Quick answer: A plot near Maheshwaram or Shamshabad can get a loan only if it meets our rules: HMDA-approved residential plots, or APF-approved ventures with HMDA and RERA approval. Gram Panchayat plots in an HMDA residential area with LRS paid get plot plus construction loans only. Minimum 100 sq yd net plot area.

Which plots qualify for a loan?
| Plot type | Loan we can look at |
|---|---|
| HMDA-approved plot in a residential area | Plot loan |
| Plot in a venture with APF approval, with both HMDA and RERA approval | Plot loan |
| Gram Panchayat plot in an HMDA residential area, with LRS paid | Plot plus construction loan only |
| Plot under 100 sq yd net area | Does not meet our minimum |
Near a highway or the airport does not make a plot loanable. Approval does. All final decisions rest with LIC HFL’s credit and legal teams. See our guides on a loan on an open plot and plot loans in Hyderabad.
What to check before you pay a token amount
- Layout approval: confirm the layout carries HMDA approval, and that the plot lies in a residential zone. Our HMDA and DTCP guide explains the difference.
- LRS: for unapproved or Gram Panchayat layouts, check whether LRS has been paid. See LRS and plot loans.
- RERA and approvals for ventures: ask the developer for the HMDA and RERA details.
- Land records: check the records on the Bhu Bharati portal. See Bhu Bharati and plot loans.
- Water bodies: check lake full tank level and buffer zones. See FTL and buffer zones.
- Title: get an encumbrance certificate and the link documents.
Will the bank also fund construction?
If you plan to build, a plot and construction loan can combine both. Plan your down payment with our down payment calculator. For plots in other southern and northern belts, see open plots near Patancheru, Medchal and Shadnagar.
