India has a large population and vast land size, a diverse culture and extreme disparities in income, which are marked among its regions. There are high levels of illiteracy among a large percentage of its population but, at the same time, the country has a large reservoir of managerial and technologically advanced talents. Between 30 and 35 percent of the population reside in metro and urban cities and the rest i.e.70 to 65 percent is spread in vast semi-urban and rural geographical area. The country’s economic policy framework combines socialistic and capitalistic features with heavy bias towards public sector investment. India has followed the path of growth-led exports rather than export led growth the path which has been opted by many other developing countries. These features are reflected on the structure, size and diversity of the country’s financial and banking sector. The banking system has had to serve the goals of economic policies implemented by the government in the form of five year development plans, these plans are mostly concerned with equal distribution of income, literacy, elimination of unemployment and private sector monopolies in trade and industry. In order for the banking industry to serve as an instrument of state policy, it was subjected to various nationalization schemes in different phases (1955, 1969 and 1980). As a result, banking remained internationally isolated because of pre-occupations with domestic priorities, especially massive branch expansion and attracting more people to the banking system. Bank accepting the payments from the public & lending the loans to the public, without a complete and successful saving cash system in India it can't have a strong economy. The supervision a record course of action of India should be sans trouble alongside it should have the ability to meet new challenges posed by the advancement and some other outside and internal segments. As far back as three decades India's supervision a record structure has a couple of exceptional achievements amazingly. The greatest remarkable is its expansive compass. This one is not any more kept to simply subjects in India. Frankly, Indian keeping cash structure has come level to the remote corners of the country. This is one of the essential 4 reasons of India's advancement process. The organization's general game plan for Indian banks taking after 1969 has financed benefits with the nationalization of fourteen banks in India. Chapter 1 Theoretical Background of the Study Home Loan is an important service rendered by the Bank to its customers. Means each and every bank grants of Home Loan to its customer for the determination of meeting their needs and wants. Home Loan plays a vital part in earning and net profit of the bank. Granting of Home Loan is an important function of all the banks. Such Home Loan are given to the customers & to business communities at a greater amount of interest. The banks are charging the amount of interest depend on the loan amount received from the bank & the period of loan or based on maturity period. Banks receiving interest on loans, and through this process banks are gaining income. Now a day’s loan is playing crucial role to the people. It means for doing everything need money, for example for doing business need huge money and middle level people cannot arrange huge money within span of time at that time they apply for the loan in any bank and they can do business. Loan taken for more than one year, such kind of loans called as Term loan. And if loan is given for period from one year to five years, it is called as medium-term loan. Long term loans means loans taken for more than five years, such kind of loans called as long term loans. Meaning of Loan:A credit is taken into account a specific timeframe. Overall business banks give transient advances. Regardless, term credits, i.e., progresses for over a year may in like manner be permitted. The borrower may be given the entire aggregate in solitary sum or in partitions. Credits are the most extreme part surrendered against the security of particular assets. A progress is regularly repaid in parcels. In any case, it may in like manner be repaid in solitary sum. Types of loans:- 1) HOME LOAN House purchase loan Home construction loan Land purchase loan 5 Home extension loan 2) Personal loan 3) Vehicle/car loan 4) Business loan 5) Gold loan Procedure for issuing housing loan: → Validation of information → Issue of Sanction letter → Submission of Documents → Validation of property → Validation of property → Payment procedure Principles a banker should follow before granting Home Loans 1. Liquidity: Liquidity is the important principle a banker must follow before giving way Home Loan. Liquidity means ready convertibility of advances into the cash for the persistence of meet the customers demand across the counter. Before granting loans banker should bear in mind that easily exchangeable into cash without loss. So, banker should make loan only for short term nature. 