    Tax Benefits of NRI Home Loans

    Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, NRIs are eligible for tax benefits on home loans if they file income tax returns in India. This tax deduction is for the interest component of the home loan and the principal component.

    If your home for which you have taken the home loan for is lying vacant in India, you can avail the following tax benefits on your home loan:

    Interest component: Deduction of up to Rs.2 lakh on the interest amount repayments

    Principal component: Deduction of up to Rs.1.5 lakh on the principal amount repayments

    If the home has been rented out, then the entire interest payable component can be claimed as a tax deduction on your home loan.

    NRI Home Loan Reviews

    • HDFC Limited
      "Worst possible experience for NRI home "
      0.5 0.5/5 "Unacceptable"
      Absolutely don't go to hdfc for an NRI home loan. They are bunch of incompetent unhappy employees who don't have a clue on what they are supposed to be doing. They can't understand even a simple bank statement from a US bank. Don't waste your time. Go to one of the other Banks in India. After asking for a ton of documents and wasting 2 months of my time, I withdrew my loan application and paid the builder from my own funds. Every other day, I get an email asking to call and the person I am looking for is never available to take my call. They take a message over the photo but never call back. By far the worst bank for NRI home loans in my opinion. Funny thing is I had taken an NRI home loan from hdfc in the past and paid off the loan 5 years ahead of time. Between myself and my wife we make a decent amount of money. We own 7 independent homes in USA and 5 more in India. We get a rent of more than Rs 1 lakh in India per month which is more than enough for the EMI. Totally avoid this bank

      "Worst bank ever"
      0.5 0.5/5 "Unacceptable"
      I took a NRI home loan from Ambawadi Branch, Ahmedabad. can't even handle local, BOB is not even eligible to be a local bank forget about international. I have NRI home loan and savings account with them. First of all they told us they can do all paperwork in 15 days it took over a month for them to do everything. after the loan is done. it is impossible to get hold of anyone who can answer your question over the phone. they cut the phone or never pick up, never answer any email ever. really Frustrating. So beware before you open account here or take a loan. go somewhere else

      "Worst Customer experience -very disappointed - Don't take it"
      0.5 0.5/5 "Unacceptable"
      I took NRI loan from HDFC in London. Their staff are pretty rude and unresponsive. They are worst than SBI. They have hidden quite a number of things - e.g., whenever i gave a cheque in London office for prepayment, they send the cheque to India and only the date when they receive the cheque in India is considered as payment date. For one of my prepayment, they took almost 10 days against their SLA of 5 days. And the worst part is that they charged simple interest for that. One time, they calculated wrong EMI and sent to the bank for processing. It bounced because of lack of funds and several charges were levied. I am chasing bank for 3 months for their mistakes but I am not getting enough response. Worst experience. Overall, I feel that they hide a lot of facts and try to take as much money as possible from thecustomers.

      "Fraud HDFC"
      0.5 0.5/5 "Unacceptable"
      I took NRI loan. It's a big mistake. I should never have taken. The staff are rude. There are many hidden charges. They hide simple interest charges of prepayment. They accept prepayment cheques in London on a certain date (X) and they take 10 days to send the cheques to Delhi. So, you will get charged 10 days of extra simple interest. The communication of the staff is extremely poor. They won't say any details of hidden charges. If they overcharge by mistake, they take ages(even months) to even start acknowledging the problem. I wouldn't recommend thinking of HDFC when you avail NRI loans. Highly fraudulent institution. I had SBI loan in the past. I think they are much better.

      "Best for home loan.."
      0.5 5.0/5 "Blown Away!"
      Without any payslips they approved the home loan. For NRI customers banks are offering up to 24% of rate but here in Kotak Mahindra bank they offered me like 9%. Kotak was happily processed the loan. For NRI customers Kotak will be best option for loans.

      I had no idea about a different home loan schemes for NRIs until a colleague advised to me check the various NRI home loan schemes for the NRIs. The loan officer at IBHFL assessed my financial credential and based on my needs offered me a customized home loan plan. I am glad that the EMI is affordable also the repayment option is quite flexible.
