Illustration:
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is a government subsidy scheme for families buying their first house, though there is no upper Loan Amount and Tenure cap for the scheme, however the subsidy benefit would be available on the initial Rs. 6 Lakh. It would be computed at a rate of interest of 6.5% p.a on a maximum amount of Rs. 6 Lakh or the loan amount whichever is lower for 15 years tenure with discounting rate of 9%. For 6 Lakh the interest subsidy comes to around Rs. 2,20,000. Hence an upfront subsidy of Rs. 2,20,000 would be claimed by the bank from NHB and the same would be adjusted against the outstanding amount in the Loan Account. The loan outstanding would reduce and result in lower EMI of approximately Rs. 2,000.
