How will you get the Loan Amount?
The loan amount is given to the customers in a lump sum or installments. If you get this in installment, you will get the total amount in a maximum of three installments. If we consider ready-to-move properties, the loan amount can be benefited in a lump sum. However, if your property is currently under construction, the loan amount is disbursed to the customers as per the construction progress. In such a situation, the customer can agree with the bank to give the home loan amount to the builder according to the construction.

What are the types of interest rates?
For the interest rate for the loan, you can choose between a fixed-rate loan and a floating-rate home loan. On a fixed-rate loan, your EMI does not change for the entire loan tenure. This can be substantiated to be beneficial as interest rates are likely to increase going forward. Whereas in floating rate, the interest rate of your loan is decided based on the floating rate along with the base rate. In such a situation, the fluctuation of the base rate affects the EMI. This is effective when interest rates are predicted to come down in the future.