2. Profitability:Profitability is the key intention off all the business. In banking part also the main intention of lending Home Loan is to make some profit on Home Loan, Banks earning the profit through interest rates on Home Loan. So, banker should follow this principle before granting Home Loan. 3. Safety:Banker must consider about the safety while lending Home Loan to customers. Safety is also an important principle for lending Home Loan because some of the customer will not refund the loans. So, banks should give loans to people who will repay the loan honestly. 4. Object/Purpose: The purpose mentioned for granting advances is ensuring the settlement of the Home Loan. Bank should know for what purpose the customer is pleasing loan because if he advances 6 for unproductively purposes like consumer credit, speculation etc. in this situation the customer cannot repay the loans. 5. Yield: In simple term yield is nothing but return. Before granting the Home Loan the banks must consider about the returns on loans. It is an important principle that banks should follow before giving way Home Loan. Yield from the safety can be utilized in settlement of the interest and the due principle from the customer. 6. Security: Another important principle should follow while lending Home Loan is security. When the banker advances without security, he will run the rise of losing the money. The banker should lend Home Loan to the customer with tangible security. If not banker will be in trouble that customer will delay for repayment. 7. Validity of Time: For lending Home Loan also validity time is important because the banker need sure that the customer had effective label to the tangible security offered against the bank advance. 8. Capital resources of the borrower: Capital resources of the borrower are the important principle that banker must survey before allowing Home Loan. Credit worth of the mortgagor is important factor to be considered before granting/lending Home Loan because capital denotes the financial situation of the customer. 9. Sources of repayment: Banker should verify the sources of the customer for the persistence of repayment because customer should refund the loan aggregate to the banks. It is an important principle that banker must monitor before lending Home Loan. Customer should have some sources for repayment, than only banks lend loans to customers. 10. Documentation: Before granting the loans the banks should take the security against Home Loan. Without security like property documents etc. the banks must not provide loans because if the customer couldn’t repay loans means the banker can sell that property and take money back. So, banker should also see that all the necessary forms are submitted or not. 7 Chapter 2 Industry Profile & Company Profile Banking Bank accepting the payments from the public & lending the loans to the public, without a complete and successful saving cash system in India it can't have a strong economy. The supervision a record course of action of India should be sans trouble alongside it should have the ability to meet new challenges posed by the advancement and some other outside and internal segments. As far back as three decades India's supervision a record structure has a couple of exceptional achievements amazingly. The greatest remarkable is its expansive compass. This one is not any more kept to simply subjects in India. Frankly, Indian keeping cash structure has come level to the remote corners of the country. This is one of the essential reasons of India's advancement process.

Evolution of the Indian Banking Industry The Indian Banking Industry has its foundation in the 18th century and has had a varied evolutionary experience since then. The initial banking in India were primarily traders’ banks engaged only in financing activities. Banking industry in the pre-independence era developed with the Presidency bank, which were transformed into Imperial Bank of India and subsequently into the State Bank of India. The initial days of the industry saw a majority private ownership and a highly volatile work environment. Major strides towards public ownership and accountability were made with nationalization in 1969 and 1980 which transformed the face of banking in India. The industry in recent times has recognized the importance of private and foreign players in a competitive scenario and has moved towards great liberalization. The primary bank in India, however moderate, was built up in 1786. From 1786 till today, the adventure of Indian banking system can be divided into three distinctive stages. Stage I 8 In 1786, the General Bank of India was built up in India and after that Bank of Hindustan and bank of Bengal was set up in India. East India Company set up Bank of Bengal in 1809 and Bank of Bombay in 1840 and Madras bank in 1843 as free units and called it Presidency Banks. These banks were participated in 1920 and Imperial Bank stayed set up. Which began as private banks, generally Europeans investors? In1865 Allahabad Bank remained created and most reliable time only ➢ PHASE 1 PRENATIONALIZATION PHASE ➢ PHASE 2 ERA OF NATIONALISATION AND CONSOLIDATION ➢ PHASE 3 INTRODUCTIONS OF INDIANFINANCIAL AND BANKING SECTOR REFORMS AND PARTIAL LIBERALISATION ➢ PHASE 4 PERIOD OF LIBERALISATION AND