What Is a Home Loan Top-Up?
A home loan top-up from Piramal Finance is an additional amount you can borrow over your existing home loan. You do not need to mortgage a new property or start a new loan application. Approval is based on your repayment record, property value, and outstanding balance of your current Piramal Finance home loan.
How Does a Home Loan Top-Up Work?
Suppose you have a Rs. 40 lakh home loan with Piramal Finance and have repaid Rs. 10 lakhs over 5 years. If your repayment history is strong and your property’s value has appreciated, we may offer you an additional Rs. 5 to 15 lakhs.
The top-up amount can be clubbed with your current EMI or paid separately. Interest rates are usually like, or slightly higher than, your home loan rate, and the tenure generally matches the remaining term of your existing loan.
Eligibility Criteria for a Piramal Finance Home Loan Top-Up
To qualify, you must:
- Be an existing Piramal Finance home loan customer.
- Have all original applicants/co-applicants retained for the top-up application.
- Have a ready residential property with your home loan fully disbursed (no partial disbursements).
- Have no pending Post Disbursement Documents (PDDs).
- Maintain a repayment track record with:
- Minimum 12 months on books (MOB) after the first EMI (pre-EMIs not counted).
- Nil bounces in the last 3 months and not more than 1 bounce in the last 12 months (paid in the same month).
- No more than 3 EMI clearances in representation in the last 12 months.
- No “30 Days Past Due” ever during the loan tenure.
- If you have multiple loans with Piramal Finance, repayment history for all accounts will be reviewed.
- Meet our income and credit score requirements as per assessment programs.
How Much Top-Up Can You Avail?
- The total loan exposure (existing loan + top-up) must remain within location and program-specific caps.
- You can avail up to 70–80% of the market value of your property (as per Piramal Finance BT + Top-up LTV grid).
- For example, if your property is worth Rs. 60 lakh and you owe Rs. 30 lakh, you may be eligible for a Rs. 10–15 lakh top-up, depending on your eligibility.
