Borrowers Think of Covering Home Loan Liability with an Insurance Policy...!


by Srikala Bhashyam

Planning finance for house buyers has never been easy &  with interest rates and Prime Lending Rate (PLR) always on the move, it is going to be tougher.

In addition, the property price, despite being considered the best time to buy, is not showing any signs of going down.

With choices too many, it has made life only difficult for house buyers. If life is going to be hard-hitting for prospective buyers too, well, it is no better for those who have bought some property in recent times.

The fluctuations in interest rate means EMIs (equated monthly instalments) will start climbing upwards.  And for those who opted for floating rate, the fluctuations will have to be put up with.

In such a scenario, property buyers are likely to focus more on their interest rates than other aspects of borrowing.

In fact, few borrowers actually think of covering their housing loan liability with an insurance policy.

Insurance policy can actually relieve you from the long-term burden of home loan even in the event of death of the prime borrower.

Insurance policies often are associated with tax planning & individuals fail to make good use of this product.

Next time you think of insurance policy, calculate the liability. While personal loans & credit card payments are short-term liability, property loan invariably is a long term liability, requiring you to pay EMIs for as long as 10 to 15 years.
