💡 Given significant Naira exchange rate volatility, we don't quote a fixed local-currency income threshold here — the USD 3,500/month equivalent bracket applies, but your advisor will confirm the current figure with the lender at the time of your application rather than relying on a number that may already be outdated.

Questions Nigeria-based NRIs ask us

Can I get a home loan without visiting India? +
Yes. Most lenders accept a notarized Power of Attorney (attested via the Indian High Commission in Nigeria) along with digital or video KYC, so the process can be completed remotely, with physical presence typically needed only at final registration in some cases.
What's the minimum income required from Nigeria? +
Most Indian lenders group Nigeria with the USA and other non-Gulf countries under one income bracket, commonly around USD 3,500/month equivalent. Given significant Naira exchange rate volatility, it's best to confirm the current local-currency figure directly with a lender rather than rely on a fixed conversion.
Can I use my BVN and payslips as income proof? +
Yes. Your BVN-linked bank statements, along with payslips and an employer letter, are standard, widely-accepted income proof for NRI home loan applications from Nigeria.
