RBI Eases Norms for housing loans up to Rs 10 lakh
These charges constitute around 15 per cent of the cost of the house and place a burden on borrowers.
“With a view to encourage availability of affordable housing to such borrowers, it has been decided that in cases where the cost of the house does not exceed Rs. 10 lakh, banks may add stamp duty, registration and other documentation charges to the cost of the unit for calculating LTV (loan to value) ratio,” RBI said.
As per the current practice, banks do not include stamp duty, registration and other documentation charges in the cost of housing property.
“It has been brought to our notice that these amounts constitute around 15 per cent of the cost of the house and place a burden on the borrowers from economically weaker sections (EWS) and low income groups (LIG),” the central bank noted while easing the norms.
The central bank also said in cases of projects sponsored by government, statutory authorities, banks may disburse the loans as per the payment stages prescribed by such authorities, even where payments sought from house buyers are not linked to the stages of construction.
