Applying for a home loan is often the first step toward owning your dream home. But before a bank hands over the keys to your future, you must meet their eligibility requirements. This home loan eligibility checklist will help you understand exactly what financial institutions look for — and how to improve your chances of approval.
At Bhumesh Realtors, we guide every client through the home-buying process, including financial planning and loan eligibility.
📋 Why Is a Home Loan Eligibility Checklist Important?
Knowing your home loan eligibility in advance:
- Saves time and effort
- Increases approval chances
- Helps you plan your budget better
- Prevents rejection due to missing documents or poor credit history
Let’s break down the key factors banks evaluate before sanctioning a loan.
✅ 1. Age of the Applicant
- Most banks prefer applicants aged 21 to 60 years.
- Younger applicants get longer tenures, which can reduce EMI burden.
- Older applicants may face restrictions on the loan term.
✅ 2. Monthly Income
- Salaried individuals must have a minimum income (usually ₹25,000–₹30,000/month) depending on the city.
- Self-employed professionals must show stable income through ITRs (Income Tax Returns) and bank statements.
💡 Tip from Bhumesh Realtors: Banks usually allow EMIs up to 40–50% of your monthly income.
✅ 3. Credit Score
- A CIBIL score of 750 or above is ideal.
- Lower scores may lead to rejection or higher interest rates.
- Always check your credit report before applying.
✅ 4. Employment Type & Stability
- Salaried: Preferably with a reputed company or government job.
- Self-employed: Minimum 2-3 years of consistent business income.
Stability is key. Frequent job changes or irregular income may raise red flags.
✅ 5. Loan Amount & Property Value
- Banks typically fund up to 75-90% of the property value.
- The remaining amount (down payment) must come from your own funds.
Bhumesh Realtors can help you find properties that fit your budget and loan eligibility — making approval smoother and faster.
✅ 6. Existing Financial Obligations
- Ongoing loans (personal, car, credit cards) impact your eligibility.
- A high debt-to-income ratio reduces loan sanction chances.
Keep your monthly commitments in check.
✅ 7. Co-Applicant (Optional but Helpful)
- Adding a co-applicant (spouse or parent) with good credit and income can increase eligibility.
- Co-ownership of the property is usually required.
📂 Essential Documents Checklist
- PAN card and Aadhaar card
- Salary slips (last 3 months) or ITR (for self-employed)
- Bank statements (last 6 months)
- Form 16 or employment letter
