1. Rate of interest charged by banks is linked to Marginal Cost of funds based Lending Rate (MCLR). Interest rates charged by Housing Finance Companies and NBFCs are linked to the Prime Lending Rate (PLR). Banks come under the ambit of the RBI but NBFCs and HFCs don’t. They can freely set PLR. Therefore, if you fail to meet the loan eligibility criteria of banks, you can approach NBFCs.
2. Banks can fund up to 80% of a property’s value. Both NBFCs and banks are not allowed to fund stamp duty and registration costs. NBFCs take into account these costs to calculate market value of the property, so you can borrow a larger amount.
3. NBFCs are more lenient when it comes to CIBIL score vis-à-vis banks. However, they charge high interest rate. You may avail loans from an NBFC, make timely re-payments and build credit score. You could then transfer the loan to a bank.
4. Paperwork and processing is very stringent and strict, when it comes to availing a Home Loan with banks. However, NBFCs are not too strict on the same.
