Features of HDFC Commercial Property Loan

The following are the key features of HDFC's Commercial Property Loan:

  • The loan can be taken for any of the following purposes:
    • Purchase of a built-up office space
    • Extension, renovation or construction of an office space

HDFC Bank Commercial Property Loan Interest Rates and Other Charges:

The Commercial Property Loan comes under the Adjustable Rate linked to the Reserve Bank of India's Policy Repo Rate. The interest rate on the loan could be reset every 3 months if the Policy Repo Rate changes. If the interest rate goes up, the interest component in the equated monthly instalment (EMI) will increase and the principal component will go down.

This in turn, will lead to increase in loan tenure. If the interest rate decreases, then the EMI will have a higher principal repayment component and a lower interest component, and the loan tenure will decrease.

The current rates of interest at HDFC Bank are as follows:
