Home Loans for Self-Employed Individuals
Millions of Indians — shopkeepers, traders, consultants, freelancers — earn well but don't file Income Tax Returns (ITR). Does this mean they can never buy a home? Absolutely not.
Several banks and NBFCs offer Bank Statement-based Home Loans where your last 12-24 months of bank transactions serve as income proof instead of ITR.
How Bank Statement Programs Work
The lender analyses your bank account credits over the past 12-24 months. They calculate an "assumed income" based on average monthly deposits. Typically, banks consider 40-50% of total credits as your net income.

Key Tips
Maintain large, regular deposits in one primary bank account. Avoid cash transactions where possible. A higher down payment (25-30%) significantly improves approval chances.
