When the loan is considered for purchase of a plot to construct the house, the
Branch should obtain a suitable undertaking from the borrower to this effect.

Since the compliance of the undertaking rests with the borrower, Branches are
required to incorporate suitable covenants in the loan documents at the time of
sanction, to enable them to recall the loan and/or charge higher rate of interest, ab
initio, in the event of non-compliance by the borrower with his undertaking.

In this background, for the benefit of the branches, we would like to clarify the issue
as under:

In case the borrower fails to construct the house within a period of three years from
the availment of the said finance:
i. Branch to charge commercial rate of interest (Base Rate plus maximum band
declared by the Bank) from the date of first disbursement.

j. Involvement of middlemen is highly irregular and should be avoided at all costs.
k. Details of assets and liabilities mentioned by the applicant should be verified
from the relevant documents.
l. Based on the scrutiny of the loan application, relevant documents & Pre-
sanction inspection, the branch / RLF will take a decision to go ahead for
verification of title deed, obtaining legal opinion from the empanelled
Advocate. The report of the advocate should be exhaustive and complete
containing all vital points as mentioned in the model draft letter to be addressed
to the Advocate should be obtained. The report received from the Advocate
should be carefully studied by the branch officials.
m. Legal opinion of the document should be based on examination of original title
deed only and not on the basis of the photocopies.
n. In order to ensure that panel advocate incorporates all vital points in his report
relating to the property offered as security such as non-encumbrance,
marketability and title of the property, the branches are advised to send letters
to Advocates as per model draft (Annexure -21) while seeking his / her opinion.

special case, accept at its discretion, security of adequate value in the form of
life insurance policies, Government Promissory Notes, shares and debentures,
gold ornaments or such other security as may be deemed adequate with the
prior permission of Regional Head, along with stamped undertaking that the
borrower shall not create any charge on the said property to any third party and
that he will create mortgage of the dwelling units / housing property at a later
date if desired by the bank, be obtained from borrower. Margin on above
securities is to be maintained as per extant guidelines applicable for financing
against those securities.

iv. In cases where procedure for execution of sale deed / conveyance deed ,
forming a co-operative society and issuance of share certificate takes a very
long time and as such there are practical difficulties in creating equitable
mortgage at the time of sanction of Home Loan for flats developed by builders /
developers following procedure may be adopted:

Create equitable mortgage by obtaining following documents duly supported


with the advocate’s search report and opinion on title of the land as also on the
agreement to sale.

 Original Agreement to sale executed by builder in favour of borrower, duly


stamped and registered.
 Index – II Property Card
 Original Receipt in respect of registration of “Agreement to sell”.
 Copy of the map of the building duly approved by the appropriate authority.
 NOC from builder for creating mortgage and noting of Bank’s lien if the
building is under construction.
 Share Certificate, if society is formed, duly supported with NOC from the
society for creation of mortgage and noting of our lien in society’s record.
 Possession letter in original.

As regard stamp duty, the same is to be paid as applicable on Memorandum of


Deposit of Title Deed.

Branches, however, should note to obtain the copy of sale deed executed by
the builder in favour of co-op society and also to obtain share certificates issued
by society as and when formed during pendency of the loan.

In order to prevent fraud in Home Loan by submitting forged documents/


connivance of builders / noting of lien by builder, branches are required to follow
steps mentioned hereunder:

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 17


• The genuineness of transaction and the documents supporting the transaction
must be verified by proper inquiries.

• The Bank officials should physically verify from the builder, by visit to the regular
office of the builder and not merely by visiting temporary site office of builder at
the building, whether, the builder has executed the Agreement for Sale of flat/
property with Borrower or physically verify the existence of a builder and / or
obtain a letter from him of his intention to execute the document on receipt of
initial installment / margin amount required to be paid for by Borrower.

• Wherever builders / promoters are required, as per local law, to obtain


compulsory registration of their activities as Builders / Promoters, as in the State of
West Bengal, the branches must verify and ensure that the flats constructed are
by registered Promoters / Builders. Further, the completion certificate of the
Building and occupation certificate issued by Municipal Authorities in respect of
the building in which flat / premises are situated should invariably be scrutinized
by Advocate and clearance of such formality should be included in their report
on title.

