Loan Against Property for NRIs
Can an NRI get a loan against property they own in India? Yes — if you already own residential or commercial property in India, you can borrow against it for any purpose, typically up to 60-75% of its current market value, without selling the asset.
WHAT IT'S FOR
Unlock the equity you already have
Most lenders don't restrict end-use for Loan Against Property. Common reasons NRIs use it:
🏢
Business expansion
Funding a venture in India or abroad
🏡
Fund another purchase
Down payment on a second property
🎓
Education costs
Your own or a family member's
💳
Debt consolidation
Replace costlier borrowing with secured, lower-rate financing
60–75%
Typical loan-to-value (LTV) ratio — how much of your property's current market value you can borrow against, depending on the lender, property type, and whether it already carries an existing loan.