GLOBALISATION By methods for Indians, Punjab National Bank Ltd. stayed set up in 1894 with home office at Lahore. Some place around 1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and so forth was built up. RBI began in 1935. Amid the important stage the change was immediate and banks likewise experienced unpredictable disillusionments some place around 1913 and 1948. There were around 1100 banks all things considered slight. To streamline the working and exercises of business banks, the Government of India thought of The Banking Act, 1949. Spare Bank of India stayed relegated with expansive administrations for the rule of sparing cash in India as the Central Banking Power. Amid those day's open has lesser trust in banks. As a repercussions store plan was direct. One beside the other of it store holds bank office gave by the Postal office was for the most part more secure. Also, bolsters were, everything considered and given to merchants. Stage II Government ventured in this Indian Banking Division Change after opportunity. In 1955 it national Imperial Bank of India through expansive sparing cash workplaces on a tremendous scale especially in nation and semi-urban reaches. It formed State Bank of India go about as the central administrators of RBI and to deal with sparing cash trades of the Union and State Governments wherever all through the country. Seven banks molding helper of State Bank of India remained nationalized in 1960 on nineteenth July, 1969, methodology of nationalization3was finished. It was the effort of than Prime Minister of India Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Fourteen business banks in country were nationalized. Second time nationalization of Indian Banking Division was changed in 1980 with 7 more 9 banks. This walk brought about 80% of the sparing cash segment in India under the Government ownership. The going with the steps involved by means of Indian government to Regulate Banking Institutions within Country In 1949 managing an account direction act authorized, and 1961: Insurance spread contacted stores and nationalized of fourteen banks in 1969, finally in 1980 nationalized of 7 noteworthy saves money with stores in excess of 200crores. Stage III This stage has shown different more things and work environments in the dealing with a record zone in its movements measure. In 1991in the chairmanship of M Narasimham a main leading body of trustees stayed settled by his name which worked for the progression of dealing with records. The nation is flooded with remote banks and their ATM stations. Tries are being put to give a charming association to clients. Telephone sparing money and net sparing money is shown. The entire structure ended up being more favorable and snappy. Time is set additional centrality than money. The cash related action of India demonstrated a huge amount of value. It is shielded from any emergency incited by any outside macroeconomics stun as other East Asian Countries drove forward. This is because of an adaptable change scale association, the remote stores are high, the capital record isn't yet absolutely convertible, and banks and their clients have constrained outside trade. Stage IV Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) are Indian Scheduled Commercial Banks (Government Banks) operating at regional level in different States of India. They have been created with a view of serving primarily the rural areas of India with basic banking and financial services. However, RRBs may have branches set up for urban operations and their area of operation may include urban areas too.

These are the additional documents which are required to be looked at before going on for completing the pre sanction formalities with respect to dispersing of the home loans to the business class. THE PARAMETERS INVOLVED IN HOUSING LOAN EVALUATION There are a number of parameters on which the housing loans are built: They are: 1. TENURE The tenure of the home loan refers to the time limit for a customer to repay the loan Generally, the maximum tenure of home loans is 20 years, with a few lenders offering tenure of 20 years or more (ICICI has recently launched a 30 years loan). The longer the tenure, more a customer pays in total interest, but monthly payments will be less. So depending on the earning potential and bank balance of the customer, an appropriate can be chose. An important requirement of most banks/ HFIs is that they pay up the entire loan before you retire. The customer can always prepay the entire loan amount before it is due. As long as the tenure goes up a customer pays more interest which is up to 0.25 – 0.5%, generally above the home loan rates. 