• In the same manner, the Bank officials should enquire from the builder about the
receipt of the payment made to him and modality for payment of balance
amounts of loan / instalments to be disbursed by Bank, as per request made by
borrower directly to builder together with approval of the builder to record
Bank’s charge on the Flat on execution of loan documents by Borrower.

• Standing of the builder in the market should also be ascertained by the branch
by making enquiry about his reputation and past record.

• After execution of loan documents complied with memorandum of deposit of


title deeds, Bank should ensure to get noted its charge on the flat/ property,
should be registered immediately with the office of the Sub- Registrar of
Assurances under the optional registration, and the Bank official should ensure
that the office of the Registrar of Assurances has issued index – II in favour of the
Borrower registering the documents. Similarly, for recovery of dues civil suit should
also be filed relying on loan documents including enforcement of its mortgage,
without allowing loan documents to get time barred, irrespective of FIR having
been filed.

• The stamp paper/ stamp must be purchased from the Stamp Office or from
Government approved authorized vendors / agencies.

Safeguards to be observed for accepting the property as security:

i) The search report from an empanelled Advocate should elaborately deal with
scrutiny of records in respect of the property on which the flats / houses are
constructed from the office of Sub-Registrar of Assurance and from the Records of
Civil Court in the Metropolitan Cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai,
showing dispute pending in any of such courts is a prerequisite for consideration of

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 18


Home Loan. Mere report on the strength of copies of documents obtained from
Builder / intending seller cannot suffice. Further report on title should narrate the
history of title brought down to the builder’s right to own or develop the property
should be clearly narrated and for this purpose cost of searches and expenses as
also the legal fees should be commensurately fixed in advance and authorization
from the intending borrowers to pay the same should be obtained.

ii) Before registration of the duly embossed and duly stamped documents /
agreements with Registrar of Assurances, a search should be taken in the pending
registry records to verify whether the same flats have already been mortgaged /

physical search in sub registrar's office and land records concerned and all
documents are required to be entered before Registrar of Assurances (ROA).

the flats/ houses intended to be sold to the intending purchaser are not agreed to

purchaser to sell mortgage or transfer in favour of any other person without the
consent of the bank.

v) An affidavit should be obtained from the mortgagor that the property to be


equitably mortgaged is free from encumbrances of any sort and that no suit is
pending and that there is no attachment of any type of the said property.

vi) Original title deeds should be deposited with the bank. It should be carefully
noted that the copies of title deeds or extract of revenue records/property card
do not constitute the title deeds nor an agreement for sale or a municipal order
directing handing over the land and title deeds for the purpose of creation of valid
equitable mortgage.

vii) Where equitable mortgage of property has been stipulated as security for any
facility, the facility should not be released against an undertaking to create
equitable mortgage of the property, without the prior written permission from the
sanctioning authority.

viii) In case of leasehold property, prior written consent of the lessor for creation of
mortgage should be obtained. The lease period should be not less than 30 years.

15. Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) Plan:

i. The recovery under EMI provides for repayment of dues uniformly through out the
loan period. The following accounting procedure may be followed in this
regard:
a. At the time of granting loan, EMI should be calculated as per chart
circulated vide circular No.CO/BR/94/149 dated 24.06.2002 or may be
calculated from Bank’s website and advised to borrower.
b. EMI amount can be calculated through the menu option ‘LAMOD’ in

c. The EMI amount should be in figures rounded off to next higher rupee.

ii. Accounting & interest application:


a. The monthly recovery under EMI shall be credited in full to the loan account.
b. At the time of monthly interest application, interest is to be calculated on
daily products basis and debited to the loan account. In effect, this would
result in application of interest on daily product basis at monthly rests.

iii. Change in interest rates (Under floating Rate Option):

would, therefore, undergo change as and when Bank revise Base Rate.

months, by charging overdue interest as and where applicable, as per rules
/ extant guidelines.

v. Issuance of interest certificate:

For the purpose of income tax, branches may issue certificate to the borrower for
interest debited during the year to the Home Loan account, being interest
actually accrued on loan account. Existing income tax rules are also to be
complied with in this regard.

