FOIR म्हणजे काय? (गृहकर्ज eligibility चा मुख्य factor)
FOIR (Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio) म्हणजे तुमच्या net monthly income वर fixed monthly obligations (home loan EMI, car loan, personal loan, education loan, credit card minimum dues) चा टक्केवारी share. Banks FOIR वापरून decide करतात की तुम्ही additional home loan EMI afford करू शकता का.

8 strategies — existing कर्ज असताना eligibility वाढवणे
| Strategy | How it works | Typical impact |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Pre-close small EMIs | Car/personal loan close before home loan apply | ₹5K EMI cut ≈ ₹5–6L extra loan |
| 2. Joint applicant | Spouse/parent income added to FOIR base | 40–70% eligibility boost |
| 3. Credit card limit reduce | Lower assumed 5% obligation | ₹2–4L extra if high limits |
| 4. Extend existing loan tenure | Lower EMI on car/personal loan | Moderate FOIR relief |
| 5. FOIR-flexible lender | Some NBFCs/PSUs allow 60–65% | ₹3–8L extra vs strict bank |
| 6. Show rental/additional income | Valid ITR/bank credits for side income | Case-by-case |
| 7. Improve CIBIL before apply | Better rate = lower EMI for same amount | Indirect FOIR help |
| 8. Balance transfer existing loan | Lower rate = lower EMI on old loan | Frees FOIR headroom |
Case study 1: Car loan EMI — eligibility ₹18L → ₹32L
Profile: Salaried engineer, Nashik Cidco, net salary ₹82,000, car loan EMI ₹14,500 (₹4.2L outstanding), CIBIL 768. Initial eligibility: ~₹18 lakh at 55% FOIR. Action: Pre-closed car loan (₹4.2L from savings + bonus), added spouse co-applicant (₹35,000 net). Result: Combined eligibility ~₹32 lakh — enough for target 2BHK. Timeline: 3 weeks from car closure to home loan sanction.
Case study 2: Credit card limits — hidden FOIR killer
Profile: Shop owner (self-employed), ITR income ₹9.6L/year, 3 credit cards total limit ₹6.5 lakh. Bank counted ₹32,500/month (5% rule) despite zero balance — FOIR looked 58% before any home EMI. Action: Closed 2 cards, reduced third limit to ₹1L. Effective obligation dropped to ₹5,000/month. Result: Eligibility increased by ~₹22 lakh. Lesson: unused high limits hurt FOIR silently.
