RBI Home Loan Guidelines 2025: What Every Majestan Realty Buyer Should Know
Are you planning to buy a new home in 2025? With the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintaining the repo rate at 6.5%, it's a great time to consider investing in real estate. Whether you're eyeing a premium villa or a budget-friendly apartment from Majestan Realty, understanding the latest RBI home loan guidelines can help you make a smarter, stress-free buying decision.
📊 Why RBI’s New Guidelines Matter for Homebuyers
The RBI is committed to making home loans more affordable, transparent, and borrower-friendly. With the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) now at 4%, banks have more liquidity — meaning home loans may become easier to get and more competitive in interest rates.
Here’s how these changes benefit you, the homebuyer:
💰 Updated Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio Structure
Depending on the property cost, you can now get up to 90% financing for your dream home:
| Property Value | Max LTV Ratio |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹30 lakh | 90% |
| ₹30 lakh – ₹75 lakh | 80% |
| Above ₹75 lakh | 75% |
So, if you're considering a 2 or 3 BHK home by Majestan Realty priced below ₹30 lakh, you may only need to pay 10% upfront.
🔄 Prepayment Policies: More Freedom, Zero Penalty
One of the best updates from RBI is the removal of prepayment penalties on floating-rate home loans. That means if your financial situation improves, you can close your loan early without any extra cost. Even for fixed-rate loans, the penalty is now only 3% (down from 5%).
✅ This makes early closure easier and more economical for Majestan Realty buyers.
📁 Faster Documentation and Digital Processing
All banks and NBFCs must now digitally process and verify documents, reducing loan approval time and fraud risks. Moreover, lenders are legally required to return your original property documents within 30 days of closing the loan. If delayed, they’ll owe you ₹5,000 per day.
At Majestan Realty, we assist buyers with loan guidance and paperwork, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
🔍 Credit Score Reporting – Now Every 15 Days
Your credit score will now update every 15 days instead of monthly. This gives lenders quicker access to your most recent credit behavior, helping you secure faster loan approvals.
📝 Tip: Keep your credit score above 750 for the best loan deals.
🧾 Documentation Checklist for RBI-Compliant Home Loans
Ensure you have the following documents ready when applying for a home loan for a Majestan Realty property:
| Document Type | Required Documents |
|---|---|
| Identity Proof | Aadhaar / Passport / Voter ID / DL |

| Property Docs | Sale deed / Allotment letter from Majestan |
| Bank Statements | Last 6 months’ records |
