A home loan can help you realize your dream of owning a piece of paradise. In this article, let us look at the factors affecting home loans and Rs. 20 lakhs home loan EMI.
A home loan is the amount of money an individual borrows from banks or other financial institutions to purchase a residential or commercial property. This loan can be to purchase a new or resale home, build a home, or renovate or extend an existing one. The money is borrowed at a fixed interest rate and repaid over time in smaller installments known as EMIs (Equated monthly installments).

The amount you pay as an EMI on your Rs 20 lakh home loan will be determined by two factors: the home loan interest rate and the loan repayment term.
Let us now look at an example of how to calculate EMI.
Arun has decided to buy a house. After meeting the lender's requirements, the bank decides to give Arun a home loan of INR 20 lakh, with him producing the remaining cost of the house as a down payment.
The bank has offered him a 10-year home loan with an annual interest rate of 8.4%. The monthly EMI amount that Arun will pay is calculated using the formula below:
P x R x (1+R)^N / [(1+R)^N-1]
P: Principal loan amount = INR 20,000,00
N: Loan tenure in months = 10 years or 120 months
R: Interest rate per month [8.4/12/100] = 0.007
EMI= INR 20,00,000 * 0.007 * (1 + 0.007)120 / ((1 + 0.007)120 – 1) = Rs. 24,690.
As a result, Rs. 20 lakh home loan EMI will be Rs. 24,690. Overall, he will pay Rs. 29,62,800, of which Rs. 9,62,800 will be the total interest paid on the principal borrowed sum.

Your age is an important factor in determining home loan eligibility. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be approved for a home loan. You can also get a loan for a longer period if you are young.
The amount you can borrow is heavily influenced by your income stability. You must have a consistent income whether you are a salaried employee or self-employed.
A high credit score and a track record of timely repayment will increase your chances of loan approval.
Lenders assess your existing liabilities, such as personal loans, credit card bills, car loans, and so on, to ensure you have the financial capacity to repay the home loan. If you have no liabilities, your loan may be approved without any problems.