16. Resetting of EMIs / Extension of Repayment Period on revision of Interest rate.

i. Change in rate of interest will be effected centrally by our data centre without
re-setting EMIs. Period of loan will be adjusted as per increase/decrease in rate of
interest, keeping EMIs at fixed level till full repayment subjected to the condition
that total/extended tenure of Home Loan does not go beyond the maximum
period permissible under Home Loans as per guidelines.
ii. However, in case any borrower approaches his Branch for change in EMI as per
revised rate of interest, branches are required to make changes at their end in
such accounts.
iii. The Insurance cover available under Bancassurance i.e, Home Loan Suraksha
Beema Yojna and under Life Insurance cover obtained from any of the
insurance provider shall remain in force only upto original tenure of loan and not

17. Home Loans at Fixed Rate Option- Application of re-set clause.

Prior to introduction of Base Rate System, Home Loans were available at Fixed Interest
Rate Option as well as Floating Interest Rate options.

Bank has introduced Base Rate system w.e.f. 01.07.2010 in place of Benchmark Prime
Lending Rate (BPLR) system.

As per the guidelines of Base Rate structure, conveyed vide Circular No. BCC:BR:
102/178 dated 30.06.2010:

• All the existing Loans/facilities based on BPLR system may run with the existing
interest rate structure till their maturity/review.
• Fixed interest rate option on all the Retail Loan products stands withdrawn with
immediate effect from 01.07.2010 and henceforth no loan shall be granted at
fixed rate option. However, existing facilities under fixed rate option shall
continue till their reset clause/ maturity whichever is earlier.”

 For Home Loans sanctioned upto 15.08.2007 at Fixed Interest Rate option the rate
prevailing on the date of sanction remains applicable through entire tenure of
such loans.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 22


 Home Loans sanctioned at Fixed Interest Rate option on or after 16.08.2007 and till
16.11.2008 are subjected to re-setting of interest after completion of every -5- years
from date of first disbursement.
 Home Loans sanctioned at Fixed Interest Rate option on or after 17.11.2008 and till
30.06.2010 are subjected to re-setting of interest after completion of every -3- years
from date of first disbursement.
 Fixed Interest Rate option stands withdrawn w.e.f. 01.07.2010 and no loan shall be
granted at fixed rate option from 01.07.2010. However, Loans sanctioned prior to
01.07.2010 under fixed rate option shall continue till their reset clause/maturity
whichever is earlier.
 However, for Home Loans sanctioned under Special Home Loan Package (LA127)
effective from 16.12.2008 to 31.12.2009 under fixed rate option, fixed rate of
interest will continue upto the reset period of 5 years.
 The revised rate on resetting will be determined in such a way that spread
over/below BPLR remains the same on the date of reset if compared with that on
date of original sanction.

Since Home Loans sanctioned under Fixed Interest Rate option with reset period, the
reset period falls due only after 01.07.2010 in all the cases, the revised rate on resetting
will be determined in such a way that BPLR as on resetting date +/- spread as per
original sanction will be the effective rate of interest from date of reset and requires to
be linked to Base Rate from date of reset.

(Please note that Home Loan Accounts where interest flag has been pegged as 'Y' in
Finacle indicates that the account is in fixed rate of interest)

Further, in terms of Circular No.BCC:BR:105/219 dated 01.06.2013, the applicable rate of


interest w.e.f. 01.06.2013 in all the existing Home Loan accounts under floating rate
should be Base Rate.

In view of the above guidelines, to avoid irregularities in the applicable rate of interest
in existing Home Loans, different cases of Home Loans under fixed rate options are
given as under:

Case-1: Home Loan accounts sanctioned under fixed rate option from 16.08.2007 –
16.11.2008
- As per guidelines resetting of ROI is required after 5 years of sanction. The revised
rate (which is to be linked with Base Rate) will be determined in such a way so
that the spread over/below BPLR (prevailing on the date of reset) remains the
same on date of reset if compared with that on the date of original sanction.
Further, applicable rate of interest w.e.f. 01.06.2013 to be Base Rate.

