How much does LIC HFL fund?
- Up to 90% of the value for loans up to ₹30 lakh, 80% for loans of ₹30–75 lakh and 75% above ₹75 lakh (lichousing.com, 17 October 2026). That is why the down payment jumps from 20% to 25% once the loan crosses ₹75 lakh.
- Rates from 7.15% for salaried and 7.30% for self-employed borrowers with CIBIL 825+.
- Terms up to 30 years for salaried and 20 years for self-employed borrowers, subject to age.

What salary do you need?
Lenders look at how much of your income goes to EMIs, including the new one. Keeping the total near half your take-home is a safe plan. Two ways to stretch the budget:
- Add a co-applicant: a working spouse’s income raises the loan you qualify for. See joint home loan with spouse.
- Close small loans first: every existing EMI reduces your eligibility. Our eligibility by salary table shows the effect.
Ready flat or under construction?
An under-construction flat adds GST and is paid in stages, so you pay pre-EMI interest until possession; a ready flat with an occupancy certificate has no GST. Compare both in under-construction vs ready-to-move flats. Buying in a new project? LIC HFL approved projects make the loan file simpler: see the list of approved projects.
