Buying a plot and building your dream home on it is one of the most fulfilling investments you can make. But for many, the challenge lies in financing both — the purchase of the land and the construction that follows.
The good news? Most banks and housing finance companies offer home loans on plots — commonly known as plot + construction loans. These allow you to buy the land first and then build your home within a specified period.
Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide on how to apply for a home loan on plots, what documents you’ll need, and how to ensure a smooth approval process.
🏦 1. Understand the Type of Loan You Need
There are two main financing options when it comes to land:
- Plot Loan: For buying a residential plot only.
- Composite Home Loan (Plot + Construction Loan): Covers both plot purchase and house construction.
If your plan is to build your home soon after buying land, the composite home loan is the best option. It helps you save on interest and gives you tax benefits (on both principal and interest) once construction begins.
🧾 2. Check Eligibility Criteria
Before applying, make sure you meet the basic eligibility requirements:
✅ Age: 21–65 years
✅ Income: Stable monthly income (salaried or self-employed)
✅ Credit Score: Minimum 700+ for quick approval
✅ Property Approval: Plot must be RERA-registered and NMRDA/NIT approved
✅ Loan Tenure: Usually 15–20 years for composite loans
✅ Loan-to-Value (LTV): Most banks offer up to 80% of plot value
💡 Tip: Projects from trusted developers like Saidham Builders ensure faster approval since their plots are already RERA & NMRDA compliant.
📝 3. Prepare Required Documents
Keep these documents ready before applying:
🧍 For Individuals (Salaried):
- PAN / Aadhaar card
- Salary slips (last 3 months)
- Form 16 or Income Tax Return
- Bank statement (last 6 months)
💼 For Self-Employed:
- Business registration certificate
- ITR & balance sheet (last 2–3 years)
- Bank statement (last 12 months)
📜 Property Documents:
- Sale deed or agreement to sell
- Plot layout approval (NMRDA / RERA)
- Title deed & encumbrance certificate
- Estimate of construction cost (for composite loan)
🏗️ 4. Choose the Right Lender
Compare offers from top lenders such as:
- SBI Home Loans
- HDFC Ltd.
- LIC Housing Finance
- ICICI Bank
- PNB Housing Finance
Look at factors like:
- Interest rate (usually 8.5%–10.5%)
- Processing fee
- Prepayment options
- Disbursement flexibility (for construction stages)
Many banks have tie-ups with reputed developers — choosing RERA-approved plots from Saidham Builders’ Sainagri Projects (13, 16, 17) can speed up loan processing.
🏦 5. Submit Your Application
Once you’ve finalized your lender, you can apply:
- Online: Most banks allow digital applications with document uploads.
- Offline: Visit the bank branch with your documents and property details.
The lender will then:
- Verify your documents and income.
- Conduct a technical and legal check of the plot.
- Approve your loan amount based on eligibility.
For composite loans, the disbursement happens in phases — part at the time of plot purchase and part during construction stages.
💡 6. Ensure Timely Construction
Most banks require you to start construction within 2 years of loan sanction (for composite loans).
Delays may impact your tax benefits or trigger additional clauses, so plan your construction timeline accordingly.
