    Re: Housing Bank Loans

    With the US economic situation look grim, and people in the indian goverment telling us that we are strong, does not look so good..though as an optimist, i would like to believe that we are safe and will not have any effect what so may come in the next few months or 1 year..i still would like to tread with caution.

    something that reiterated my view on the loans, rates and the emis that are going to be the downfall of a lot of people...

    I think i already mentioned this long back that the interest rate could touch 16% by 2011 end. and i see it inching towards that with some banks charging 15+% interest rates on homeloans. some nationalised banks have increased the margin money by 25%..instead of the 20% that is prevailing.

    hdfc has now increased the base point again..and now it is 10+.

    HDFC has come out with a fixed-first and then floating..it is said it is a better product then the earlier teaser loans. it has a 3/5 year fixed and later converted into floating on that day.

    3 year fixed would useful if a person knows that he will get into some liquid cash at the end of 3rd year, and would like to prepay..floating does not have prepayment penalty is my assumption..atleast earlier it was so.

    i assume yours is a nri loan?? if so all repayements are to be from a nri fund/account.

    if there is no pre-payment penalty, go to the office where your loan account is from, pay the amount and close the loan. the documents will be returned to you after a few days mostly 10-15 days which will be mentioned in the receipt that is given to you.

    Hi Hemalatha,

    As far as the Prepayment penalty on existing rule (ICICI Bank) is 2% on principle amount. Hope it will not
    vary much with other banks.
