Foreclosure Charges and prepayment penalties on Home Loan

Описание: Foreclosure Charges and prepayment penalties on Home Loan

Many people mistakenly believe that banks charge a penalty for home loan foreclosure or prepayment. However, as per RBI guidelines (June 2012 and clarified in May 2014), banks and NBFCs cannot charge any prepayment penalty or foreclosure charges on home loans with floating interest rates taken by individual borrowers. This applies even if you transfer the loan balance to another lender. The only exceptions are: corporate/LLP/company borrowers, fixed-rate home loans, and loans for commercial use. If a bank still demands a foreclosure charge, ask for it in writing, file a grievance with the branch manager, and escalate to the Banking Ombudsman if needed. RBI introduced these rules to help borrowers switch to lower interest rates freely.
