Frequently Asked Questions
How does a land and construction loan work?
This loan finances the purchase of a plot and subsequent construction. The loan is disbursed in stages: first for land purchase, then in tranches as construction progresses. Interest is charged only on the disbursed amount until full disbursement. You need approved building plans and a construction timeline.
What is the interest rate for construction loans?
Construction loan rates are similar to home loan rates (8.25-9.5%) since the property serves as collateral. However, during the construction phase, you pay only pre-EMI interest on the disbursed amount. Full EMI begins after complete disbursement or the end of the moratorium period.
Can I claim tax benefits on a construction loan?
Tax benefits under Section 24(b) and Section 80C are available only after construction is completed. The total interest paid during the construction period (pre-construction interest) can be claimed in five equal instalments starting from the year of completion. Construction must be completed within 5 years of loan disbursement.
