Frequently Asked Questions
What is FOIR and how does it affect loan eligibility?
FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) is the maximum share of your income banks allow for EMI payments. Most banks set FOIR at 40-50%. If your salary is ₹80,000, maximum EMI obligations allowed are ₹32,000-₹40,000 including the new loan EMI.
Can I increase my home loan eligibility?
Yes. Add a co-applicant (spouse, parent) to combine incomes. Close existing loans to reduce FOIR usage. Choose a longer tenure to reduce required monthly EMI. Show additional income sources (rent, freelance) with proper documentation.
Does credit score affect loan eligibility amount?
Yes. A CIBIL score above 750 gets the best rates and higher loan amounts. A score below 650 may result in rejection or lower loan amounts at higher rates. Each bank has its own CIBIL cutoff — typically 700+ for home loans.
