 How Interest rate affects home loans?

Factors like your income, existing loans being repaid, your job, spouse/co-applicant's income, and your credit score are considered. In case your credit score is less than desirable, your loan may be sanctioned but at a higher rate of interest.Banks and financial institutions are always the extra careful bit. So you end up with a loan of 75-80% of the property value. The applicant brings in the rest of the amount. If you can pay a higher down payment, total EMIs and the interest component goes down.

Inflation, money supply, global economic conditions are some of the factors that affect interest rates. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) uses various tools like the Repo Rate, Cash Reserve Ratio, and Statutory Liquidity Ratio to regulate interest rates in the economy.

Interest Rate Type – Interest rates come in two basic types: fixed and floating. Fixed interest rates don’t change over time. Floating interest rate varies periodically over the loan tenure.