2. AMOUNT PAID BY THE FINANCER/ MARGIN REQUIREMENTS The financer does not pay the entire amount of the loan, they request the customer to maintain margin, most banks go in for an 85% funding of the property value including the stamp duty 26 and charges, and it however varies among various banks. This is also treated as the margin money or own contribution required to be put by the prospective loan seeker as the contribution towards the purchase of the house. Most HFIs believe the amount paid is upfront before they release any disbursement. As a rule of thumb, depending upon the HFC, the prospective loan seeker has to cough up 15% - 20% of the loan amount as a down payment. For smaller amounts, this may not be much. But for figures running into lacks, this could make loads of difference. For example: An apartment costing Rs. 10lacss may get 85 per cent financing. So, customer has to arrange for the remaining Rs 1.5lacs. Some banks however make way for the payment for 90% of financing and about 100% financing for some new projects, however they are subjected to a large number of factors and constrains. 3. INTEREST RATES Without doubt the most important parameter to factor into home loan calculations. The interest rates may vary from institutions to institutions and generally range from about 7.25% - 7.75% to around 9% Repayment is in the form of EMIs (Equated Monthly installments). The longer the tenure, the more you pay in interest, but your monthly payment will be less. The two kinds of interest rates available to a customer are: • Fixed interest rates • Floating interest rates Fixed interest rates remain fixed over the tenure of the loan. Floating interest rates are affected by the rates in the market, they fluctuate according to the rates issued or changed by the RBI from time to time. The finance minister’s diktat on home loans does not hold for private banks. India’s largest home loan provider and second largest bank — ICICI Bank —on Tuesday hiked its home loan by 1%. The bank has also increased its deposit rates. As per the new rate structure, customer will have to pay 10.5% on the home loans with a floating rate, while the fixed home loan will now invite an interest of 12.5%. With this increase, the monthly installment on an Rs.1lakh loan for 20 years goes up by Rs70. Some public sector banks do so only once in 12 months while some private sector lenders do 27 it as frequently as a quarter. Though the current interest rate quote maybe lower, over the life of the loan, a customer will be able saved more in the case of a lender who resets your floating rate more frequently. The investors are also given the option of changing their option from fixed rate loan to a floating rate loan, of course by paying a penalty. 4. MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES: All banks charge certain amount of processing fee which cannot be ignored, it should be understood that along with monthly payments, the customer should also ensure that he has to pay these charges, so he should careful in choosing his HFC. Miscellaneous charges generally range around 2.5% to 3%. A 1% administration fee and 0.8% processing fee on, say RS. 5, 00,000 loan, would amount to RS 10.000. Other times, it could be just one fee (either administration or processing) but could yet work out to be much more if it is considerably higher at, say, 2.5 per cent or 3 per cent. The various other fees, which you are required to be paid along with the margin amount, are: a) Processing fee: It’s a fee payable to the lender on applying for a loan. It is either a fixed amount not linked to the loan or may also be a percentage of the loan amount. The loan amount received by customer can be less than the processing fee. It is charged at the submission of the application form and covers expenses incurred for processing the application form. b) Prepayment Penalties: When a loan is paid back before the end of the agreed duration a penalty is charged by some banks/companies, which is usually between 1% and 2% of the amount being pre-paid. c) Administrative Fees: An administrative fee is charged by the HFI on the loan amount sanctioned to customer. This fee is normally payable at a time of accepting the offer letter. It is charged mainly to meet the operating expenses of the loan amount of the entire tenure. d) Others: It is quite possible that some lenders may levy a documentation or consultant charge. In case of ICICI Bank the processing fee is 0.25% of the loan amount and the administrative fee is approximately 0.50% of the loan amount. 28 5. AMORTISATION It means the method or the calculation by way of which the entire Principal amount/loan amount is paid through the tenure of the loan. This helps the customer to know what his outstanding principal is at any point of time. There are two methods generally followed: • Annual rests • Monthly rests Annual rests: This is more commonly known as annual reducing balance of the principal/loan amount lent to you. In an annual rest the EMIs (fixed monthly payment for the dispersal of the loan amount) are calculated on an annual basis. The component of interest is higher in the initial years and later on the component of principal increases and the interest keeps reducing year after years. In other words, the interests in the EMI will keep reducing year after year and the principal component keeps increasing. Monthly rests: This is called monthly reducing balance or principal. The calculation in the above method remains the same as of the above except that the balance is calculated on a monthly basis and the EMI is broken up every month to arrive at the opening balance of the principal for the next month. It is always better for a customer to seek an HFI, which generally has monthly rests, based system; this will reduce the amount of interest paid by the customer. Many banks have adopted to the monthly rests system. 