Eg: Home Loan sanctioned under fixed rate option on 16.08.2007 at 12.25% (i.e fixed at
1.00% below BPLR, BPLR being 13.25% as on 16.08.2007)

Say Bank’s BPLR changes to 14.75% as on date of reset (16.08.2012), then as per reset
clause, the rate of interest in the Home Loan account would be recomputed and

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 23


revised so that the original negative spread over BPLR remains unchanged as on date
of reset (16.08.2012).

Accordingly, new rate would be Bank’s BPLR minus 1.00% I.e, 13.75% (14.75%-1) from
date of resetting.

Say Base rate on the date of reset (16.08.2012) is 10.50%. Hence, the effective rate to be
given in finacle would be Base Rate + 3.25% under floating rate option (i.e, with interest
pegging flag option ‘N’).

Further, applicable rate of interest w.e.f. 01.06.2013 is to be made Base Rate i.e,
@10.25% at present.

Case-2: Home Loan accounts sanctioned under fixed rate option from 17.11.2008–
30.06.2010
- As per guidelines resetting of ROI is required after 3 years of sanction. The revised
rate (which is to be linked with Base Rate) will be determined in such a way so
that the spread over/below BPLR (prevailing on the date of reset) remains the
same on date of reset if compared with that on the date of original sanction.
Further, applicable rate of interest w.e.f. 01.06.2013 to be Base Rate.

Case-3: Home Loan accounts under the scheme code LA127 (i.e, Special Home Loan
scheme) sanctioned under fixed rate option from 16.12.2008 – 31.12.2009
- As per guidelines resetting of ROI is required after 5 years of sanction. In all these
cases of Home Loans sanctioned under the Special Home Loan scheme, reset
period falls due only after 01.06.2013, the applicable rate from the date of reset
will be at Base Rate (floating).

Case-4: Home Loan accounts under floating rate option: W.e.f. 01.06.2013 applicable
ROI in all Home Loans under floating rate option should be base rate.

18. Conversion from Fixed Interest Rate to Floating Interest Rate Option:

For Home Loans sanctioned upto 15.08.2007 at Fixed Interest Rate option the rate
prevailing on the date of sanction remains applicable through entire tenure of such
loans.

fixed interest rate to floating interest rate option by Branch Manager with prospective
effect subject to the following:

Annexure – 4

ADHERENCE OF KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (KYC) NORMS AND PREVENTIVE VIGILANCE FOR
HOME LOAN PROPOSALS:

Bank is advising through comprehensive guidelines time to time in respect of KYC norms
and preventive vigilance guidelines to make the operating units aware as to how
frauds have taken place in various banks / branches and how to be vigilant in
preventing such type of activities at branches.

All set norms should be strictly complied with, without negligence while processing
Home Loan proposals. The guidelines to be followed while appraising/ processing
Baroda Home Loan applications are given under viz.

(a) Adherence of KYC guidelines


(b) Fraud preventive measures
(c) Safeguards in respect of take over of Home Loan Accounts

(a) Adherence of KYC guidelines:

1. KYC guidelines should be very meticulously and strictly complied with, which
include proper verification / cross checking of information submitted by the
applicants for their identity. Documents submitted for identity and proof of
residence i.e. copy of ration card/ photo-identity card/ PAN card/ driving license
should be properly scrutinized and also verified with the originals. Noting for having
verified with the originals should be made on relative documents and kept on
record.

2. Pre-sanction inspection including visit to the place of residence and work as well
as property to be purchased, must be carried out independently, preferably
without giving prior information to the applicant.

3. Independent enquiries from the employer in respect of salaried person about


employment status and salary should be made. It will help in detection of cases of
fabricated salary / employment certificates as well as in ascertaining the actual
income of the applicant. A copy of latest salary slip should be obtained.

4. In case of applicants other than salaried persons, the original taxpayer’s copy of
challans of tax deposited is verified to ascertain genuineness of Income Tax
Returns and also the assessment orders for earlier years. Home Loan proposals of
the persons, who have filed their income tax returns of last three years in one lot or
if there is major fluctuation in the amount of the tax deposited in the current year
vis-a-vis previous year should be accorded special attention.

5. Disbursement of Home Loan to be made by Demand draft /Bankers Cheque


specially crossed to the bank and in favour of Bank / Branch, A/c-No., Name of
Builders / Vendors / Suppliers along with a letter addressed to the vendor. Not to

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 89


hand over the Demand Draft / Bankers Cheque towards disbursement to the
borrower.

