1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO HOME LOANS

The concept of home loans in INDIA is of great importance keeping in view the population

of INDIA is more than 110 crores and it increasing day by day. Even though our government

is making efforts to control the population but it is exploding. In India every person has a

desire to own a house. Due to scarcity of land and soaring prices of land, Real Estate has to

be developed in a big way. Government of India has taken steps to boost the construction of

housing in India. Government has given incentives under Income-Tax Act, 1961 by way of

16


16/27

deduction for interest and for repayment of instalments paid during the financial year. During

the last few years housing has picked up. Moreover with the liberalisation announced in India

since nineties, most of multinational companies are coming to India and they have started

their operations here. India is emerging as a great market and there is a tremendous scope for

development of housing sector from the point of view of multinational banks, financial

institutions etc. Financing of housing sector is considered as advance to priority sector up to

twenty lakhs as per RBI norms.

Housing loan portfolio occupies an eminent position, the scope of housing loan is immense

due to increasing population, shortage of dwelling units, prevailing rate of interest,

substantial tax benefits available to borrower, economic prosperity and increase in purchasing

power of the people, large, middle income group in the country etc. Considering huge

untapped market potential there is a great opportunity in housing loan segment.

Housing loans are of large tenure during which the borrower are susceptible to risk of death

due to accident, ill health or other natural causes in such unfortunate events the serving of

housing loan will depend upon the financial capacity of the dependents of the deceased

borrower. If the dependents cannot service the loan in time, it is likely that account turn into

NPA forcing the bank to initiate to take legal action to take recovery. This can prove lethal

for family; hence insurance scheme with insurance companies can be taken.

Loans in India have made everything accessible to the people. Comprising mainly of the

middle class, Indian society found certain commodities unaffordable to buy in one go.

But with the advent of the loans facilities in India, bank loans available on easy loan schemes

along with quick 24-hr loans, things that were considered luxuries for the rich have found

their way into the hands of the masses. Everything is available on easy EMI payment system.

An EMI loan calculator helps to estimate the per month payment that would be required topay to the finance company. The term of repayment of the loan taken is also according to

customers choice and convenience.

prices. Today, we find considerable Real Estate Investment in India, either in the field of

Residential Property in India or Commercial Properties in India. Home Loans in India are

Financial Services in India. Real Estate Consultants in India usually recommend that we

1.2.4 HOME LOAN PROCESS

It is a systematic process where a loan application file goes through the hands of many

experienced employees of HDFC. The applicant has to submit the original or photocopies of

a few documents; he also has to correctly fill and give certain forms to state his requirements

very clearly and to also communicate the information demanded by HDFC.

1.2.4.A STAGES OF HOME LOAN

STAGE 1: FILLING UP OF APPLICATION FORM

20


20/27

This is the first and foremost step in the process of Home Loan. The applicant is required to

fill the Application Form. It should be signed by the applicant and co-applicant. If any

amendment is to be made, it should be made in front of the appraiser only. The application

reaches the concerned Service Centre. Here all the documents in the application are reviewed

by the experienced staff present at the service centre. The HDFC employee who reviews the

file checks to see whether all documents are present and in their proper place .He checks if

the documents are duly filled, not fake, attested by authority in question and present in

order .In case any document is missing the applicant is contacted electronically or by mail

.The applicant is contacted by telephone and requested for the document until he denies it

being with him. This exercise is called FOLLOW UP. The credit appraisal of the loan

application starts at this stage. The service centre employees compute the gross salary, IIR,

FOIR, Loan Eligibility ratio etc. The credit worthiness of the applicant is calculated here.

The process of Credit Appraisal involves the calculation of two important ratios

Income to Installment ratio

Loan Eligibility ratio

However ahead of that we need to compute the actual salary we are going to consider

for Appraisal. Along with that we will compute the deductions that need to be

reduced from the Salary.

Step (i)

The income slip of the applicant has many components. Firstly, calculate the GROSS

SALARY of the applicant. It is the simple process of adding the various incomes and /or

earning of the applicant how ever in HDFC the main aim is to provide convince to the

customer through every stage. Hence a special procedure is used you will add various

standard and uniform components that means that in the calculation of gross salary

We shall consider 100 % of these components. this is because these earning will always be a

part of his take home pay package .hence they are going to always be a fix constituent of his

repayment capacity. After we have added to fixed components we will search for those items

that do not appear as standard components in the income slip of current three months. These

can be:

A. Regular items

21


21/27

These items are present in all the income slips .how ever their amount is variable. This is

because they are linked to performance or their amount depends upon the discretion of the

employer. E.g. additional HRM, vehicle allowance etc.

We first calculate the average amount of these items. we then divide this average amount by

two. This is because they are variable components of the repayment capacity.

Profit allowance OR some other = average of three months

2

B. Non Regular items

These items are not present in all income slips. At HDFC for sake of the applicant these items

are not considered to be affecting the repayment capacity of the applicant, the only affect is

temporary.

Step (ii)

This step is the calculation of

1. Income to installment ratio.

2. Fixed obligation to installment ratio.

INCOME TO INSTALLMENT RATIO (IIR)

The ration reveals the available repayment capacity that HDFC can consider from the gross

salary of the applicant

IIR = EMI X 100

NET INCOME

The percentage reveled in this calculation tells us what amount of gross salary the applicant

has ,to repay HDFC loan IIR should lie between 35% to 50%.Only a very good profile will

allow a person with IIR of above 50% to be consider for a loan

FIXED OBLIGATION TO INSTALLMENT RATIO (FOIR)

22


22/27

This ratio is an extended form of IIR. The nature of information revealed by this ratio is the

same as IIR.

