Introduction to Subject

Introduction

Purchasing the home of your dreams is not an easy task. Especially when you plan to buy a home on loan.

Home loans means that you buy a house on installments. In simpler terms when you want to own a home and

cannot afford to pay the amount in lump sum, you can pay it in monthly installments with an interest rate.

There are number of companies offer cheap loans at a low interest rate you can avail loan against existing

house for renovation or expansion etc. The demand for home loans will not sag much. The reason is a

substantial rise in the income-generating capability of Indian youth. So this particular section will keep the

housing loan demand high and increased lending rates can only shelve their plans for some time.

Take a house loan and let the monthly rent (easily converted into affordable EMI’s) build dream home.

Industry overview: In India there are many prominent nationalized banks and private banks that offer

easy home loans to the prospective buyers. These banks offer Home loans to the prospective buyers to

purchase either fresh or old house. Further loans are also provided for home upgrading or repair, extension of

houses etc.The facilities provided by these banks include Low interest rates, Door-step service, Can transfer

your existing high-interest rate loan, Free personal accident insurance, Up to 100% funding for selected

properties.

HOME LOAN

Home loans are loans you have access to, depending on whether you want to buy or build a house and can also be used to repair or extend an existing house.

Who can avail of these loans?

          According to lending institutions, any Indian resident who is over 21 years of age at the beginning of the loan and below 65at its maturity can avail of the loan. Salaried Employees as well as Self- Employed citizens can apply.

Why should one option for a loan to buy a house?         Taking a loan seems like a good option when the money at hand is insufficient to buy the house of your dreams. Consider couples in their twenties and thirties. They enjoy a good income currently, buy their accumulated capital isn’t enough to purchase a house. Whereas a home loan can give them access to capital their current earnings.Also, if you take a 10 years old loan when you are thirty, you could repay it by the time you’re forty. So you don’t have to be burdened with the interest and are free to plan your retirement savings.

The Quantum of loan that one can avail of :          Loan sanctioned depend on your repayment capacity – which is based on your current income and your future repayment capacity. You would include your spouse’s name to enhance the loan amount.The maximum loan can be sanctioned varies with each bank/institutions and ranges from Rs.1 lakh to Rs. 10lakhs .

Benefits of taking a home loan:          A home loan is very different from a personal loan like a car loan for instance. You can utilize a home loan for financing an asset that will hold its value and even appreciate over the period of the loan. Though its price could fluctuate in the short terms, Total Estate will show capital appreciation over the years. The value of your house generally while the loan remains constant. If you had opted to wait, save up and buy a house, it would, in the long run cost you much more; home loans also come with many tax benefits.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF AVAILING A LOAN (SMALL OR BIG)

There are several expenses involved apart from repayment of the actual loan amount:

1. Processing fees- A processing fee (PF) is charges at the time of submission of the application form and covers expenses incurred for processing the application form. This fee has to be paid upfront by the customer – in some cases, it is non-refundable.

2. Administration fees- to meet operating expenses.

3. Pre-EMI- A simple interest calculated on the disbursement amount in case of a plot under construction.

4. EMI- The EMI is an abbreviated form of the Equated money installment and is simply referred to as monthly installment in common parlance. And, being a self-explanatory term that is exactly what it is. The amount you will have to pay you financier every month when repaying your loan. Being a monthly payment, at the end of the year, you would have paid 12 EMIs.  

UNIQUE FEATURES OF HOUSE LOAN

Purpose: For purchase of house from builder/resale and construction/ extension of existing house.

Loan Amount: You can avail for Home loans ranging from Rs.1 lakh to Rs.1olakh depending on

your eligibility, income, and repayment capacity.

Security: Home loan is a secured loan wherein collateral are required.

Loan Tenor: The maximum loan tenure is 25 years.

So if you are planning to avail a home loan, here are some tips:

Firstly, take your own time and evaluate your expenses and do a market survey about the property buying

process. Buying a house, which is way beyond your range, could affect you financially; banks help in

financing your dream home via home loans.

ELIGIBILITY: Banks determine your eligibility based on your repayment capacity and discuss about the

loan amount upfront. The eligibility for acquiring a home loan is augmented by clubbing income of your

father/spouse/mother/son, by clearing your outstanding debts, by stretching your loan tenure, Salaried

individuals can increase their eligibility by showing their performance linked income or bonus earned.

