  1. I and my daughter bought jointly home loan of 50 lacs from SBI in March 2017. But till date I have not received pmay of 2.67 lacs. From my bankers. We are jointly paying the emis as well and we both are Co owner s in everything from society maintenance, loan repayment, etc. Are we eligible separately for the same. Bank is not responding nor advising inspite of several requests, bank manager is interested only in selling mutual funds. I took some amount for repayment but he insisted to buy mutual fund. Otherwise not entertaining. Advise please.

    1. You should go thru the process before availing the loan. However, pls check with your bank in case you are eligible and by any chance your loan is falling in the category.
