One of the industry’s top lenders Muthoot FinCorp offers quick, flexible & online home loans. You can get a loan ranging from Rs. 2 lakhs to Rs. 30 lakhs.

Lower Interest Rate

Since a loan against property is a secured form of borrowing, you are likely to be charged a lower interest rate on your collateral. Hence, you can significantly decrease the total cost of the loan and boost your repayment efforts. Currently, Muthoot FinCorp charges a 12-18% interest rate on loans against property.

Get a Long Repay Tenure

One of the key benefits of opting for a loan against a property is that you can repay it over an extended timeframe. You can get sanctioned quick, easy loans and repay them over a tenure of 3 years to 20 years. For large loan amounts, borrowers can find a long repay tenure helpful as it allows them to tailor repayments into easy to pay monthly instalments. A long tenure backed by low-interest rates makes LAPs a promising medium to borrow capital.

Enjoy Tax Benefits

What comes as a fascinating fact is that borrowers can enjoy tax benefits on their interest payments. Section 37(1), 80C, 24B, and 80EE of Income Tax Act, 1961 enable borrowers to claim tax benefits. The 2020’s Union Budget has also proposed to increase tax benefits by a whopping Rs. 1.5 lakh on the interest you pay back to the lender. If the residential property is in your name, get your loan against the property approved at the earliest with Muthoot FinCorp and avail of generous tax benefits.

Continuous Property Ownership

Unlike other forms of borrowing money, a loan against property entitles the borrower to retain the ownership of the property. Once the lender makes sure that your property is a marketable entity, you can get your loan approved in no time. Hence, LAPs are a safe option to borrow money since the resident stays the owner, always. Although a loan against property is a popular choice for business purposes such as expansion, marketing, promotion among others, you can always leverage LAPs for personal use.
