INTRODUCTION

Industry profile

The housing sector plays an important role in the economic development of the country. Every rupee invested in housing adds 78 paise to the GDP. Over 269 industries are directly or indirectly dependent on the housing sector. There is an estimated shortage of 20 million housing units in the country with an estimated investment requirement of over Rs 1500 billion. In this context it is important to note that that the organized housing finance industry barely accounts for 30% of the home loans disbursed in the country. The last few years have seen the home loans market growing at a CAGR of over 30 percent. The growth has been mainly fuelled by certain fiscal, social and regulatory drivers: Changes in demographic profile including increase in the rate of household formation due to structural shift from joint family system to nuclear family Ever increasing middle class, migration of population and increasing urbanization resulting in acute shortage of housing units. Increase in disposable income levels due to decrease in marginal tax rates and increase in total income levels Tax benefits and other fiscal incentives announced in the Union Budgets Increasing affordability of housing property purchase due to declining interest rates and stable property prices Decline in the average house cost to annual income ratio to around 4-5 from 11-14 during the last decade resulting in an affordable EMI as a percentage of monthly income Aggressive lending by banks to the housing sector due to lower credit off take by the corporate sector, attractive spread and lower non-performing assets

The major players in Indian housing finance industry are the Housing Finance Companies (HFCs), Scheduled Commercial Banks, and Co-operative Banks. The total incremental disbursements of the HFCs and the Banks have increased from approx Rs 16,000 cr in 1998-99 to approx. Rs 39,000 cr in 2002-03 with direct incremental disbursements growing from approx Rs 10,500 cr to Rs 34,000 cr during the same period. The year 2002-03 has witnessed a growth of 29 percent in total incremental disbursements and 33 percent in direct incremental disbursements over that of last year. Total incremental disbursement less Bank loans to HFCs, Bank investments in NHB/HUDCO Bonds and Bank loans to employee.The incremental disbursements of HFCs is estimated to have increased by 21 percent to approx. Rs 18,000 cr with incremental disbursements of HDFC, the leading HFC increasing 31 percent from Rs 7,616 cr to Rs 9,951 cr during 2002-03. However, the aggregate market share of HFCs as a whole declined. The HFCs have mostly lost market share to the banks with the worst hit being inflicted on the small and medium HFCs.

Adjustable Rate Home Loan Loan under Adjustable Rate is linked to HDFC's Retail Prime Lending Rate (RPLR).

Introduction to Home Loan

Every human being aspires to have his own house to live in. After food and clothing, housing is the third most important human requirement. On an average a person spends almost two-thirds of his life in a house which is his sanctuary in his old age. Adequate housing is therefore a fundamental need of human beings and an essential pre-requisite for physical, intellectual and mental development. Blessed are those who live in their own house and fortunate are those who have the money to buy one. But all are not privileged to buy a house of their own. For many such less privileged, buying a house has become possible in modern times through housing loans. Though shelter was enshrined as a fundamental right in the constitution, housing did not get the attention it reserved. This was perhaps due to the fact that at that time nobody expected the problem of housing to assume the present gigantic proportions. Proper housing, even at a lower scale, has never kept pace with the minimum requirements of the people. The objective of this report is to study Customer Perception and Attitude towards home loan. For this survey was conducted through structured Questionnaire. In todays competitive business world every customer is significant for the lending home loan. The customer expectations are very high so it should be kept in mind and offer them best possible service. The housing backlog has been compounded by the high rate of population growth. Inadequate housing facilities have led to the rapid growth of slums and unauthorized settlements, poor quality of services, housing land prices and increasing costs of construction. In rural areas, the situation is even more alarming. The Government and some public sector undertakings have been trying to tackle the problem but their efforts do not much even the fringe of the problem. The central and state governments cannot solve this problem. So the Life Insurance Corporation of India and housing societies entered the field of housing loans for their customers. Today these are 350 housing finance companies registered with the registrar of companies, of these 29 have been approved by National Housing Bank for financial assistance. The housing finance industry has been borrowing at the rate of nearly 35% for the last two years. Over the last 3 years Commercial banks and Private sector banks have been playing an important role in housing finance. All Commercial banks and Private sector banks are now emerging as lenders in the segment, taking a slew initiatives in the form of opening dedicated outfits/cells to cater to the ever-increasing demand for housing loans, offering competitive interest rates with fixed/ variable options, Waiver of processing fee, Free additional attractive packages and flexibilities in housing loan Schemes. Generally the traditional trend of the term Housing Loans or Housing Finance means finance for buying or modifying a property. Hence Housing Finance may be defined as the financial resources for an individual or a group of persons used facially for the purpose of housing. A study of the housing loan schemes offered by public sector banks and private sector banks would pave the way taking certain policy decisions for improving these housing loan schemes.

