Critical Policy Differences

Unlike standard home loans, plot loans have specific constraints you must understand:

  • Funding Cap: Maximum funding is 75% of the property value, requiring a 25% down payment.
  • Shorter Tenure: Maximum tenure is usually 15 years, compared to 30 years for home loans.
  • Construction Clause: Many lenders require construction to begin within a specific period (e.g., 2-3 years).
  • Tax Implications: Plot loans alone offer no tax benefits. Benefits only start after construction begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a tax benefit on a plot loan?
A plot loan itself does not provide tax benefits. However, once you start construction, you can claim benefits under Section 80C (Principal) and Section 24b (Interest).
What is the maximum loan-to-value (LTV)?
LIC Housing Finance offers up to 75% of the plot's market value. The remaining 25% must be contributed by the borrower as a down payment.
Are unapproved plots eligible for a loan?
No, LIC HFL only provides loans for approved residential plots from authorized development authorities. Unapproved or agricultural land is not eligible.
Is there a construction time limit?
Typically, lenders expect you to start or complete construction within a specified timeframe (often 3-5 years) to maintain the home loan category benefits.
