Bringing 20 per cent of a property's cost to the table isn't normally easy for a home loan borrower. Then, there is an additional cost of stamp duty and house registration, easily around ₹ 3 lakh for a house costing ₹ 50 lakh in Mumbai.

With stamp duty and registration costs of six to eight per cent in the country, housing finance companies (HFC) or non- banking financial institutions (NBFC) seem a better deal in comparison to banks.

In 2012, the Reserve Bank of India asked banks to exclude documentation and stamp duty while giving loans to home loan borrowers. So, for loans up to ₹ 20 lakh, banks can provide up to 90 per cent of the house cost. For loans above ₹ 20 lakh and up to ₹ 75 lakh, they can lend up to 80 per cent. For, loans above ₹ 75 lakh, it is 75 per cent of the house cost, excluding these charges.

In other words, buyers have to bring in a good 20- 30 per cent of the total value of the house. While HFCs and NBFCs can add stamp duty and registration amounts, their rates are marginally higher. Our customer base is those who aren't getting a home loan from banks or who need a higher amount. As they are risky customers, we charge a higher fee. Our customers are ready to pay a higher price for whatever reasons.

There isn't much of a difference between the rates offered by banks vis-a-vis HFCs. Typically, the rate differential is between 0.15 and 0.25 per cent. For a 20- year ₹ 50 lakh loan, the equated monthly instalment (EMI) for State Bank of India (10.15 per cent) and HDFC ( 10.25 per cent) would ₹ 48,749 and ₹ 49,082 or only ₹ 333. Over 240 months (20 years), this means an additional ₹ 79,920 – not too high.

If you go to a bank, you will have to pay another ₹ 3 lakh as registration and stamp duty. If you were to take ₹ 53 lakh from an HFC/ NBFC, the EMI would be ₹ 52,027. That is, ₹ 3,278 more a month or ₹ 7.87 lakh more over 20 years.

However, if you invested the same ₹ 3 lakh in a fixed deposit paying nine per cent annually, the returns after 20 years would ₹ 16.8 lakh and interest income of ₹ 13.8 lakh. In other words, the interest income is almost double the amount paid. And, there are many products like tax- free bonds where one can invest. This money, invested in equities, will give even a higher tax- free return. Customers also see the convenience.

They are more likely to approach the financial institution that has pre- approved a project. Or, an institution with which they have a long standing relation. Then, the loan processing gets faster.

Then, how do you decide? If you are a priority sector borrower (loan amount = ₹ 25 lakh or less), you will get a similar rate from all institutions. Ideally, if you are young and short of cash, it's best to go for a HFC/ NBFC. If close to retirement, try and pay the amount upfront because it will mean lesser pressure on finances in the future

The quantum of dividend shall be Rs 0.0389 per unit. The record date has been fixed as April 03, 2014.

Surrender ULPPs

  ICICI Pru LifeTime and ICICI Pru Lifestage are Unit Linked Pension Plans. Such insurance linked retirement plans are neither good investments nor do they offer sufficient insurance cover. As you can see, these have turned out to be bad deals. In the Lifetime plan, the fund value is not even equal to the total premiums that you have paid and in the Lifestage plan your return is just about 6% which is quite low. The mortality charges are as per your age which is why they have increased. Moreover, once these plans matures, you will have to compulsorily opt for annuity (regular income) and the annuity rates are generally modest. Assuming these plans mature in the next one year, it will be wise to surrender the plan now and curb your future commitments.   Before you choose to buy a term plan, you have to consider a few points. You need to insure yourself, only during the time you are working and your family is financially dependent on you. At the age of 59, not all insurance companies w...

NPS Investment Choice for Safe Investors

Invest NPS Online       Whether they invested through SIPs or put in a lump sum amount, risk-averse individ uals have earned the highest returns. These are investors who stayed away from stocks and divided their NPS corpus between G class gilt funds and C class corporate debt funds. On average, gilt funds have given 9.75% annualised returns while corporate debt funds have churned out more than 11% in the past five years. As a result, the average return for ultra-safe investors in the past five years is in double digits. Even in the short term, ultrasafe investors have been the biggest gainers among NPS investors. Will the good times continue? The gilt funds of NPS are holding long-term bonds with an average maturity of over 19 years and a modified duration of about 9 years.These funds have done well because interest rate cuts have pushed down bond yields. But experts say this trend will not stay forever. NPS is a long-term investment and the bonds are predominantly held to matu...

Buy Health Insurance Plan even if you are covered with my Employer

Buy Health Insurance Plan Online Yes, getting a private insurance cover now, which extends beyond your retirement age, is recommended There are a few reasons why buying a health insurance plan may make sense even though you get medical insurance from your employer. Here are the points you need to think about. Firstly, your employer's insurance coverage will only protect you as long as you are employed with the company. The policy will terminate when you quit the job or when you retire. Post retirement is perhaps the phase when one needs it the most but you won't have it then. Moreover, buying a new insurance policy after the age of 50 means that there will be no coverage for pre-existing diseases.   Lastly, health insurance policy you get from your employer may or may not cover your dependants. ------------------------------ ----------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.

Mutual Fund Review: Taurus Tax Shield

    Taurus Tax Shield has seen a turnaround in performance since 2007, but still remains a volatile offering… The fund has seen a turnaround in its performance since 2007 and has delivered impressively during market rallies since then. The portfolio is also more diversified. It contained its downfall to an average level in 2008 but is still one of the most volatile offerings in this category. Bold investors can look at this fund.   Strategy The fund manager invests across the market capitalisation and sectors. The selection of stocks is made on the basis of long-term business prospects and value creation. Fund Insight Launched in March 1996, the fund was a laggard with just two annual outperformances. Concentrated stock bets and high exposure to mid and small caps led to it being hit harder during market downturns. The number of stocks in the portfolio never exceeded 20 and it was not rare to see the top 5 holdings account for around 60 per cent of the portfolio. After b...
