Home loan mechanism and schemes
In India, home loans are provided by banks and NBFCs. There are two types of home loans:
1. Fixed rate home loans – when the rate of interest is fixed on home loan for entire tenure
of the loan period, it is known as fixed rate home loans. A few banks come out with
teaser home loans which have interest rate for first few years. However, as per RBI’s
recent quidelines, banks have to keep higher asset provisioning for such loans in order to
discourage the banks.
2. Floating rate home loans – The interest rates on the loan change with changing interest
rates by the regulator. Overall, the fixed rate home loans have higher interest rates than
the floating rate home loans.
