How to apply for a home loan or a property loan with B- Katha?
Ideally, it’s not feasible to buy a B- Katha plot. No matter how cheap you obtain the property, there is always a hurdle in obtaining the housing license and other vital amenities from the local authority. It’s against the law for the local authority to give such licenses and amenities for B Katha property but people bribe local authority and get it done or these local authorities demand a bribe and get the job done. The point to note is that these properties are always on the verge of destruction if the situation demands and are most vulnerable to a complete loss. So, ensure that you are not buying a B Katha property and if already done, convert it to A-Katha from the local authority at the earliest.
Apply with a decent NDFC or a co-operative bank for the home loan. Follow the procedure mentioned above. Since it’s a B Katha, the property is subjected to be charged 1-2 percent more as a rate of interest.