Theeverybankhasitsownproceduretodisbursetheloanamountamong customers. After choosing your right home, the next step is disbursement of home loans. The loan amount is disbursed after identifying and selecting the property or home that arepurchased andsubmit the requisitelegal documents. Inthe disbursement ofhome loans a clear title and full verification to ensure that a person has full rights on his house. The 230Aclearance of seller and /or 371 clearances from the appropriate authority of income tax is also needed.

(i.)Eligibility criteria:-However, if one is a resident or non-resident individual who is planning to buy a house in India, one can apply for a home loan. If a person has decided to buy a property in the near future, he/she can apply for a loan before even selecting the property. Once the maximum amount to put into the property has been decided, the HousingFinance Institutions or Banks will let the customer know that how much he/she is eligible for and this helps to plan out the budget.

(ii.)Conditions regarding co-applicants:-All Housing Finance Institutions lay down conditions on who can be co-applicants all co-owners to the property need to be co-applicants to the loan necessarily. These institutions do not permit minors to join in as either co owner or as co-applicants because a minor is not eligible to enter into a contact as per law. They do not permit even friends or relatives who are not blood relatives to take a property jointly. However, Income of co-applicants can be clubbed together to get higher loan eligibility. Given below is a Table that throw light on acceptable relationship of a co-applicant for clubbing of income.

Income Clubbing of Co-applicants: It is asfollows:-Combination Income Clubbing: -

Husband-Wife: -Income of husband-wife can be clubbed.

Parent - son:-- It can be clubbed if only son is there but not if any male sibling exists.

Brother-Brother:-- If they are currently staying together and intend to stay together inthe new property, then only, their income-canbe clubbed forabove purposes.

Brother-Sister:-- No clubbing-is possible.

Sister-Sister : -No clubbing is possible.

Parent-Minor- Child:-- No clubbing is possible in this case also.

iii)General TermsandConditions:-Thefollowingarethetermsandconditions applicable to the basic home loan product only. These are likely to change on the basis ofthe variations of the home loan product. Typically, in general home loans, the following conditions are applicable :- The loan to value ratio (LTV) cannot exceed a particular percentage. This differs fromproducttoproductandfromoneHousingFinanceInstitutionalBank(HFI/B)toanother. The components of the value of the Property calculated here are covered undercost of property.

The maximum tenure of the bank is nominally fixed by HFI/Bs. However, HFls/Bs doprovide for different tenures with different terms andconditions.

The installment that one pay is normally restricted to about-50-per cent of the monthly-gross income of the candidate.

The total monthly outflow towards all the loans that havebeen availed of, including the current loanis normallyrestricted to50% ofthe grossmonthlyincome.

One will be eligible for a loanamount which is the lowest as per one'seligibility. This is calculated as per the LTV norms, the HR, norms and the FOIR norms as mentioned above.

MostHFls/Bsconsidertheprofilebeforethey judgetherepaymentcapacity.Thejudgement is based on age, qualifications, number of dependents, employment details, employer credentials, work experience, previous track record of repayment of any loans that have been availed of, occupation, the industry to which the candidate's business relates to, if he/she is self-employed, then the turnover in the last 3-4 years etc.

Some HFIs/Bs insists on guarantees from other individuals for the repayment of the loan. In such cases, the customers has to arrange for the personal guarantee before the disbursement of the loan takes place. The property should be technically clear before the HFIs/Bs disburses the loans amount. Most of institutions and banks have a teams of technical experts who visit the site to get a technical report before the disbursement of loan. This is also beneficial to the customer as they check for the technicalquality and compliance with local laws. The property should be legally clear before one can avail of a disbursement of the loan amount. Housing-Finance Institutions /Banks (HFIs/Bs) take legal clearance from theirlawyers before the disbursement of amount. This proves to be beneficial to the customers as a legal expert checks his/her documentation to ensure that he/she get a proper title to theproperty. The disbursement of the loan is as per the progress of construction of the property unless it is a ready property in which case the disbursement will be by one single cheque. PEMI or simple interest on the loan amount disbursed to the customer in case of a part disbursement will be payable by the customer on the disbursement. The disbursement in most cases will be favoring the builder or the seller or the society or the development authority as the case may be. The disbursement will come in the customer's favour under specialcircumstances only. The repayment of loancan be madeeither through deduction against salary, post-dated cheques, standing instructions or Auto debit instructions tobank.

