Any eligible applicant who choose a carpet area within 60 sq.m(645 sqft) of a flat/house then the applicant gets an home loan interest rate upto INR 12,00,000/- availed from the bank.
And if any eligible applicant is applying for 2 bhk of 975 sqft super built up area which has 644 sq.ft of carpet area, then the flat might costaround Rs. 40,00,000. Now, the applicant can enjoy interest rate subsidy on housing loan for Rs. 12,00,000.
