How do you do it?

Set a budget

How much EMI you are comfortable with, how much extra money you got for the down payment, tenure for the loan, and if you have any liability that needs to be taken care of; these are some of the main points you need to consider before applying for a second home loan. It is always better to set a budget based on the above factors. To calculate your EMI, you can use online tools. Once you determine the EMI range that you are comfortable with, you can approach the bank. At HDFC Bank, we offer a seamless process. <Check the steps>.

Additionally, your credit score and debt-to-income ratio must be strong, as these factors heavily influence your eligibility and the interest rate you receive. To qualify for a home loan, you must provide certain documents that are considered mandatory. And it’s always better to be ready with those in advance

Check for taxation
