What is a Monthly Reducing Balance?
An Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) has two components:
1. Interest
2. Principal.
When the interest is calculated on monthly rests, the principal on which the interest is charged goes down every month.
This results in significant savings for the home loan borrower (customer) over the tenure of the loan.
What is an Annual Reducing Balance?
When the interest is calculated on annual rests, the principal reduces only at the end of the year.
Therefore, you continue to pay interest on a portion of the principal that you have already actually paid back to the lending company.
How does ICICI HFC help you in selecting a property of your choice?
Through ICICI Home Search, you can identify a property that fulfills your requirements from a vast database of properties. They arrange for site visits to the properties short-listed by you, and also assist you with the legal documentation.
This service comes to you free of cost for first sale properties. This facility is available in select cities only.
What is an amortization schedule?
An amortization schedule is a table giving the reduction of your loan amount by monthly installments.
The amortization schedule gives the break-up of every EMI towards repayment interest and outstanding principal of your loan.
Can you get Income Tax certificates in the name of both the applicant & co-applicant separately?
As per Income Tax (IT) rules, only one certificate can be issued for a Housing Loan hence one certificate will be issued in the name of both the applicant & co applicant.
When is the IT certificate issued?
You can request for a provisional IT certificate that can be issued any time during the course of the year.
The final IT certificate will be issued at the end of a financial year. You can expect to receive your copy in the month of April or / May.
