- From the date of the loan disbursal, until the end of the first 36 months, the loan borrower only needs to pay the interest. This makes SBI Yuva Home Loan, one of the only Housing Loans in India, with a Moratorium Period.
- The borrower is required to repay the principal amount of the loan only after the moratorium period of 36 months, making it more viable for young borrowers who may not enjoy a high income at the time of taking the loan.
- This Home Loan can be borrowed by a single individual, or with a family member as co-applicant.
- The scheme comes with no hidden costs, making it easier for the borrower to gauge the extent of expenses.
- In case the need be, one can also opt for paying the premium for Home Loan insurance cover along with the Home Loan EMI.
