A Bank Statement of Passbook is necessary for a Home Loan for the following reasons:

• It aids bank to check your average monthly income.
• EMIs paid towards any existing loan may be assessed using the Passbook.
• The bank can verify if you have the margin amount required for the loan as it must reflect in the Passbook or Bank Statement. This may also reflect in your account statement as payments made to the builder or vendor.
• Lenders are able to assess the various income sources available to you.
• Assets mentioned in the Home Loan application are verified using the Passbook or the Bank Statement.
• The bank is also able to calculate your debt-to-income ratio using credits and debits reflecting in the account statement.
• The bank ensures that there are no fraudulent transactions in your account or funds obtained from unknown sources before granting your loan.

A No Objection certificate (NOC) is issued by the bank after you have paid all the EMIs and dues towards your loan. The NOC is extremely important for the following reasons:

• It helps remove the bank's lien from your property.
• You can get another loan.
• Your credit score improves.
• You will be able to sell your property only after obtaining an NOC.
• You can claim insurance if required.

There are different factors that affect your eligibility for a Home Loan, as mentioned below:

• Age: Every bank has a minimum and maximum age threshold for the applicant to be eligible for a loan.
• Income: To ensure that you have enough funds to make regular repayments towards your loans, banks require a minimum income for the applicant after making all necessary deductions. The higher the income, the more eligible the individual.
• Property value: Banks give you between 75% and 90% of your property value as the loan amount. The age of the property, location, resale value and other factors also play a vital role as the property is provided as security against the loan.
• Credit Score: Your credit score is a reflection of your credit behavior. It shows if you are a reliable candidate to provide a Home Loan or not. Usually, banks require a Credit Score above 750 in order to sanction a Home Loan.
