In Bharat, family comes first, and so do homes spacious enough for everyone. Many Indian families dream of owning a spacious home. This is true whether you are newly married, living with family, or planning to support your parents or children.
Buying that dream home by yourself can be extremely stressful for your finances. That is where a Joint Home Loan from Piramal Finance steps in. It does more than just divide the EMI. It helps you get a bigger loan, save on taxes, and repay it more easily.

What is a Joint Home Loan?

A joint home loan is when two people apply for a home loan together. This usually involves spouses, siblings, parents, and children. Both applicants are responsible for repaying the loan. They also share benefits like tax savings and better loan eligibility.
A smart choice is buying a more valuable property. You can share the costs without giving up your dream.

Who Can Be a Co-Applicant?

Co-applicants in a joint home loan must usually be close relatives. The following combinations are allowed:

Co-applicants must not be co-owners of the property. However, experts recommend co-ownership to maximize tax benefits.
Depending on the terms, even non-resident Indians (NRIs) can apply. Both applicants' understanding of finances is the best. At least one should be a co-owner of the property.

Why Choose a Joint Home Loan with Piramal Finance?

FAQs

Is it mandatory for both applicants to be co-owners of the property?
Not always. However, to receive individual tax benefits, both applicants must also be home co-owners.
Can I apply for a joint home loan with a friend?
Piramal Finance lets you take a joint home loan with your wife or other close family members. This includes parents, children, or siblings. You cannot take a joint home loan with friends or business partners.
Will both applicants' credit scores be considered?
Yes. The team will evaluate the applicant's and co-applicant's credit history and scores. A stronger score can lead to quicker approval and better joint home loan interest rates.
How is EMI split between the two applicants?
Flexibility exists here. You can decide the EMI contribution ratio based on mutual agreement or income share. What matters is that the borrower repays the loan on time, regardless of how they split it.
Are there any tax benefits for both applicants?

Absolutely. If both are co-owners:

  • Each can claim up to Rs. 1.5 lakh under Section 80C on the income (principal)
  • And up to Rs. 2 lakh under Section 24(b) (interest)

This can significantly reduce your tax outgo.

Can women get special benefits under joint home loans?
Yes. If a woman is a co-owner and co-applicant, she might qualify for lower interest rates. This can help her save more during the loan period. At Piramal Finance, we help women own property. We also offer them good loan term.
What happens if one applicant cannot pay?
Both applicants are equally responsible for repayment. If one person cannot pay, the other must legally cover the EMI Payments. Therefore, planning your finances is important. Choosing the right co-applicant is also crucial.
Do Both Applicants Need to Own the Property?
Not always. However, if both applicants want to claim tax benefits, co-ownership is necessary. That means their names should be on the property title deed, not just the loan application.
