Margin

Your contribution (margin) for the housing loan is as under: 15% for new house/ flat 20% for old house/ flat 20% for repairs and renovation.

Interest 

Avail of the lowest interest rates in the market. We give you the option of locking in the low interest rates for the full tenure of the loan or keeping your interest option open by linking it to the Bank's Term Lending rate. Therefore, you could either avail the loan at a fixed rate of interest, which stays constant throughout the loan period, or at a floating rate of interest where the interest changes (increases or decreases) depending on changes in the Bank's Term Lending Rate.
