The 66% young population – below 35 years of age, are emerging as young millennials borrowers of home-loans.


By Pankaj Bansal

To increase average home loan ticket size for buyers and to give a booster to Indian Economy, it is essential to further relax Income Tax slabs and increase rebates under IT sections 80C, 80EE, 80EEA and 24(b) of the Act. 66% young population – below 35 years of age, are emerging as young millennials borrowers of home-loans. The ticket size continues to increase more for women than men.

Growing Urbanization

Currently, one-third of India’s population reside in cities and it is estimated to go up to 50% by 2030. There is a steady rise in the number of households with a shift towards nuclear families and increased urbanisation.

Home-loans market driven by young borrowers

The 66% young population – below 35 years of age, are emerging as young millennials borrowers of home-loans. It is also true that home-loans market is driven by young borrowers within the age group of 26-35 years – about 25% and also by people in the age group of 36-45 years – about 28%. These are all active home-loan audience and jointly account for 53% of annual originations.

The average ticket size of a home-loan of young borrowers has continued to increase over the last 5 years, with a CAGR of 6.2%. The ticket size continues to increase more for women than men. The cumulative active home-loan base of these borrowers has seen continuous growth over the last 3 years at a CAGR of 3.5%.

These young borrowers have been the reason for change in the home-loan market.

India CSR

Volume growth in home-loans

Within the affordable segment, volume growth in home-loans of Rs.15-35 lakhs, over the last 4-5 years, indicate shifting preferences of buyers towards higher ticket sizes. Rural Housing demand for mid-range and higher ticket sizes has continued to increase over the last 5 years too. Share of annual originations (volume) of Rs.35-75 lakhs ticket size has increased by >4% in the last 5 years. Share of annual originations of Rs.75 lakhs+ ticket size has increased from 0.37% to 0.87% in the last 5 years.

Share of annual originations of <Rs.15 lakhs ticket size has declined over the last 5 years, largely due to falling demand for very small ticket size segment of <Rs.2L.

Input cost in real-estate has increased the rates

The dearth of disposable income has been a deterrent factor for salaried class towards taking home-loan and buying real-estate. Since the input cost in real-estate has increased the rates, the salaried class is left with no other option but to approach for home-loans from financial institutions. Interestingly, the tenure of repayment of home-loan is fluctuating between 11-30 years.

Salaried class in home-loans and EMIs

There is also a deterrent factor for salaried class in home-loans and EMIs. The EMIs are no more supportive since the financial institutions first draw larger part of interest in the EMIs and principal component is kept less in more than first 50% of the EMIs. As the EMIs near completion, the interest component becomes negligible and principal component is much higher.

India CSR

Higher tenure for loan repayment

Even if the buyer has the provision of pre-payment of home-loan, he ends up paying the larger portion of principal amount rather than saving on the interest. Further, the financial institutions also levy heavy fees on pre-closure of loans. In case the buyer opts for higher tenure for loan repayment, it then makes it difficult for the buyer to invest in second property.

One question that has been asked frequently is – “If the principal and interest amount are predefined, why the EMIs can’t have equal amount throughout the tenure.”

Repayment of principal amount in a home-loan

Coming to tax benefit, repayment of principal amount in a home-loan qualifies for deduction under section 80C, which has an upper limit of Rs. 1.50 Lakhs per annum. Since the same section – 80C, accounts a number of other investments including PF, PPF and life insurance policies etc., it becomes impossible for a buyer to take advantage of any benefit out of this section.

Buyers are looking forward to increase in this limit in Union Budget-2022 since this limit has not increased in last many years.

Extend tax benefit to the buyers

On the tax benefit for interest payment, since under section 20(b) of the Income Tax Act, there is a cap of Rs. 2 Lakh per annum on the interest part of the home-loan, home-loans being larger in size, the buyers are unable to take much benefit of the same too. To extend tax benefit to the buyers the government has also added few sub-sections 80EE, 80EEA under the Income Tax Act but the volume of loan is not allowing buyers to gain desired additional benefits out of these sub-sections.

What perhaps needed in the Union Budget 2022 is to bring dynamic changes in the income-tax slabs and increase the rebates under section 80C, 80EE, 80EEA and 24(b) of the Income Tax Act.

Don’t wait to buy ‘real-estate’, buy real-estate and wait

One of the greatest philanthropists Andrew Carnegie said – “Ninety percent (90%) of all millionaires become so through owning real-estate.” Andrew Carnegie is one of the five people who built America, the other four being Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and Henry Ford. Harv Eker, an author and businessman, known for his theories on wealth and motivation said – “Don’t wait to buy ‘real-estate’, buy real-estate and wait”. These two statements said all about owning real-estate and what it could mean to a buyer.

Globally, investment in real-estate is directly related to the future of a buyer and also growth of the economy, and so be in India.