7

Secondly, Do your own analysis and check the impact of your repayment of home loan on your monthly

expenditure, as a thumb rule, it is recommended to make sure the EMI of your home loan do not exceed more

than 40% of your gross monthly income.

INTEREST RATES BEST SUITED: An important factor that goes into your EMI calculations in the

interest rates, which may vary from bank to bank, so do compare them. Also do a complete and detailed

analysis of the various options like the interest rates i.e. fixed and floating rate of interest.

Thirdly, if two banks give you the same amount of loan but at different interest rates do your math and work

out what’s best for you.

Fixed interest loans charge an interest, which remains the same through out the tenure of the loan. This

means that the consumer is immune to market risk or the possible upward movement in the interest rates.

Hence, fixed rate is a good option when the interest rates are expected to move in the future.

As for Floating rate loan, a consumer is exposed to market risk and his gain or loss depends on the

interest rate condition prevailing in the market. Floating rate is beneficial if the interest rate falls in the future.

A floating rate is considered non-transparent and is also known as ‘adjustable rate’

Fourthly, if you decide to opt for a fixed rate loan, you can still switch to a floating rate loan in the future and

vice versa as and when rates go in your favors and if you decide to switch, you should take into account the

cost of doing so and the interest rate benefits of switching. For a given interest rate, loan with daily or

monthly reducing balance is better than an annual reducing balance loan. Interest rates vary depending on the

tenure of the loan, the amount of the loan and your personal profile.

Other costs: The interest rate and EMIs are not the only cost factor. A 1% administration fee and a 1%

processing fee on a Rs.10 lakh loan, would amount to Rs.20,000. Processing fees, administration fees,

valuation fee, legal fee, is to be paid when you apply for a loan and other fees paid at closing. Many of these

fees are negotiable. You should ask for zero processing fees and zero penalty for pre-payment option. If this

were not available, then the lowest cost would be better. Make sure you work out as to how much these costs

add up to. So even though the interest rate may be lower, it usually adds up to being expensive. If the EMIs

come out a lot more than what you can afford on a monthly basis; try to redo the math with changes in the

tenure and loan amount (if possible).

8

DOCUMENT REQUIRED: Most importantly, all deals and offers agreed upon are supported by relevant

papers. Self employed and salaried require different documents to support the deal. So make sure you always

ask for a letter on the banks letterhead mentioning the likes of, exact rate of interest, processing fees, pre-

payment charges along with interest-schedule. Before signing the documents, make sure you recheck all

terms and conditions. Do make sure you understand and agree with each of the clauses in the documents. Do

not sign any blank documents. Even if it takes you a few hours to fill-up the form, please do so. Do not leave

anything for the executive to fill-up. It’s always better to get a legal opinion from someone on your loan

papers. Do not under any circumstance give any false information. This may amount to fraud a d could land

you in trouble.

Penalties: Once you have received the loan do your best to pay it back as quickly as possible. But this early

payment might invite a pre-payment clause. Banks make their money off the interest they charge and the

sooner you pay back a loan the less money you will have to pay in interest. When it comes to Home loans,

penalties are binding, like if you choose to pay up your entire money before the tenure, a pre-payment

penalty is charged. So you should know about such penalties beforehand to avoid future misunderstanding

between you and the bank.

CHAPTER 3

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

After going through pervious studies of Home loans I came to conclude that-

• There is growth of home loans after 2001.

• Home loans have an inverse relation with interest rates i.e. when interest rate low the demand of home loans increase.

• People are going more towards home loans than private mortgage insurance.

• Government taking various steps to encourage people to go toward home loans

• Growth of home loans is due to increase of living standard of people, shifting from joint family to nuclear family

• There are some problems also attach with these home loans such as time i.e. filling of application of loan to closing ,people have their own specified needs from these home loans which are not fulfilling.

CHAPTER 4

Research Methodology

2. Research objectives:

The prime objective of the study is

To find the bank that is largely availed by the customer

To study the factors which influencing the choice of a bank for availing services.

To analyze the satisfaction level of privatize banks (HDFC Bank and AXIS Bank) Home Loan

Customers.

To study the problems faced by customers in obtaining home loan.

To know that which bank provide better loan schemes.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Design of Research:

The research was exploratory in nature. A population of peoples who take home loan from these banks considered for this study. I will try to explore about the home loans which would make a difference in the

33

behavior of the consumer. Effort will be made to throw light on most of the factors which have either indirect or direct effect on the behavior of the consumer.