6. Bank has introduced a system for outsourcing Chartered Accountants for


verification of income related papers viz. IT Returns, Income Tax Challans etc. You
may therefore assign the work of verification of income related papers to the
authorized agency / persons in consultation with Regional Offices.

7. Critical examination and satisfaction about the “Employment Status” of the


applicant, his/her/their source, continuity, consistency and sustainability of the
income is very essential. In cases, where the status of the employment as well as
the employer is doubtful, the branches should discourage considering loans to
such persons. Income of the applicants should be of regular, stable and verifiable
nature.

8. No middlemen should be entertained for any credit proposal.

9. Our ASCROM Cell has devised Borrower-wise Search utility programme, which
enable branches in searching the name of the borrowers, who have availed
credit facilities from other branches. Therefore, if there is more than one branch at
the center, the branch should ensure before considering the loan application,
that applicant is not enjoying any retail loan from any other branch at the center.

10. CIBIL /EQUIFAX Credit Report/CERSAI search report in respect of applicant should
be meticulously verified. We have authorized branches, all Regional Offices, Zonal
Offices and allotted them user IDs to access CIBIL /EQUIFAX information on
borrowers. Therefore this facility should be used by the branches to cross check
borrowings from other banks. Branches not having user IDs may use this facility
from nearby branch /RLF/ Regional Office.

11. Wherever applicants are not maintaining their savings account with us, the
branch should obtain statement of principal account of the applicant, wherein
salary is being credited. The account should be critically/ properly analyzed to
ascertain conduct of the account and other existing liabilities of the applicant.

12. Credit rating in prescribed module relevant to the retail loan proposal should be
carried out in each case before taking credit decision.

13. The branches should in writing ascertain from the builder / vendor/ supplier the
details of his Bank, Branch and account number for the purpose of making
payment on disbursement of the loan amount directly to him. It has been
observed that miscreants generally opened accounts with small co-operative
banks for fraudulent encashment of the banker’s cheques. Therefore, the branch
managers may, over telephone, confirm the antecedents of the builders and
gather information about status and period of account relationship etc.

14. The Bankers Cheque / Demand Drafts should be issued in favour of Bank Branch
A/c No. – Name of the builder/ vendor / supplier and should be directly handed

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 90


over to him. However, a request in writing should be obtained from the borrower
before making payment to the builder / vendor / supplier.

15. Search Report / legal opinion obtained about immovable property from Bank’s
approved advocate should be exhaustive and complete, containing all vital
points. The Branch officials should carefully study the report received from the
advocate and any point affecting bank’s interest may be probed in to. Equitable
mortgage of immovable property should be based on original title deeds only. All
previous chain of title documents and other papers suggested by bank’s
advocate should be obtained while creating equitable mortgage on the property
proposed as security.

16. Besides, valuation report submitted by Govt. / Bank’s Approved Valuer in respect
of immovable property, the Processing Officer or Asset Inspecting Officer or
Sanctioning Authority should verify the boundaries of flat/plot/house as per the
previous title deeds and assess the value of the property independently on the
basis of prevailing market rates and record the same in the file.

17. Proposals for financing a house / flat developed by the builders not having good
reputation in the local market / whose names are appearing in the negative list
should not be considered. If the builder is a private limited or a public limited
company, report from the office of Registrar of Companies should be obtained for
ensuring that the entire property, including the flat proposed to be financed, is not
charged in favour of any bank / financial institution / other creditor for finance
availed by the company.

18. Each disbursement, wherever need to be made in stages, should be backed by


site / spot inspection and relative inspection report should be kept on record.

19. Post-sanction inspection after final disbursement should be carried out to ensure
that borrower has taken possession of the house / flat besides verification of end
use of funds. It is also to be ensured that the construction has been carried out as
per approved plan and there is no misutilization of funds.

The above safeguard needs to be taken care by the branches while considering any
Home Loan proposal.

(b) Fraud Preventive Measures:

Bank has come across some instances, where borrowers have either defrauded the
Bank or some miscreants attempted to commit frauds. In order to save our
branches/Bank from such attempt of frauds, branches are requested to follow the
guidelines meticulously while considering Home Loan proposals:-

It is observed that frauds are committed at the following two stages.