However this ratio also shows the effect of the various obligations/liabilities on the

repayment capacity of the applicant.

FOIR = EMI+OBLIGN * 100

GROSS INCOME

It should also lie between 35 to 50% .however in the case of a good profile there is a positive

effect on FOIR same as IIR. If we are calculating FOIR then we dont need to calculate IIR

Step (iii)

LOAN ELIGIBILITY RATIO (LER)

This is the most important and significant ratio that will reveal the maximum amount of loan

that can be sanctioned to the applicant. It is the ration of the salary to be considered for

repayment of the loan and the EMI per one lakh of the loan amount. The amount of the loan

demanded by the applicant in the term for which it has been demanded must both fall with in

the permissible limits as shown by the loan eligibility ratio.

LER= (GROSS SALARY *45%)-OBLIGATIONS

EMI PER 1 LAKH OF AMOUNT

The next and important processing performed at the service center is that of filling up a

document known as the INTERVIEW SHEET for processing individual loans. Hence the

interview sheet contains the important findings which the employee has collected after

careful review of the various documents the interview sheet help to cut corners and help save

time by not having other invoice employee to go through the document again and again. It

hence acts as a source of quick reference.

STAGE 2: LOGIN

23


23/27


24/27

8. Customer references

STAGE 4: FIELD CREDIT INVESTIGATION (FCI)

It has been a very useful credit check that helps verify credentials and information given by

customer on his occupation/residence.

MODES:

INTERNAL MODE

Telecheck: Call employer and residence FCR prepared on the basis of visit by HDFC Staff to

business premises/residence address.

EXTERNAL MODE

Outsource Agencies like ONICRA, INFOTECH ETC.

Kinds of verification

1. Nature of business

2. Level of business activity seen

3. No. of employees

4. Operations and existence of company

5. Facilities provided and internal dcor

Residence verification

1. Assets seen(consumers durables included)

2. Internal dcor

3. Accessibility to address

4. Residing since how many years

5. Nature of ownership status-rented/owned etc.

6. Salary verification

7. Income tax Reports(ITR) verification

8. Rent deed verification

STAGE 5: RECOMMENDATION OVER (ROVR)

25


25/27

The Recommendation Over is also referred to as the first appraisal. At this stage certain

specially appointed persons have been given the responsibility of recommending a loan.

These people have to take special care of reviewing every document, and all the small details

that need to be considered before recommending the loan application to be valid. At the time

of recommendation, the appraiser needs to check the following:

Detail Data should be complete.

KYC norms should be complete

Bank details are updated

CIBIL is run

CVR is updated

Finances are updated

After this the file is sent to another specially appointed person as explained below. At this

stage if any correction or mistake is present it can be sent back to the service center or to the

related desk.

STAGE 6: DOUBLE CHECKING OVER (DCOV)

As the name suggests at this stage a specially appointed person will double check all the past

proceedings. He will examine the Loan file for any discrepancies, any missing and/or

Misplaced documents, the credit appraisal results, etc.

This is very important stage and must be handled with exceptional care. This is because a

mistake at this stage can cause a great loss to the company. The Double checker is

responsible for the ultimate sanctioning of the loan. If any mistake is done at this stage there

is no going back and hence no protection. HDFC takes great care while appointing double

checkers. They should have completed a selected number of years with the company and

should have shown exemplary performance and must possess experience.

STAGE 7: SANCTIONING (SANC)

An authorized sanctioning authority will go through the recommended loan amount and will

calculate again considering the two ratios:

IIR (Income to installment ratio)

26


26/27

FOIR (Fixed obligation to income ratio)

If it matches with the already calculated amount, then recommended amount is passed. It

means the loan is sanctioned for the same amount. If there is any difference, then

recommended loan amount will be affected. In sanctioning, an offer letter is created and

signed by both the parties (HDFC and applicant).the original copy of the letter is to be kept

by HDFC and duplicate copy is to be handed over to the applicant. In other words

sanctioning means clear the screen.

STAGE 8: DISBURSEMENT

It is the last stage in the process

Points to be kept in mind before making disbursement

All the terms and conditions are fulfilled

There is no pendency left to be cleared

The process of fixing includes the following:

1. Loan Agreement

2. Promissory Note

3. Disbursement Memo

Loan agreement: It is prepared at the time of fixing. The original copy is kept with the bank

and duplicate is given to the applicant. The loan agreement is attached in the file

Promissory note: It includes a written contract between HDFC and the applicant and

contains details regarding the amount to be disbursed at a given rate of interest.

Disbursement Memo: It includes the details of the cheque which has been fixed, property

address and effective date of disbursement.

When all the above mentioned steps are duly complied with the loan is finally disbursed.

STAGE 9: FOLLOW UP

27


27/27

A person who does not pay his EMI on time is called a Defaulter. Now recovery department

becomes active. The recovery officers can know these customers through ORACLE software.

After taking the data of defaulters, the first and foremost action is telle-calling. This is also

called soft calling as these defaulters may have some genuine reasons. It is done by call

centre employees. If the person does not pay the EMI even after tele-calling, then the junior

field officers personally visits the customer. If they are not able to solve, then senior field

officers handles the case. Even after all this, if the customer does not pay the EMI, then legal

action will be taken. There are three ways:

1) Cheque bouncing under section 138.

2) Criminal suit/money suit/recovery suit.

3) Surfacing.
