise to obtain

    written, rather than verbal, lock-in agreements to make sure that you fully understand how your

    lenders lock-ins and loan commitments work and to have a tangible record of your arrangements

    with the lender. This record may be useful in the event of a dispute.

    Charges of a lock-in:-

    Lenders may charge you a fee for locking in the rate of interest and number of points for

    your mortgage. Some lenders may charge you a fee up-front, and may not refund it if you

    withdraw your application, if your credit is denied, or if you do not close the loan. Others might

    charge the fee at settlement. The fee might be a flat fee, a percentage of the mortgage amount, or

    a fraction of a percentage point added to the rate you lock in. The amount of the fee and how it is

    charged will vary among lenders and may depend on the length of the lock-in period.

    42/45

    Types of lock-in:-

    Locked-In Interest Rate--Locked-In Points :- Under this option, the lender lets you lock in

    both the interest rate and points quoted to you. This option may be considered to be a true lock-inbecause your mortgage terms should not increase above the interest rate and points that youve

    agreed upon even if market conditions change.

    Locked-in Interest Rate--Floating Points:- Under this option, the lender lets you lock in the

    interest rate, while permitting or requiring the points to rise and fall (float) with changes in

    market conditions. If market interest rates drop during the lock-in period, the points may also

    fall. If they rise, the points may increase. Even if you float your points, your lender may allow

    you to lock-in the points at some time before settlement at whatever level is then current. (For

    instance, say youve locked in a 10 percent interest rate, but not the 3 points that went with that

    rate. A month later, the market interest rate remains the same, but the points the lender charges

    for that rate have dropped to 2. With your lenders agreement, you could then lock in the

    lower 2. Points.) If you float your points and market interest rates increase by the time of

    settlement, the lender may charge a greater number of points for a loan at the rate youve locked

    in. In this case, the benefit you might have had by locking in your rate may be lost because youll

    have to pay more in up-front costs.

    Indian Economy is growing at a nice pace (8% p.a) which is also driving per capita income rise.

    The demand of real estate has reached at a new peak according to ninth five year plan there is a

    shortage of 42million houses .But in India the figures to GDP are smaller in comparison to the

    other countries Contribution of housing to GDP is close to 8%.