6. REPAYMENT FACILITY The bank has given three options for repayment of the loan to suit the convenience of Borrower. Equated Monthly Installments (EMI) uniform monthly installment, inclusive of interest, for the entire repayment of only interest for the first five years, and thereafter in EMI for the next 10 years. Repayment of only interest in the first five years, 30% principal plus interest in the next five years, and balance 70% plus interest in the remaining period. Repayment to start on completion of construction, but not later than 18 months from first 29 disbursement and in case built up houses after one month from disbursement. Interest during gestation shall be paid as & when due. The repayment not to extend beyond the age of retirement of the borrower or 70 years whichever is earlier, however where co-borrower is taken, a maximum repayment period of 20 years may be considered provided the loan is liquidated within the age of 70 years of the borrower/ co-borrower having capacity to service the loan. THE LOAN PROCEDURE FOLLOWED AT ICICI BANK The procedures involve in the disbursement of home loan by any bank entails the following steps: • Home loan application form is first submitted by the customer covering all details. • Checklist of requirements is requested for from the customer, and all documents are required to be submitted (copies), they are then verified whether the details are failed in correctly and whether all the documents are submitted. • Additional loans, if any are applicable. Many banks provide for supplementary loan as a part of their comprehensive home loan scheme. 30 The following diagram indicates the loan procedure at the bank Customer Branch manager Loan Department Legal opinion, valuation And Technical Branch manager For large borrows Regional Officer RISK CAPTURING MECHANISM One of the important aspects in the home loan financing is to ensure that the loan seeker is worthy and credible. ICICI follows the credit score model to male home loan disbursements. Credit score model is a risk capturing mechanism, which is used to assess the risk perspective of the loan seekers. The prospective loan seeker is assessed on a number of parameters which helps in the evaluation of his profile and each parameter is assigned a score based on which the decision is taken. A score of 100 is fixed, and a score of 75 is considered to be good, score of 55 is considered above average and score of 25 to be average. The prospective loan seeker on a scale of 100 is expected to get 55 avail the home loan. The parameters on which risk is assessed are: 31 1.

The various parameters of the credit score model and their respective weights are depicted in the following chart. Parameters in the model AM 10% IM 50% SC 15% DM 15% Ricici 10% The abbreviations of the above term are: DM – Demographic profile RICICI – Relationship with the ICICI IM – Income Module SC – Stability and Continuity SCRUTINY OF THE DOCUMENTS The retail processing is a procedure, which involves careful scrutiny of accounts. ICICI Bank uses a specialized system to go through the accounts, before dispersing the loan to the customer. The basic groups set up in the process of loan application are: RETAIL MANAGER ENTERER GROUP: This group does the data entry. Upon completion of the data entry the group forwards the same to the RM Verifier group to verify and resends it to the former in case of tiny discrepancies for 33 editing. The Loan officer enterer group and the RM Verifier group should ensure, confirm and verify the following: • The organization is in the appropriate list. • The organization is not in the negative list • The property location is not in the negative list.

The RM should ensure from the field investigation agency in case of Residence and reference (Tele-check) The details in the report should match with the information given in the home loan application form. IT-Return: It should be tallied as per the office records. The manager RM shall make a tele-check to cross verify the investigation made by the agency in case, for the salaried applicants where the disbursement is greater than 10 lacks and in case of the businessman where the disbursement is greater than 10 lacks. 2. LEGAL FEASIBILITY The bank should arrange for the legal opinion. 35 The manager RM should forward it to the bank’s empanelled lawyer various documents for scrutiny. Some of the documents required for the scrutiny by the lawyer are: • Sale agreement duly registered • Own contribution receipts • Allotment letter • Land documents indicating ownership, if applicable registration receipt • Possession letter • Lease agreement, if applicable (Property bought from a development authority) • No objection certificate from the developer, society or development authority. • In case of the construction of the house the agreement of construction of the house between the land owner and the contractor.

