Ever dreamt of owning your own place? That feeling of security and stepping into a space that's truly yours is unmatched. But for many, especially young earners, the question of home loan affordability looms large.

If your monthly income is INR 1 lakh, you might wonder, "How much home loan can I get on my salary?"

While income is a crucial factor, lenders consider a holistic picture that includes your age, loan tenure, credit score, and financial stability when determining your eligibility. Here's a breakdown to help you navigate this exciting journey:

Understanding Home Loan Eligibility

• Income: A salary of INR 1 lakh puts you in a good position to buy a home. Lenders typically lend a maximum loan amount that is 60 to 70 times your net monthly salary. This translates to a potential loan amount of around INR 60- 70 lakhs for a home loan on an INR 1 lakh salary.
• Good Credit Score: A high credit score, ideally above 750, indicates responsible financial behavior and influences your interest rate and loan eligibility.
• Existing Debts: Existing EMIs like car loans or personal loans impact your affordability. Lower debt obligations mean a higher potential loan amount.
• Employment Type: Salaried individuals with stable employment history are generally considered less risky borrowers.
• Age : Lenders prefer an age group of 18 to 65 years
