Evaluation and verification of home loan applicant

After applying successfully for the home loan and submitting the processing fees, the bank evaluates your application, decides in principal about your home loan and requires a personal meeting with the bank officials. This decision for personal interaction can be taken within 2-3 days of submitting a complete application. The purpose of this personal interaction is to know more about the borrower and his repayment capacity.

Satisfied by your application and personal interaction, the bank proceeds to verify all the facts that you mentioned in your application for home loan. A field investigation process is initiated - to confirm and validate everything stated in the application form. Qualified representatives are sent by the bank to your office and place of residence to ascertain the facts. The references provided in the application are cross checked and verified.

Verification of repayment capacity

Once the field investigations over, the bank now goes ahead to verify your repayment capacity. This is the most vital part of any home loan process. If the bank finds that you'll not be able to repay the money back with interest on time, it will simply deny you any home loan offer. On the other hand if the bank finds that all's well and is convinced by your repayment capacity, it sanctions your home loan. Based on how well the bank is satisfied by your financial conditions and repayment capacity the bank can issue a conditional sanction or unconditional sanction. If the sanction is conditional, you'll have to fulfill the conditions imposed before the loan is disbursed.

Offer letter for home loan

The bank then prepares an offer letter which contains the following detail:

  • The amount of home loan sanctioned
  • The interest rate applicable on your home loan
  • Whether the interest rate is fixed or floating
  • Your home loan tenure
  • The mode of repayment of the home loan
  • If any special scheme applies to the home loan, its details
  • The terms and conditions associated with the home loan

If you find the offer attractive and agree with all the facts mentioned in the offer letter, you will have to provide an acceptance copy to the bank. This is generally a duplicate of the offer letter signed by you, provided to the bank for its records. If the bank charges any Administrative fee, it will have to be submitted at this stage.
