How to get Loans - For the self-employed class



The salaried class is dream category for banks when it comes to making lending decisions. After all, those in the category have a stable source of income and they seem to be the best placed to deal with equated monthly instalments. High-flyers with fat salary cheques even get loans 'pre-approved' — lending institutions are only more than happy to do so. For them, the loan application and sanction process is reasonably hassle free.


For the self-employed class of borrowers, however, things are a little different. But, do note that not everybody in this category might face difficulties. In fact, some may find the going easier than their salaried counterparts. For instance, most salaried borrowers look at a loan to finance 80% of their house purchase cost. In contrast, a self-employed businessman or professional could typically ask for the LTV (loan-to value) ratio of just 55% to 60%, in which case the bank's comfort would obviously be higher. Similarly, self employed professional like chartered accountants or doctors, too, could be looked upon favourably by banks.

All that the bank wants to ensure is that you have the ability to fulfil your monthly repayment commitments.

DOCUMENTATION

Ensure that your income proofs are in order. You could be drawing your income from several sources – dividend from business, interest on capital, etc – and the one document that could document all these would be the income statement submitted to the Income Tax department. Banks ask for this document along with three-years' I-T returns.


In addition, you also need to submit balance sheet and profit & loss statements certified by a chartered accountant. In case of professionals, their earnings would be reflected in their financial statements.

NEXT STEP

Then, banks could insist on a personal discussion with the owner/professional to understand their business models, margins, net worth, business mix, etc. You could use this platform to convince the banks about the robustness of your business. While assessing the repayment capacity of the loan-seekers, banks take into consideration the actual cash profits made by the business. Therefore, the clarity of thoughts you display during the personal discussion to convince the bank about your credentials and the business' prospects could go a long way in getting the loan approved. Furthermore, the line of business chosen by you, too, could be an influencing factor.

OTHER FACTORS

In addition, any properties you own, your track record with the banks and business-related repayment record will also be taken into account. If your repayment history is impeccable, it will brighten your chances of securing the loan. Also, if you are highly qualified and, hence, easily employable, you could find it easier to get the loan, as it indicates that in the event of the business running in losses, you can maintain continuity in earnings and, hence, repayment.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.
