This Home Loan can be taken for the following purposes:

What About Prepayment?

No Third-Party Guarantee
For an Indian resident, no third-party guarantee is required. For NRIs, one or two guarantors of Indian origin are required. The guarantors’ means of income should be equivalent to the loan taken.
