Features of ICICI Bank Mortgage Guarantee Home Loans
- ICICI Bank extra home loan offers upto 20% extra loan amount on original eligible loan. E.g. If you wish to buy a flat of Rs 50 Lakhs and banks are offering only Rs 40 Lakhs (80% of flat value), now they can offer 20% additional on your eligible home loan i.e. Rs 8 Lakhs more (Rs 40 Lakhs x 20%)
- This home loan has an option to extend repayment of home loan period till 67 years of age. Currently, all home loan repayments need to be done by 60 years only.
- Maximum amount offered under this home loan scheme is Rs 75 Lakhs.
- This home loan offer is available only in four cities currently viz.Mumbai, NCR, Bengaluru and Surat. It would be extended to some more cities soon.
- Increase in home loan amount and extension of tenure comes with 1% to 2% upfront fee. This upfront fee would be on entire loan amount.
- This upfront fee would depend on nature of income, extension period tenure, age of the loan seeker, loan to value ratio etc.
Positive factors of Mortgage Guarantee Home Loan from ICICI Bank
- Such home loans are best suitable for young-age and middle-aged individuals where they can repay home loan till their 67 years of age.
- Best suitable for salaried (marketing staff) or self-employed individuals with irregular monthly income and seeking home loans upto maximum of Rs 75 Lakhs.
- Good scheme for individuals who are seeking to buy properties in Tier-II / Tier-III cities (provided ICICI bank quickly extends to other cities too) where loans are being given at lesser ratio earlier.
Negative factors of this Mortgage Guarantee Home Loan Scheme
- It comes with 1% to 2% as upfront fee on total value of home loan and not on incremental home loan value. In above example, on Rs 50 Lakhs flat, if you are eligible for 80% of flat value and you want to go for 20% incremental amount under this new scheme, you would be still paying upfront fee on Rs 48 Lakhs and not on Rs 8 Lakhs.
- Currently this home loan scheme is limited to 4 cities.
- Loan value upto Rs 75 Lakhs may not be sufficient in metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru.
How is ICICI Bank offering such home loan?
ICICI Bank in association with India Mortgage Corporation (IMC) has launched this offer. Such IMC would guarantee the incremental risk in case of default. Hence bank does not have risk in providing such offer. Such product is already famous in USA and Canada.

Jothieswaran, Happy to talk to a 24 years doctor working in Govt. Service and has high ambition to buy house quickly. Good to hear that. Eligibities depend on your income. Since you are earning 50K per month and has 24 years age, you would be eligble for home loan of Rs 25 Lakhs to Rs 32 Lakhs for 30 years tenure. HDFC Offers Rs 25 Lakhs and ICICI Bank offers Rs 32 Lakhs as an examples. You can visit bank sites and get the eligible loan amount