(a) Pre-Sanction,
(b) Post-sanction.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 91


The risk of being cheated or defrauded is remote if proper care is exercised in these two
stages of financing housing Loans in contrast to other advances, where frauds can be
committed even after disbursement of the loan due to poor monitoring of the
accounts.

(i) Pre Sanction Stage:

- Failure to follow KYC (Know your Customer) norms and the requirement of pre-
sanction inspection.
- Failure to identify fictitious accounts.
- Sanction of higher loan amount on the basis of fake/forged income proof.
- Inflated valuation of land and building.

i. Post Sanction Stage :

- Documentation Related: due to forged title deeds, photo copy of title deeds,
several original copies of same title deeds etc.

- Disbursement Related: done by builder by selling same flat to different people,


loans availed by builder in the name of other person/s and money used by him
for his project.
- Borrower en-cashing the loan disbursement cheque / Pay order / D.D by
opening account in the name of builder particularly with Cooperative banks.

Based on the experience of various Banks, cases of frauds, modus operandi and
suggested preventive measures are narrated below:

1. Fabrication of Income documents like IT return, Salary Slip, Balance sheet etc:

• Personal interview of borrower and visit to site.


• Personal verification of original salary slips and attendance register with the
employer.
• Comparing salary amount with the bank statement
• Cross verification of balance sheet with bank statement
• Verifying photo copies of IT returns with the original bearing
acknowledgement of IT department

2. Other income of the applicants like agriculture, tuition income, Income of non-
working spouse purportedly running Hobby, cooking classes, beauty parlors, and
Computer job work were clubbed to inflate income and secure higher loan
amount.

It is committed generally by well dressed/well educated, high-flying borrowers


who utilize the services of Chartered Accountants in fabricating income tax
returns and related documents.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 92


• Agriculture income can only be considered if it is supported by land record
and income is reported in income tax return though not taxed.
• Status of business must be verified before accepting proof of income from
such business/profession.

3. Loan amount disbursed by way of Pay Order/Demand Draft encashed by third


party/agent.

Disbursed amount Pay Order/ Demand Draft are collected by 3rd party/Agent
from the borrower’s Bank and deposited in fictitious account opened for this
purpose and amounts are withdrawn from such bogus accounts.

• Account Payee crossed PO/DD should be issued in the name of the


builder/promoter as the case may be with the bank account number
mentioned on it.
• A rubber stamp should be affixed on the reverse of the PO/DD stating,
“collecting banker should exercise utmost caution while collecting this
instrument especially in the case of a newly opened account”.
• PO/DD should not be handed over to the borrower /agent/third party. Bank’s
official can be sent for delivery of the instrument to the builder/seller of the
property at the registered address mentioned in the title deeds.

4. Title deeds/ Stamped documents forged by borrower/ builder.

Coloured photo copies of various documents are produced including


encumbrance certificate, fake stamp paper etc. which are difficult to distinguish
from the original one.

• The title deeds should be handed over to advocate only by bank official and
all his queries should be routed through bank only. The fee will also be paid
through bank.
• Bank officers should verify genuineness of the documents independently
through their own advocates/ solicitors. Search report of the property should
be conducted by the advocate properly on the basis of original documents
including registry pending for entry in the records of sub registrar.

5. Multiple Financing:

The miscreants with intent to play fraud with Bank connive with the
Chairman/secretaries of housing co-operative societies and borrowers, prepare a
number of original sets of documents in respect of single flat, and avail loans from
several banks using those fake but apparently original sets of documents. In the
process, the miscreants get the owner’s clear and marketable title to the
property certified from lawyers and in turn create equitable mortgage by
depositing the fake title deeds.

• Tracking and sharing information among banks and housing finance


companies about black listed builders through market intelligence.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 93


• Relevant testimonials like Bye-Laws, Firm registration Certificate, colonizer
license of builders should be verified with appropriate issuing authority.
• Banks should insist on original title deeds of the landed property on which
structure (Proposed project) is built for verification.
• In case of flats, Banks should insist on registration of undivided share of land
before releasing 1st installment of loan. In that case a ‘Provisional’ sanction
letter may be issued to the borrower in this regard provided all other terms
and conditions are complied with.
• In case of purchase of property from government agency/other agency on
their behalf co-operative society etc. allotment letter of such agency issued in
favour of buyer should be obtained.
• Registration receipt issued by Registrar of assurances should bear
hypothecation clause.

