Home Finance, an affordable housing finance company, offers unique home loan — ‘Swaraj’ — to meet the needs of borrowers in the informal income segment.
Home loans offered under Swaraj are between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 20 lakh.
Swaraj Home Loan is a unique product available across India. It addresses home loan requirements of first time borrowers who may or may not be supported by formal income documentation, and hence cannot be provided a loan under regular underwriting norms, IIFL Home Finance CEO Monu Ratra said here.
The scheme benefits semi-skilled workers like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, drivers, mechanics, technicians, salesman, peons, and security guards, who are either working as salaried employees in small organizations or working independently as self-employed. It can also be availed by shopkeepers, traders and contractors.