Newgen document imaging system is introduced to facilitate electronic transmission of documents for processing of proposals by RM. • It facilitates scanning and maintenance of scanned images. 37 • It also provides the provision of linking the documents if the same document is required for multiple loans • Provisions to make remarks, on the document without disturbing the original. • Scanned images can be attached to any mail This facilitates easy transmission of data and other documents and also provides the flexibility in loan processing and helps in fast transmission of data, these all advantages helps in easy disbursement of loans. THE INNOVATIVE LOAN CONCEPTS 1. THE CONCEPT OF SURF The new concept of SURF is the step up repayment facility, it is a scheme provided to young professionals who have just begun their careers, considering that their repayment capacity will increase steadily in the near future. The scheme increases the repayment capacity of a customer, his loan eligibility increases as it considers the increase in income of the customer over the next few years. Corporation bank has introduced this SURF concept in its home loan scheme. Corporation Bank has introduced ‘Corp Flexi Home Loan’ a variant of the housing loan with attractive feature of Progressive Monthly Installment (PMI) i.e. Repayment linked to increase in future salary earnings. The scheme provides for “step-up installment facility” under Corp Home Scheme. The CorpFlexi scheme is offered with two options. Option1: The borrower can opt for higher quantum of loan (130% of eligible amount under the normal scheme) as per the present income criteria with a provision to pay the installments based on current income initially and gradually increases over the latter part of repayment period. Option 2: The loan shall be considered as per applicant’s normal eligibility with a provision to pay lower installments initially (70% of the normal EMI) and installments are stepped up in the later part of the repayment period. 38 2. THE HOME SAVER LOANS Home Saver is a revolutionary new concept in home loans designed to save you interest thereby letting you pay off your loan faster. The Standard Charted bank offers a special home loan named the “home saver advantage”, the home saver advantage, where the interest rates vary from 7.75 per cent to 8 per cent. Every month, all you need to do is deposit your surplus funds, be it your salary or other savings into Home Saver, instead of letting them lie idle in different accounts. All this money then works towards reducing you interest payable because the deposits automatically reduce the balance outstanding on which the interest is calculated on a daily basis. So, more the number of days you place your savings into Home Saver, greater is the interest saving. There is also continuous access to your funds 24 hours a day with the globally valid ATM cum debit card. The loan taker should maintain a deposit account with the bank to avail the home saver advantage. Unique Features of the home saver: • Freedom to save more • Freedom to reduce your loan period • Freedom to access your money – anytime, anywhere Home Saver is currently available in Bangalore, Chennai, and Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and pune. Freedom to save more: With Home Saver, there is more to save than a normal low-cost home loan. Because interest is calculated on your daily balance, you can reduce your interest cons substantially even if your surplus savings are in the account for only a day. For each day that your outstanding balance reduces, you pay less interest for that day. 39 Since that’s interest saved not earned, you save on taxes that you would otherwise pay on your interest earned! Freedom to reduce your loan period: Home Saver gives you the flexibility and freedom to make excess payments so that you can reduce the duration of your loan anytime, without penalties. Freedom to access money – Anytime, Anywhere: You have the flexibility of depositing and withdrawing cash just as you would your normal bank account. Home Saver comes with a globally valid ATM-cum-Debit card, which allows you free to access to your money from over 2000 ATMs across the country Anytime Anywhere. FLEXI-SAVINGS ACCOUNT Citibank also offers a flexi-savings account to reduce your cost of borrowing. The bank will automatically open a Saving Account from which you can give standing instructions to deduct the EMI payments for the loan. You can then prepay the loan at any point in time and be given instant credit for the same, in case you get a large lump-sum annual bonus from your employer. Should you require money in an emergency at any point you can avail of an overdraft on this savings account at an interest rate that is the same as that on your Home loan. This works out much cheaper than taking an overdraft on a normal savings account. CUSTOMIZED REPAYMENT SCHEMES HDFC which has been in the home loan segment since 1977 has also introduced a host of new features to its home loan portfolio. HDFC offers Flexible (Customized) Repayment Schemes, keeping in mind the fact that each individual has a unique problem requiring unique solutions. 