Sampling Plan

• Population: The study aimed to include the customers of HDFC & AXIS in Malout & Muktsar city to make a comparative analysis of home loan schemes of these two banks.

• Sample Size: A Sample size of 100 respondents will be taken for the current study because it is not possible to cover the whole universe in the available time period. So it is necessary to take the sample size. Sampling technique:

The sampling technique will be probabilistic sampling more specifically the random convenient and judgmental sampling will be used. As in probabilistic sampling the select unit for observation with known probabilities so the statistically sound assumptions are supported from the sample to entire population so that we had positive probability of being selected into the sample

Sources of Data:

I will use primary source of data that is structured questionnaire. As these banks are established from so many years, so many researchers have done research on this topic, so we will find secondary data also and also use this data for the help of this research. So, this research data will collected from the primary source and secondary source. Our method of collecting the data is from the questionnaire that will be filled by the respondent from the sample, it will be structured questionnaire.

Tools and Techniques:

As no study could be successfully completed without proper tools & techniques, same with my project. For the better presentation and right explanation I used tools of statistics and computer very frequently and I am very thankful to all those tools for helping me a lot. Basic tools which I used for project are: -

PIE CHARTS – TABLES

Pie charts are very useful tools for every research to show the result in a clear, simple way. Because I used pie charts in my project for showing data in a systematic way. So I need not necessary for any observer to read all the theoretical detail, simple on seeing the charts anybody that what is being said.

Technological Tools:

MS -WORD

MS-EXCEL

34

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

This study also includes some limitations which have been discussed as follows: To collect the data from banks was quite difficult due to non- cooperation of employees. This proved

to be major limitation of the study.

This research study was taken in a limited area only (i.e. Malout & Muktsar city) and findings may vary if the area of study is increased or changed.

Ignorance and reluctant attitude of customers was also a major limitation in this study.

Problems faced by customers while availing home loans

There are everything in the world has good or bad points. No doubt banking industry/ company has made many efforts to enhance the customer satisfaction but customer still faced some problems. These are high lightened as below:

1) The customer does not have proper knowledge about different home loan products so they face problem in making a good deal.

2) Procedural delays because of more legal formalities, which harass the customer’s lot.

3) The attitude of bank employees sometimes non cooperative and it creates a hurdle in building trust and Confidence among customers about banks.

So above discussed are the problems which faced by customers while availing home loans.

52

CHAPTER 5

Findings, Suggestions & Conclusion

Findings

HDFC bank is most preferred by the people as compare to AXIS bank.

Most of the people preferred fixed rate of interest.

Lower rate of interest is main factor which influence the choice of bank.

HDFC bank provide loan at low rate of interest.

AXIS bank provide easily home loan.

Both banks enjoy good reputation in home loan sector.

53

People face problems while taking loan like more legal formalities, reference problem etc.

Most of the people use home loan for construction of home.

Majority of people think home loan procedure is difficult.

Majority of people are satisfied from employee behavior of Axis bank.

Suggestions

Rate of interest should be competitive with other banks.

Simplify the procedure of home loan.

The formalities and paperwork should be reduced while providing the loans to the customers &

demand only the basic essential proof.

The behavior of the staff of the bank toward the customer should be cooperative

Proper credit appraisal of the customers should be done

Many booklets and attractive advertisement should be providing to the customer for awareness

about different housing loan scheme.

Relevant information should be provided to customers time to time.

54

Emphasis should be given on retaining customers.

As far as possible, banks should reduce its documentation process while providing loans.

To satisfy their customers and for good dealings in future, the banks should make prompt

disbursement of loan amount to the customers so that they can buy or construct their dream home

as early as possible.

Conclusions

After doing a lot of research and studying the materials available on internet, newspapers, magazines and

journals. I want to conclude that people prefers HDFC Bank more than AXIS Bank for Home loans in private

sector. As private banks are coming daily in our country still, Mostly people prefers government banks for

loans, especially older persons are more dependent on government banks. It is true that younger population

preference is changing and they prefer more private banks because of services and facilities provided by

private banks. The interest rate is lower in government banks but services are not up to the mark. The

appearance of banks also becomes very important for the present generation and private banks put their

complete efforts on this, which is lacking in government banks. At last I can only say that HDFC & AXIS

Bank both enjoys good position in home loan sector
