Here’s Why Your Home Loan Application May Get Rejected

October 18, 2016

Home loans are the perfect aid to buy a house or any property for that matter. But as more and more people are getting interested in owning a land under their name, banks are getting stricter with the loan approval process. Some crucial factors may lead to rejection of your application altogether and if not a complete no-no it may get approved for a lesser amount.

So, before applying for a loan go through these factors and get your home loan approved smoothly.

1. Physical condition and age of the property

If the property you are eyeing to get a loan is not in good shape, there are chances of your loan application getting rejected. Also, if the bank valuer finds the property’s physical structure weak, then no grants will be issued on the same by the bank. Note that here age of the building is not a factor it all depends on its physical condition.

2. Age of the applicant

Banks are always more interested in approving those applications that come with a continuous surety of income flow. So, if you are nearing your retirement age getting an approval would be difficult, or you even have to settle for a little less amount then you applied.

3. Credit History

Before approving a loan to any applicant banks always does thorough credit history check. So, if you are not regular in depositing EMI’s or payment of your credit card dues your credit history is surely getting spoiled.

4. Nature of source of income

Banks are always interested in applications that are backed up with a strong and promising job that ensures a continuous flow of salary. So, if your salary is volatile and is sourced from jobs like cooking, tuition, etc lender may not show that much confidence in your application. On the other hand, presence of concrete investments like fixed deposits, share or mutual funds will prove favourable.

5. Income Tax Return

There is a difference between fake and genuine income tax return and believe us the fake ones get detected by bank personnel easily. So, if you have filed income tax returns within a short period or more than once in a year it may give an impression of you trying to make up things to avail a loan. On the other hand, tax deductions and advance tax payments are better representers of your genuine.

6. Previous Loans

If you already have a loan under your name for which you are still paying EMIs, then there is a strong chance of your application getting rejected or reduction in the eligible loan amount.

Coparcenary Rights – A Hindu Undivided Family is divided into two parts, coparcenary and members. Prior to the amendment, only the coparcenary who were the males have the right to ask for partition and get the share in the property. Daughters were regarded as members and were devoid of any such claims. With the 2005 amendment, Section 6 was revised and daughters were put at par with sons on the coparcenary front. They can now become Karta of HUF and ask for partition.
Status of Daughters not Born into the Family – Daughters who are not born into the family are not entitled to coparcenary right. They will be only treated as members of the family and are only entitled to share and maintenance. They cannot ask for partition like coparcenary.
After Marriage Status of Women – A daughter is no longer the member of the family after marriage, but her right to coparcenary still continues. In case she is the eldest coparcener she can become the Karta and all other are entitled to ask for partition.
Daughter Children’s Entitlement – After the death of a married daughter her children are entitled to the share of property she received during partition. In case her children died too than her grandchildren can claim the share.
Gifting of Share – A daughter cannot gift her share of the property, it can only be done by the way of will. If in case she dies without preparing a will her share will automatically get transferred to her legal heirs.
