Precautions while House mortgaging

 

Getting finance for buying homes by mortgage is an important transaction of large section of people. For most of the people, buying home is one time process which involves financing by pledging mortgage of the home bought. As a result of complexities involved in the process and the presence of innumerable lenders in the financial market, ignorant borrowers often commit mistakes while mortgaging. Mistakes made in the mortgage process can cause everything from minor annoyances up to, and including, financial disaster, thus, you must be very careful while mortgaging your property.

To avoid mortgage mistakes, the very first thing that any home buyer must do is to clearly establish that he/she is the only person responsible for the payment of the mortgage; therefore, any and all decisions should be first and foremost personal ones. He/She can seek help of the lender, the Real Estate Agent, his/her friends or relatives in the process of decision making, but, the decision should be personal.

Here are some important precautions which the borrowers must consider while examining and choosing the mortgage.

  • Analyze your requirements and decide on accordingly. Also see if the cost involved in mortgaging fits into your estimated budget.
  • Visit more than one bank/HFC and compare the quotations given and interest rates. Select the one which offers maximum benefit and serves your purpose.
  • Pay proper attention to the tenure of the loan. The EMI may come less for longer tenure, but the total interest outgo will be higher.
  • Collect all information about processing fees and time. Some banks/HFCs may waive processing fee for processing loan but they build this cost on their interest rates.
  • Consider pre-payment options. Most of the private banks/HFCs charges 2% - 3% of the loan in the form of penalty in case you decide to pre-pay the outstanding amount. However, the nationalized banks do not charge such penalty.
  • Be regular in making your payments on time. Default in payments results in penalties and can also adversely affect your credit history and profile.
  • Make sure that all deals and offers agreed upon are supported by relevant papers. So make sure you always ask for a letter in a banks letter-head mentioning the likes of, exact rate of interests, processing fees, pre-payment charges along with interest-schedule.
  • Also before signing the documents, make sure you recheck all terms and conditions.
  • Ensure that you submit the title of ownership of your property after due verification from the local authority of your area. Do not at any circumstance give any false information. This may amount to fraud and could land you in trouble.
  • Do not sign any blank documents. Even if it takes you a few hours to fill-up the form, please do so. Do not leave anything for the executive to fill-up.
  • Take acknowledgement for title and other documents handed over to the HFI as security.
  • Take copy of loan agreement and other documents signed for availing the loan.
  • Finally, once you have received a loan do your best to pay it back as quickly as possible. Banks/HFCs make their money off the interest they charge and the sooner you pay back a loan the less money you will have to pay in interest.
  • Verify that the HFI has given credit for the EMIs repaid and reduced the outstanding loan amount as per agreed schedule.
  • Track your loan account closely.
  • Obtain repatment certificate at the end of year, avail tax benefits and enjoy happy life in your own sweet home!

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs. In the words of our Honourable Prime Minister- Mr. Narendra Modi, India offers the 3 'Ds' for business to thrive— democracy,...

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...

Stock Review: Havells

HAVELLS India's stock performance has been muted in the past three months, in line with the weak broader market. But, given the turnaround in its overseas subsidiary and the launch of new products in its consumer durable business, the company's stock may undergo a re-rating.    Havells is India's leading consumer electrical goods company, with consolidated sales of . 5,527 crore in the past four quarters. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Sylvania, which makes lighting and fixtures, has established brands in European, Latin American and Asian markets. Sylvania repre sented nearly half of the company's consolidated revenues in the first half of FY11.    Sylvania's poor financials hit Havells' consolidated performance in FY10. But, this has changed in the cur rent fiscal. Havells has reduced fixed costs of Sylvania by exiting from unprofitable businesses and outsourcing manufacturing to low-cost locations such as India and China. In the September 2010 quarter, Sylv...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Equity

    Despite high churn, Reliance Regular Savings Equity has managed to fetch good returns   In its short history, this one has made its mark. Though its annual and trailing returns are amazing, the fund started off on a lousy note (last two quarters of 2005). It managed to impress in 2006 and was turning out to be pretty average in 2007, till Omprakash Kuckian took over in November 2007 and wasted no time in changing the complexion of the portfolio. Exposure to Construction shot up to 28 per cent with almost 21 per cent cornered by Pratibha Industries and Madhucon Projects . Exposure to Engineering was yanked up (18.50%) while Financial Services lost its prime slot (dropped to 6.69%) and Auto was dumped. That quarter (December 2007), he delivered 54.66 per cent (category average: 25.70%).   When the market collapsed in 2008, thankfully the fund did not plummet abysmally. But even its high cash allocations could not cushion the fall which hovered around the category average. ...
