Unleashing The Power Of The Loan Against Property Interest Saver
You can raise funds for your home in many different ways. One of them is to unlock the value of your immovable property. You can raise funds by taking a loan against the property you possess. Loan Against Property (LAP) is a loan disbursed against the mortgage of your property with the lender. It is extended against the latest market value of the residential or commercial property owned and lent.
What if you can decide the amount of money you want to pay while taking an LAP? What if LAP facilitates saving the cost of interest and repaying the loan much faster?
Here's a list of features and advantages of Loan Against Property Interest Saver (LAP-IS).
How does the LAP-IS work?
It is mandatory to open a Flexi Current Account while availing LAPIS. The interest liability of your LAPIS loan account comes down to the extent of the surplus funds parked in your operative flexi current account. In other words, LAPIS allows you to link your loan account with your flexi current account. You will be allowed to withdraw or deposit funds from your operative flexi current account whenever you need.
Now, you must be wondering, how the product helps you save the interest cost and repay the loan faster.
The answer is here.
The Interest on your LAP-IS loan will be calculated on the outstanding balance of loan minus the balance in the flexi current account that you maintain at the end of the day. The greater the balance in your flexi current account, lesser will be the loan interest paid on LAP-IS.
