A Home Loan stands for the amount of money that you borrow from a Bank or an NBFC for a certain period for home purchase, improvement, construction, or land purchase, which you repay in Equated Monthly Instalment with interest at a pre-decided rate. Your property becomes the collateral against which you avail the home loan. The lender reserves the legal right to the property, which may be personal or commercial, and he may recover the outstanding loan amount in case of default by selling off the property.
