Also know these pointers before availing a LAP:
• Decide on the basis of what you really need. Also see if the cost fits into your estimated budget.
• Compare the quotations given and interest rates from 3-4 banks, select the one which offers maximum benefit and serves your purpose.
• Also determine the tenure of the loan. The EMI may come less for longer tenure, but the total interest outgo will be higher.
• Know all about processing fees and time. Some banks may waive the processing fee for processing loan but they build this cost on their interest rates.
• Consider pre-payment options. All banks charges 2% - 3% of the loan in case you decide to pre-pay the outstanding amount.
• Default in payments results in penalties. It can also adversely affect your credit history and profile. So make sure to make your payments on time.
• Make sure that all deals and offers agreed upon are supported by relevant papers. So make sure you always ask for a letter in a banks letter-head mentioning the likes of, exact rate of interests, processing fees, pre-payment charges along with interest-schedule.
• Also before signing the documents, make sure you recheck all terms and conditions.
• Do not at any circumstance give any false information. This may amount to fraud and could land you in trouble.
• Do not sign any blank documents. Even if it takes you a few hours to fill-up the form, please do so. Do not leave anything for the executive to fill-up.
• Finally, once you have received a loan do your best to pay it back as quickly as possible. Banks make their money off the interest they charge and the sooner you pay back a loan the less money you will have to pay in interest.