6. Cancellation of booking of flats/ property:

After availing the 1st installment of loan amount, the booking is cancelled by the
borrower in collusion with builder/promoter and the borrower directly takes the
refund from the builder/promoter.

• Credit rating of Builders by CRISIL should be mandatory.


• Bank should check past track record, financial viability project execution
capacity clear titles and customer satisfaction of previous projects and
technical competence of the builders.
• Bank should obtain tripartite agreement (Registered) with builders, bank and
borrower stating that if booking is cancelled, the money will be refunded to
the bank only.

7. Sale of property by borrower without clearing existing loan:

Property is sold through duplicate/fake title deeds even though the legal title is
with the bank.

• Internal due diligence plays vital role to prevent this type of frauds.
• Banks to represent to RBI/ Government of India to enact legislation for noting
bank’s lien (Mortgage) in the Books of Municipality, Tax Assessment registers
for the Houses, as is done in case of Motor Vehicles.

8. Misrepresentation of end use of loan.

Loan is taken for residential Housing purpose but commercial property is


constructed.

• In addition to verification by architect/engineer as per system, bank official to


verify end use of funds at each stage of disbursement of loan.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 94


9. Sale of property by builder without clearing dues of financing bank/FIs.

Builders sold constructed / semi constructed houses but did not pay the dues of
banks/FI raised for construction of the building.

• Construction /funding of loan should be closely monitored.


• Original title documents should be called for appraisal at the time of sanction
of loan.
• Bank to keep an eye on builder and seek information regarding sale of
flats/houses on regular basis. Bank should obtain an affidavit from the builder
stating that no financial assistance has been received against the dwelling
units under construction and no plots/flats are mortgaged in any Bank/FIs.

(b) Safeguards in respect of take over of Home Loan Accounts.

1. Accounts should be taken over in consideration / possibility of larger business


interests / valuable connections.

2. The prospective borrower should handover a Power of Attorney in favour of Bank


of Baroda alongwith a letter addressed to the Bank / HFCs from where finance
has been availed authorizing them to deliver the title deeds and all the collateral
securities charged to them, directly to our bank branch upon receipt of the loan
amount.

3. The institution should confirm the above to our branch and further that they are
holding an equitable mortgage over the property.

4. Accounts with the existing lenders should be under the category of Standard
Assets.

5. Repayment may be fixed, keeping in view our Bank’s guidelines in respect of


income and repaying capacity of the applicant. However, Additional Assured
Advance (AAA) may be considered as per norms.

6. All other collaterals charged to the previous institution from whom the loan is
being taken over should also be made available as security to our Bank.

7. There should not have been any reschedulement / restructuring in the account
during last two years.

8. Takeover accounts are to be rated as per the applicable scoring model subject
to minimum grade as per the scoring model.

9. The disbursement of the loan should be made directly to the institution and their
receipt to be kept along with the loan documents. Under no circumstances

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 95


10. In some of the States the equitable mortgage, after the same is being created, is
also required to be registered before the Sub-registrar’s office as per the
amendments brought in to Registration Act by the respective states. In such
cases after obtaining the title documents back from the Bank/HFCs from where
the account is being taken over, Branches must ensure that the
borrower/mortgagor has discharged/released the charge created over the
properties by the previous Bank/HFCs by executing/registering necessary
documents with registering authorities before creation of fresh equitable
mortgage favoring our Bank and the equitable mortgage created in our Bank’s
favor is also registered.

The above is a suggestive but not exhaustive list of safeguard points to be taken by the
branches while considering any Retail Loan proposal.

Bank is also sharing the modus operandi of the new cases of frauds coming into light
vide circulars from time to time. Branches should take care of the suggestions/
guidelines mentioned in such circulars to thwart any attempt of defrauding the Bank.

