Central Bank of India in pact with Tata Housing for loan to pensioners
MUMBAI: State-owned Central Bank of India today signed an agreement
with Tata Housing to offer a special home loan product exclusively
designed for pensioners.
"We have signed an agreement with Tata Housing for our newly developed
home loan product that will be offered to the pensioners at the
upcoming Tata Housing's project at Washim on Mumbai's northern
outskirts," Central Bank General Manager R Sangapure told PTI.
The product, CentHome Swabhiman Plus, which is yet to be approved by
the regulator RBI, seeks to fund home buyers in the age group of 55-70
at a concessional rate, he said.
While loans under Rs 30 lakh will attract only the bank's prevailing
base rate, those above this amount will be available at 0.25 per cent
above the base rate. The bank has scrapped processing fee on loans
under this product, he said.
Tata Housing is developing a township at Washim, where one of the
projects with 150 housing units is being developed for pensioners.
Tata Housing Managing Director Brotin Banerjee could not be reached
for comments.
Explaining the rationale behind the product, Sangapure said, "this is
aimed at helping the elderly as banks mostly do not lend to people
after or near retirement. We thought of changing this and helping the
needy home buyers.
The product seeks to offer reverse mortgage option to customers unable
to service the loan after some time. It also seeks to fund the
borrowers who want to avail of the special medical fund being created
by Tata Housing, which has priced Washim housing units in Rs 25-40
lakh range, Sangapure said.
About the city-based lender's plan to launch a special product to help
redevelopment of old housing societies in Mumbai, which seeks to
directly finance the residents of the society instead of the
developer, as is the practice, he said, the bank will approach RBI
again with the proposal.
RBI has objected to the bank's plan to fund demolition and
rehabilitation costs under this scheme, he said.

ReplyDeleteReverse mortgage is a nice financial instrument dedicated to the senior citizens in the country whose age is 62 or more. This helps the senior citizens who could not have accumulated substantial retirement fund but who have substantial equity in their homes. It is like borrowing from oneself and the lender the homeowner would not have to make monthly payments to the lender. Instead, the lender is responsible to make payments to homeowner but at the cost of reduced equity of the homeowner. Here, it is to be noted that the reverse mortgage loans are backed by the Federal Government. In case of default by the lender, the amount is paid by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
