Save interest with DHFL home loan

DHFL is the second largest housing finance corporation (HFC) in India and provides the loan to customers for home renovation, purchase, and home extension. It promises simplified documentation and speedy approvals to avail a home loan. DHFL also offers lucrative interest rate to the borrowers on home loans. Here are some of the advantages of taking a DHFL home loan:


1. Leniency in your credit score: DHFL generally shows leniency while calculating your credit score. DHFL has been known to approve home loans for credit scores as low as 640. Most banks, on the other hand, are quite rigorous in their requirement of a 750+ CIBIL score before approving the loan.

2. Lenient about document requirement: DHFL is one of the few loan providers which disburses home loans even when the customer does not have access to all the required documents. For example, DHFL approves home loans without Occupancy Certificate which is generally demanded by the other loan providers.

3. Higher loan eligibility: Your loan eligibility is calculated on the basis of your income, credit score, previous loans, etc. It refers to the maximum amount that a lender is willing to give you. DHFL offers a higher loan eligibility as compared with banks for the same customer profile.

4. Lucrative interest rates: DHFL home loan interest rates are in the range of 8.70% to 9.90%, with special discounted rates for a specific category of borrowers. For example: For women borrowers, the bank offers the lowest interest rate of 8.70%. So, if you want a lower interest rate, opt for DHFL home loans.