40 HDFC has developed various repayment options like: • Step Up Repayment Facility • Flexible Loan Installment • Balloon Payment Scheme, Where the payment in the initial years is less and the later years are more. Pari Passu/Second Mortgage Arrangements: HDFC has a tie-up with a large number of Public Sector Organizations and banks which enables us to offer loans to loan seekers with the flexibility of their spouse also having a loan from his/her own employer. 3. INCREASE IN THE TENURE PERIOD OF THE HOME LOANS The home loans are provided for the period of 5 years to 20 years period. ICICI is the first of its kind to introduce the home loan scheme for a 20-year period. ICICI has been the largest private sector bank of the country. It has introduced the concept of providing home loans for a 20-year tenure. This 20year tenure home loan is available at only fixed rates of interest. This interest rate structure for the 20-year tenure period for ICICI home loans is as follows: Tenor Floating Rates Fixed Rates Upto Rs.10 lakhs Upto Rs.10 lakhs 7.25% 8.25% Above 5 years, but less 7.75% 8.75% Home Loans Band A B C 1 to 5 years than 10 years Above 10 years, but 8.00% 9.00% less than 20 years 41 HOME LOAN FACILITIES WITH VARIOUS ADD-ON BENEFITS The banks have buckled for the completion of the home loan products by providing various add-on benefits, which has also become a key factor in the competitive era of home loans. The banks have also tied up with various property insurance companies in order to make their home loan competitive. The ABN-AMRO bank which has entered the home loan segment in October 2003, launched its product “All Smiles Home Loans” with the lowest interest rate of 6 percent in the first year and 6.5 per cent in the second year has added a number of value added services like: • SMS alert to help the customers keep track of their loan sanctions and disbursement status. • The bank also offers its smart Gold credit card to the borrowers and concessional rates on personal loans and auto loans. GIC housing finance limited has offered the consumer loans for the purchase of home equipment at the same rates of interest at the of the home loans and lower than the other consumer loans. The tenure of consumer loans is restricted to the tenure of 5 years. Many banks have also done away with the guarantor for provision of home loans for amount less than RS.10 lakes, like HSBC housing loan scheme, ICICI bank. THE FUTURE OF HOME LOANS OUTLOOK: In the last 3-4 years the retail finance disbursements are estimated to have increased at CAGR of over 30 per cent to RS. 250 million in the year of 2001-02. The yield in the housing fiancé is estimated at about 11-12 per cent. With the operating costs and credit losses of 0.5-0.8 percentage points and 0.1 – 0.5 percentage points respectively. The net margin in the business is expected to be at around 1-1.5 per cent. Total direct housing disbursements is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2401 per cent during the period 2001-02 to 2006-07 period, to RS. 734.92 billion. 42 The market share of HFCs is set to decline from 5902 per cent to 5401 per cent. The market shares of the banks are expected to increase from 3408 per cent to 41.4 per cent during the period. THE FUTURE OF MARKET PLAYERS The major players in the home loan market are HFCs and the commercial banks and the scheduled commercial banks. In 2001-02, the incremental disbursements of housing finance companies is estimated have increased by over 17.3 per cent. The disbursement of leading HFCs has increased over the previous years like HDFC, Can find homes, over the previous year. However the incremental disbursements of smaller and medium size HFCs have declined by 3.9 percent, Due to: • Increased competition from the banks • Lower availability of low cost funds • Tightening interest spreads The banks aggregate market share of all the banks, in incremental direct disbursement has increased by 10.1 per cent, to 34.8 per cent. The growth has been largely driven by the cost advantages of banks over HFCs and lower credit off-take from the corporate segment The banks have the advantage over the HFCs because of the access to lower cost retail funds (savings deposits). The banking sector every year gets about 400 – 450 billion in savings and demand/current deposits, out of which around 75-80 percent is considered core float and are largely long term in nature. 43 This indicates the scope of increase in disbursements by the banks without significant maturity mismatch risks in comparison to the disbursement by the housing finance industry.
