💡 Expert Tips to Get Home Loan Approval Faster
1. 🧾 Maintain Clear Financial Records
Keep your ITRs, bank statements, and audited balance sheets well-organized. Clean documentation builds lender confidence.
2. 📈 Show Stable Business Growth
Even if your income fluctuates, showing year-on-year growth helps assure lenders of your repayment capacity.
3. 🏦 Avoid Excessive Business Expenses
High deductions might reduce your net profit on paper, which lowers your loan eligibility.
4. 📊 Keep CIBIL Score Above 750
A strong credit score improves your interest rate and chances of approval. Monitor it regularly.
5. 🤝 Co-Apply with a Salaried Spouse (Optional)
This boosts eligibility and improves your debt-to-income ratio.
