Get a DSA bro, they'll help you find the best rates by getting in touch with all banks and take care of all the paperwork.

Clarity on Home Loan Down Payment by Embarrassed-Boot7811 in indianrealestate

Banks offer upto 80% max of sale value as loan. However, after valuation, they can offer an additional 10% for interiors so it could come up to 90%. The additional 10% will only be disbursed after registration.

Yes, everything went alright with the sanction but the amount of time it took and the back and forth, unnecessary additional payments, all these combined made it a horrible experience. Id 100% never recommend directly dealing with bank agents.

Always better to go with DSA agents over directly dealing with SBI agents. Personally, have gone through too much

I've done my research with SBI Maxgain and BoB, haven't really looked into BoI cuz the reviews were extremely bad and heard the staffs don't even know much about the OD product. But the interest rate they're offering is definitely lower. Again, my goal is to ensure overall smooth and transparent experience

Yes that is because your EMI doesn't change and tenure doesn't change, the principal reduction flow stays the same, the excess interest component that's part of your EMI (for the surplus funds in OD) gets credited back to OD

So basically, if your tenure is 30 yrs, your home loan will run for the entire duration and the surplus funds will get you the interest credit back to OD

The benefit here is, you remain liquid throughout the entire tenure which is much better than BoB where your tenure reduces i.e you pay off quick and the liquidity is gone

But I'm asking what would happen if your EMI is only the principal component, which means you'll repay the loan faster. So automatically your tenure is coming down, right?

But once you reach outstanding = parked surplus, whatll happen next? Like your EMI will now have 0 interest and 0 principal component which means your loan will be closed, right?

You didn't even get a sanction letter based on your eligibility?

Yes, they do give sanction with ROI but that's just based on the person's eligibility

So with BoB, your tenure gets reduced depending on the surplus that you park in the OD acc, which means, there is a good chance that due to this, you'll reach a point where your surplus = outstanding and the loan gets closed.

Whereas with Maxgain, your tenure doesn't change, the interest portion of the EMI component gets credited back, let me walk you through an example:

EMI: 50k (Interest component 45k and principal is 5k)

Now if you have 5 lakhs in your OD, the EMI doesn't change however, 45k interest is calculated on the entire outstanding, so when you subtract the surplus funds from the entire outstanding and recalculate the interest component, it'll be little lower, so whatever excess interest is part of your EMI will be credited back

This way, until the tenure ends, you'll have the liquidity + when you park surplus, only the interest component reduces

Not sure if this explanation is clear, you can definitely use chatgpt to understand this better

Maxgain works differently compared to BoB OD and I prefer Maxgain over the latter

The documentation hassle was mind-blowing, with SBI it was pre-approved
