Lender’s Appraisal Procedure
The lender's appraisal procedure ensures that a borrower's request for a home loan is viable and secured. This includes evaluating repayment capacity, the property's legality, market value, and documentation compliance.
Application Form
The borrower submits a loan application with personal, income, and property details.
Documents to be Submitted
- Identity proof and address proof
- Income proof (Salary slips, ITRs)
- Bank statements
- Title deed of property
- Property valuation and legal reports
Loan Application Received Through Agent
Applications sourced by agents require additional due diligence to prevent misrepresentation or fraud.
Appraisal of Loan Request
This involves evaluating:
- Income and repayment capacity (DSCR, EMI/NMI ratio)
- Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio
- Past credit behavior (CIBIL report)
Other Relevant Pre-sanction Issues
- Verification of employment
- Site visits
- Verification of property documents through advocates
Documentation and Mortgage
Documents must be executed, stamped, and registered. Equitable or registered mortgage is created for the bank's security.
Registration of Documents
Documents such as sale deeds must be registered with the sub-registrar's office to ensure legal enforceability.
Detection of Forged or Fabricated Title Deeds
Legal opinion and search reports from advocates help detect forgery. Banks use forensic tools and title trace reports to validate documents.
Other Securities
Additional securities may include life insurance, fixed deposits, or guarantor support to enhance loan security.
Registration of Charges with CERSAI
The Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest (CERSAI) is used to record charges against properties to prevent multiple financing of the same asset.
Monitoring and Closure
Loan accounts are monitored for repayment regularity, end-use of funds, and proper insurance coverage. Closure involves releasing security documents upon full repayment.
Home Loan Frauds
Common frauds include fabrication of income documents, fake title deeds, overvaluation, and identity theft. Banks must use robust verification, digital tools, and CERSAI checks to prevent them.
Mathematical Examples (Medium-Hard)
- EMI Calculation: Loan = ₹30,00,000, Rate = 8.5% p.a., Tenure = 20 years.
EMI = ₹26,035 approx. - LTV Ratio: Property value = ₹50,00,000, Loan = ₹35,00,000.
LTV = 70% - Interest Outgo in 1st Year: EMI = ₹25,000, Total annual EMI = ₹3,00,000, Principal repaid = ₹50,000.
Interest paid = ₹2,50,000 - Prepayment Benefit: Prepay ₹5,00,000 after 5 years, EMI = ₹30,000, Tenure = 20 years.
Tenure reduces by approx. 6 years. - Eligibility Calculation: Monthly income = ₹60,000, Max EMI = 40% → ₹24,000. For 20-year loan @ 9%, eligible loan = ₹27,60,000.
- Document Registration Charges: Stamp duty = 5%, Registration = 1%, Property value = ₹45,00,000.
Total = ₹2,70,000 + ₹45,000 = ₹3,15,000 - Cost of Delayed EMI: EMI = ₹30,000, Delayed by 2 months, Penal interest @ 2% p.m.
Penalty = ₹1,200 - Loan Top-up Calculation: Original loan = ₹20,00,000, Outstanding = ₹12,00,000, Property value = ₹40,00,000, LTV limit = 75%.
Max permissible = ₹30,00,000, Additional = ₹18,00,000 (less outstanding) = ₹6,00,000 - CERSAI Charge Cost: Registration fee = ₹100 for loan < ₹5 lakh, ₹500 otherwise. Loan = ₹7 lakh → CERSAI fee = ₹500.
- Fraud Loss Estimation: Fake property financed for ₹35,00,000, resale value = ₹18,00,000.
Loss = ₹17,00,000
