Along with all legal documents relating to the house that you would wish to buy,  banks will also ask you to submit

• Identity proof

• For business persons/ self-employed: Form 16 and last 6 months bank statements / balance sheet, (as applicable).
• The completed application form along with your photograph.

RBI advices you not be in a hurry to seal the deal quickly and recommends-

• To discuss and seek more information on any waivers in terms and conditions provided by the commercial bank in this regard.
• For example; some banks insist on submission of Life Insurance policies of the borrower/ guarantor equal to the loan amount assigned in favor of the commercial bank.
• There are usually amount ceilings for this condition which can also be waived by appropriate authority.

As is always recommended a careful read of the fine print of the bank’s scheme carefully and discussing any doubts you have is a very good practice for you to get a safe and appropriate for you deal.
