Smart Home loan

A home loan that enables you to save on interest payments and thereby reduce tenure of the loan.

Why choose a Smart Home loan?

Your Smart Home is operated through a Smart Home account with an overdraft limit equal to the amount of the loan disbursed. Your Smart Home account would be your loan account.

All you need to do is to put your usual savings, in the Smart Home account. Depending on the savings you put in the Smart Home account, you can reduce the quantum of interest paid and thereby reduce the tenure of your loan.

Fees and charges

There are no prepayment charges for a Smart Home loan.

Processing fee: A total of 1% of the loan amount sanctioned or INR10,000, whichever is higher, will be applicable as processing fee (plus applicable taxes5). The fee will be collected in two parts: INR5,000 + applicable taxes5 is to be paid upfront along with the loan application and the balance processing fees amount + applicable taxes5 is to be paid before disbursal of the loan. Processing fees paid is non-refundable

Commitment fees: Up-to 1% fees on amount above 25% of the Smart Home loan with Commitment Fee/Smart LAP with Commitment Fee sanctioned amount. In the event if the excess funds in the Smart Home loan with Commitment Fee/Smart LAP with Commitment Fee account are more than 25% of the Smart Home Loan with Commitment Fee/Smart LAP with Commitment Fee sanctioned amount ('threshold limit'), then the bank may at its sole discretion charge a Non-utilization/Commitment fee of 1% p.a. on the balance amount maintained over and above the threshold.

Example – If Non- utilization/Commitment fees is 1%, original sanctioned Smart loan amount is INR2,000,000 and limit defined as 25% i.e. INR500,000. In this scenario if the fund in the Smart Home loan with Commitment Fee/Smart LAP with Commitment Fee account is INR600,000, then the Non-utilization/Commitment fees of 1% will be charged on INR100,000. (This is for illustration purpose only) 

Conversion fees: INR 5,000 + applicable taxes are payable at the time of converting the loan from Normal to Smart, Smart to Normal or within different variants of Smart loan.

Note: For processing prepayment requests, customers are required to send HSBC a written instruction communicating their desire to prepay with their intent of wanting to reduce the loan tenure or EMI. In case no clear instruction is received to reduce loan tenure or EMI, we will by default reduce the loan tenure basis the prepayment amount received. In case excess funds/amounts are received towards the loan account without any written instructions from the customer to prepay, the amount will be credited to the Smart Home account and will impact the available balance in the account.
