United Bank Home Loan EMI

• Home Loan EMI (or equated monthly instalment) is a fixed amount of money paid by you to United Bank of India against the loan taken. This is towards repayment of your loan to the bank. Every month, it is due on a fixed day of the month till your loan is fully paid back.
• With United Bank of India offering Home Loans with loan tenure upto 30 years, the loan EMI can be as low as Rs. 772 per lakh, to make it more affordable and convenient to meet your needs. Lowest Rate of interest offered by United Bank of India on Home Loan is 8.55%.

• As you can see in the above table, for various loan amounts taken at the lowest rate of interest, EMI differs with changes to tenure at 15, 20 and 30 years. Your EMI is higher when you take loan for a shorter tenure of 15 years and it is lower when you apply for a higher tenure of 30 years.
• Your EMI consists of both interest payment and principal repayment. Though the EMI amount will remain constant, every month the proportion of interest payment and principal repaid within each EMI is different. With every EMI, the proportion of principal repayment in EMI keeps increasing and the interest component in EMI keeps reducing.

The above table shows the longer your loan tenure, lower is the EMI you pay on the loan. However, your total interest outgo is significantly higher in a long tenure loan. In the above example, if you take a Rs. 1,00,000 loan for a period of 30 years, you pay the lowest EMI of Rs. 772. However, you pay an interest of Rs. 177,920 on a Rs. 1,00,000 loan.
In contrast, if you take a Rs. 1,00,000 loan from United Bank of India at the lowest loan rate offered for a period of 15 years, you pay a higher home loan EMI of Rs. 988 and pay an interest of only Rs. 77,840 which is less than half of what you paid in a 30 year loan. Hence, it is advisable to choose your loan tenure wisely as longer tenure means high interest expenses.

• Loan amount – This is the amount borrowed by a borrower from United Bank of India. If you apply for a higher loan amount, your monthly EMI will be high. United Bank of India gives minimum home loan of Rs. 1,500,000 upto an amount of Rs. 30,000,000.

Tips to decide the right amount of EMI

• Ascertain the amount you need to borrow: It is important that before approaching a bank for loan, you need to estimate the amount of loan you need to borrow. The amount of loan you need to borrow is a function of the value of the property and available funds with you. Remember house loan is a long term loan, and hence it is advisable to minimise your loan amount to the extent possible. Limit your loan amount to the balance funds you need to fund the property after accounting for your own available funds. Also, based on the EMI you can service, try to opt for lowest tenure of loans as long tenure loans result in huge interest outgo.
• Review your current obligations: Before, taking a loan it is advisable to do an evaluation of your current monthly expenses including any EMI obligations that you have on your current loans. The assessment will help you to estimate the amount of EMI you can pay comfortably after taking into account other obligations. Once you arrive at the EMI you can service, you can also decide on the right loan tenure.
• Calculate your United Bank of India home loan eligibility: Your home loan eligibility is a function of value of the property and assessment of your repayment capacity based on your monthly income. United Bank of India provides a LTV upto 90% and expects the borrower to fund the remaining value of property by own money. For example, at its lowest LTV 90%, United Bank of India would expect its borrowers to provide margin money of 10%. In case this margin payment is higher than your available funds as estimated by you, you might need to look for higher LTV loans, which may carry higher interest rates and hence, will result in higher EMIs.
• United Bank of India will also estimate your Fixed Income to Obligations Ratio to ascertain the maximum EMI you can service based on your current income and other monthly expenses. The bank applies a certain ratio to your income to estimate your monthly expenses and then adds your other EMI obligations to calculate your fixed obligations. The proportion of fixed income to your calculated fixed obligations gives your FOIR. United Bank of India lends up to a maximum FOIR of 0.65. Based on the FOIR, the bank will also estimate the maximum amount of EMI you can service as a borrower. United Bank of India's assessment may be different from your own assessment. Any differences in assessment may require you to readjust your loan amount requirement. You may also consider paying back other running short term loans to improve your eligibility.

• Typically, the home loan EMI remains unchanged unless the customer requests for a change and the same is approved by United Bank of India subject to its eligibility conditions (note that nominal charges may apply for effecting a customer initiated change in EMI)
