   Modification of Key features in the existing Housing loan and LAP

Branches are aware that features of Housing Loan and Loan against property
(LAP) products were modified and circulated to branches vide our Circular no:
3087 dated: 03.02.2024.
To have more focus on the retail loan segment, we have once again revised
the features of Housing loan and LAP by adding up new products. Detailed
circular on the revised product schemes shall be circulated to branches once
the products are developed in the NEWGEN application.
To address the immediate requirements, we have revised some of the key
features of our Housing loan and LAP scheme which is annexed along with
this circular.
Branches /CPHs/CPCs and RDMs are advised to take note of the revisions and
suitably recommend the proposals.
