Interest rates and CIBIL score
What is the LIC HFL home loan interest rate now?
For loans up to ₹1 crore, LIC HFL’s home loan rates start at 7.40% for salaried borrowers and 7.55% for self-employed borrowers with a CIBIL score of 825 or more. Lower scores pay more, up to 9.95% (salaried) for scores of 201–599. See LIC HFL home loan rates, October 2026.
What is the minimum CIBIL score for an LIC home loan?
LIC HFL does not publish a single cut-off: its rate card covers scores from 825+ down to 201–599, and new-to-credit applicants too. A score of 750 or more makes approval smoother and keeps the salaried rate below 8.05%. See minimum CIBIL score for an LIC HFL home loan.
Whose CIBIL score counts in a joint home loan?
LIC HFL uses the highest CIBIL score among the joint applicants to fix the rate. See joint home loan with spouse.
Is the rate fixed or floating?
Most LIC HFL home loans are floating rate, so the rate moves with LIC HFL’s benchmark. The Sure Fixed scheme offers a fixed rate.
Eligibility and loan amount
How much home loan can I get?
It depends on your income, existing EMIs, age and the property value. RBI limits the loan to 90% of the property value up to ₹30 lakh, 80% for ₹30–75 lakh and 75% above ₹75 lakh. See home loan eligibility by salary or use the eligibility calculator.
What is the maximum tenure?
Up to 30 years for salaried and 20 years for self-employed borrowers, subject to your age and repaying capacity.
I am self-employed. Can I get an LIC HFL home loan?
Yes. LIC HFL usually asks for 3 years’ ITR with financials. Small business owners without regular ITRs can look at Griha Sugam. See LIC HFL home loan for self-employed.
Can NRIs and pensioners apply?
Yes. See NRI home loans and home loans for pensioners.
Documents and process
Which documents do I need?
Identity and address proof, income proof (salary slips and Form 16 for salaried; 3 years’ ITR and financials for self-employed), 6–12 months’ bank statements, and the property documents. Full checklist: documents required for a home loan.
How long does LIC HFL take to sanction a home loan?
It depends mainly on how complete your documents are and on the legal and technical check of the property. See LIC home loan process and approval time.
What is an APF-approved project?
A project whose legal and technical checks LIC HFL has already completed (Approved Project Finance). Buyers there only need their own eligibility checked. See APF in home loans and the list of LIC HFL approved projects.
Is stamp duty included in the loan?
No, not for homes above ₹10 lakh: RBI rules exclude stamp duty and registration from the value used to size the loan, so plan to pay them yourself. See the down payment calculator.
Plots, construction and balance transfer
Does LIC HFL give loans for plots?
Yes, for residential plots in approved layouts, and for building a house on the plot later. See plot loan in Hyderabad and HMDA vs DTCP plot loans.
Can I move my home loan from another bank to LIC HFL?
Yes, through a balance transfer, with a top-up if you need one. See home loan balance transfer and the Homecoming offer.
Prepayment, closure and tax
Are there prepayment or foreclosure charges?
Under RBI rules, lenders cannot charge prepayment or foreclosure penalties on floating-rate home loans taken by individuals. Check the terms of fixed-rate loans. See LIC HFL home loan foreclosure and the prepayment calculator.
What tax benefits does a home loan give?
Under the old tax regime, up to ₹2 lakh a year of interest on a self-occupied home (Section 24(b)) and up to ₹1.5 lakh of principal (Section 80C). The new regime does not allow these for a self-occupied home. See home loan tax benefits.