This is because these stages are taking place simultaneously and one application is being taken care for by the experienced employees of both SBP Ltd service centre and SBP Ltd. HUB (also called the back end office).Also the applicant may be asked to send information or may be asked questionsregarding hisrequirement and/or hisdocumentsfor hisown convenience. Hence the loan application may or may not shuttle through different stages:-

Submission of Application Form: -After choosing a particular home loan, the customersubmits the application form to the housing finance company (HFC) along with otherrelevant documents as required by the HFC. They comprise documents to establish income, age, residence, employment, investments, etc. The customer also needs to hand over a cheque for payment of an up front (non -refundable) processing fee of about 0.5-1% of the loan amount to the HFC.

Validation of the Information: -In the next stage, HFCs validate the informationprovided by the customer on the application form. They usually conduct checks on the residential address of the customer, the place of employment of the customer, and credentials of the employer. Some HFCs may insist on a personal interview with the customer and perform a reference check on the references provided by the customer on the application form.

Issue of Sanction Letter :-After due appraisal of customer profile, a sanction letter is issued which contains details such as loan amount, rate of interest, annual / monthly reducing balance ,tenor of the loan, mode of repayment and general terms and conditions of the loan. This is the actually the approval of the money lending procedure by the company. However, the money is sanctioned only after the documents and the property onbehalf of which the loan is being granted is thoroughly verified.

Submission of Documents: -Once the sanction letter is passed, the customer is required to leave the entire set of original documents pertaining to the property being purchased with the HFC as security for the loan amount sanctioned. These documents remain in the custody of the HFC till the time the loan is fully repaid. Once the documents are handed over to the HFC, they send all the documents for a thorough legal scrutiny.

Validation of Property: -Prior to disbursement, the HFC also conducts a site visit to the customer's property to ensure that all construction norms have been adhered to properly. Once the HFC is satisfied that the property is legally and technically clear, they disburse the loan amount. The disbursement from the HFI is on the basis of the stage of construction of the property.

Payment Procedure: -Once all the above mentioned process, the borrower is entitled to take the money from the lender party. Until such time that the entire sanctioned amount I snot drawn, the customer is supposed to pay a simple interest on the Actual Amount drawn (without any principal repayments). The EMI payments commences only after the entire sanctioned loan amount is drawn.

Bank finance extended for purchase of a house by a borrower who proposes to let it out on rental basis on account of his posting outside the headquarters or because he has been provided accommodation by his employer.However if the applicant intends to have more than two houses, the exposure for the third unit house onward may be treated as CRE exposure and falls under the definition of income producing real estate as the borrower may be renting these units and the rental income would be the primary source of repayment.

Review of Literature

Review of Literature

Mylonakis (2007) in his study on Customer Preferences in the Home Loans Market concluded that the important influential factors attributed are the various offers of banks, the banks reputation, existing cooperation, as well as bank staff. Bank branches proved to continue constituting the organization.

Chaudhary and Janjhua (2011) examined the satisfaction level and problems faced by customerswhile availing loans. A sample of 120 customers of the bank comprising of public servants, private sector employees and self-employed from its three branches serving Solan town, Chambaghat and Parwanoo areas has been selected. They found that the customers of the bank were highly satisfied with the home loan services in relation to its services, transparency, time taken for loan approval, employee co-operation and query handling, prima facie of some problems like procedural delays, lack of knowledge and red-tapisim. The results further revealed that the main reason for people to prefer this bank is the trust of the customers in the bank, lower interest rates and easy repayable installments.

Vanaja and Sindhuja (2013) studied the customers perception on the home loans offered by HDFC Limited, the factors influencing customers in choosing a housing finance agency, reasons for pre closure of home loans and customers opinion about the Electronic Clearing Service of HDFC Limited. The study showed that on a majority, the customers agree that the peoples service, products and processes are effective. The company can improve the service of updating repayments and conveying information about RBI guidelines and interest rate changes by enabling automatic generated SMS or e-mails to be sent or through tele calling the customers within a time limit of one or two weeks. The major factors that influence customers in choosing housing finance company are competitive interest rate, flexible repayment system, progressive funding and prepayment penalty, which if focused by HDFC can attract new customers and can also retain loyal customers in the long run. Awareness about the home loan products can be created through display boards within the office and newspaper inserts.
