Oriental Bank of Commerce Home loan Procedure 

Filling out an application form is the first step in getting a home loan. The application form is the most simple document. It requires you to include personal information such as your name, address, phone number, occupation, monthly and annual salary, and educational records. You may also provide information about the property you want to buy, the total cost of the home, and the amount of money you have available for a down payment. Please keep in mind that you must provide identification, proof of residence, income certificates, ITRs for the previous three years, financial accounts, and other documents with your submission.

 Step 2: Record verification

The bank verifies the papers you send after they have been submitted. Banks get up to two days to check your paperwork, which is vital to the home loan process. You will also be invited to visit the bank and participate in a face-to-face interview during this period. This is the bank’s way of ensuring that you will be able to repay the loan within the agreed-upon time frame.

 Step 3: Conduct a background investigation.

The bank performs an impartial background check on the borrower’s credentials in addition to checking the records. To that end, the bank could conduct an investigation based on the information you provided in the application form, such as your previous and current residential addresses, your place of employment, your employer’s credentials, office contact information, and so on.

 Step 4: Complete the free payment process

The housing loan process starts until the bank is persuaded of your ability to repay the loan. You will be required to pay a transaction fee, a sum collected by the bank to process your loan application. As payment fees, banks usually bill 0.25 per cent to 0.50 per cent of the principal loan sum plus applicable GST. Because of the investigations undertaken to verify your eligibility and the valuation and search of the proposed property, the bank charges a processing fee. This does not imply that your loan has been accepted.

 Step 5: Loan issuance procedure.

The bank now determines whether to accept or refuse your application, which is by far the most crucial step in the whole home loan process. To avoid having your loan denied, you must have all of the necessary paperwork on time. The borrower will learn the actual loan sum that the bank will accept and the interest rate that paid over different terms. The bank sends you an official authorization letter stating that your loan has been authorized, including this information.

 Step 6: Complete the property paperwork.

You must send the original property papers to the lending bank after receiving the official authorization letter accepting the loan, which will remain in the bank’s possession until the loan is fully repaid. The original property records usually contain the whole chain of ownership acquisition and transactions in order before the execution of your Sale Agreement, applicable NOCs from relevant jurisdictions, as well as the seller’s name, ID, and address evidence, among other things. Before accepting the loan, the bank verifies the property records.

 Step 7: Loan disbursal

The loan disbursement stage is the final phase in the entire housing loan process. This involves registering the loan contract, which entails the borrower/s accepting the Terms and Conditions of Sanction, signing the loan agreement/documents, and disbursing the loan according to the terms specified in the Sale Agreement, including down-payment.

The revival of the COVID-19 pandemic may also help to keep interest rates under control in the economy.

Kotak Mahindra Bank (6.65%) continues to be the lender with the lowest home loan interest rates among banks and housing finance firms. On the ranking, it is ahead of Bank of Baroda (6.75%) and Punjab National Bank (6.8%).

Know the Process and Benefits of a Home Loan Balance Transfer

A home loan is a large-ticket, long-term financial instrument that provides enough liquidity that is often repaid over ten to two years. If you are faced in a costly loan contract, it can be difficult for your finances due to the lengthy maturity period. For example, the mortgage interest rate could be far higher than what is currently available. You can do a home loan balance transfer and refinance your loan on more cost-effective terms if you find yourself with a less-than-ideal home loan and know of better alternatives.Here’s a rundown of the advantages and steps involved in resolving a home loan balance

For higher sums and increased tax incentives, apply for a joint home loan

Finding the perfect property and saving money for a down payment on a home loan are only a few of the challenges and decisions involved in fulfilling your goal of buying a home. However, several people are unable to obtain the amount of home loan they need. Any borrowers are turned down because they do not fulfil the loan eligibility requirements set out by different lenders. This is where bringing in a co-applicant will save the day. Including a co-applicant will also provide you with potential advantages.

Why are home loans with fixed interest rates too unpredictable?

The interest rate on a home loan in India is currently at its lowest level, at 6.70 per cent. Many consumers are scrambling to get their interest rates set at steady prices, as this allows for easier financial management during the loan’s initial term. This is due to the fact that homeowners can accurately predict their equated monthly instalments (EMIs) and therefore repay their home loans more quickly. Fixed-rate home loans are typically priced at a higher interest rate than floating-rate home loans and are mostly aimed at the non-resident Indian (NRI) population.