Annexure-7

APPROVAL OF BUILDERS AND THEIR HOUSING PROJECTS


Flat culture is developing very fast and there is huge scope of lending for Home Loans in
multi storied housing project. This culture is now also developing at small centres i.e. Tier
II cities in addition to Metro and big Urban centres. Ample opportunities for lending
under Home Loans are available which shall ultimately augment our Home Loan
Portfolio as well as Retail Loan Book of the Bank.

There may be two type of projects :

I. Where construction has been completed and the flat are ready for sale. In such
cases, the flat are outrightly purchased against full payment of cost of flat.

II. But in other case, where the construction is yet to start or construction is in process,
in such cases the possession is generally available after a period of one year to 3
years. Till that period, there is no security and the mortgage is created only after
getting possession by the borrower whereas the builders demand payment in
installments from the purchasers.

In case of IInd type of projects, more prudence is required while financing for flats
which are yet to come in existence. The promoters of such projects may be:-

(a) Big corporate houses/ established business groups having good track records in
the field of housing projects and enjoying good market reputation as genuine and
credible builders.

(b) In the other category, the promoters /builders may be new entrants to this field,
which can be further classified under two categories,

(i) the one who may be having good experience of housing projects
developments and

(ii) the other one who may be entirely new entrants having no experience in this
line.

Different approach is required to be adopted by our operating units with these type of
projects/builders.

Our Operating units must endeavour for approval of housing projects falling under the
categories a and b (i), however in case of housing projects being developed by new
entrant promoters i.e. b (ii) can also be taken into our fold by approval of such projects,
if the project is financed by our bank, as, the credential of promoters / project are duly
verified while sanctioning the project loan to them by the competent authority.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 102


For generating good volume of quality business under home loans through financing of
flats in housing projects, approval of projects /builders is the most important initiative to
be adopted by the Bank.

Approval of Builder/Developer/Promoter:

For the purpose of approval of Housing projects / Builders, the RLFs / Branches, in the
city are required to visit the projects on regular basis, verify the credentials and to
recommend the names of reputed/credible builders/developers/ promoters and their
projects to their respective Regional Authorities, who would be according approval
to those conforming to the criteria. However, in Metro cities with more than one
Region, since some of the builders/developers may be common for the entire city
across all Regions / branches, the approval may be accorded by the respective Zonal
Authorities.

For developing a healthy portfolio of housing finance it is necessary that the


builders/developers/promoters of properties have good track record & enjoy good
market reputation as genuine & credible builders. In order to ensure this, Regions have
been advised to prepare a negative list of builders and advise the branches to
exercise due care and caution while entertaining the proposals relating to house
property developed by such individuals and firms.

It will be appreciated that along with the approval of builder/developer/promoters, if


the projects/properties developed by them are also approved after due diligence, it
will help branches in faster decision making and at the same time avoid the chances of
perpetration of frauds and irregularities. Zonal Heads have been authorized for
approval of projects in home loans after due diligence where more than one Region
exists in that city and at other places the Regional Head is authorized for approval of
project.

In the event the builder is a private limited or a public limited company, report from the
office of Registrar of Companies should also be obtained to ascertain whether the
entire property is also subject to mortgage or any charge in favour of any financial
institution or bank or any other creditor.

The parameters for approval of Builders / Developers/ Promoters and their projects for
the purpose of Home Loans are given in Annexure –7 (B) & 7 (C).

In case the housing project is financed by our bank, a different view needs to be taken.

Now Bank has decided to accord the status of approved Builder and their Housing
Project as approved for sanctioning of Home Loans for purchase of flats, while granting
credit facilities to such Builders for Housing Projects.

Revised guidelines in respect of approval of builders and their Housing Projects where
our Bank granting credit facilities to such builders for Housing Projects are given in
Annexure- 7 (A). In such cases, possibilities may be explored to impress upon the

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 103


builder to provide maximum number of leads to our branches for financing for
purchase of flats in their project.

Benefits to Builder by approval of their project:

By approval of projects, the builders gets a preferred financier like bank of Baroda for
financing their flats to the prospective purchasers. Some other offers like concession in
interest and processing charges etc. may be passed on in case, good volume of
business is anticipated.

Benefit to purchaser in purchasing flats in approved project

Purchase gets a financier like Bank of Baroda for financing him /them for purchasing
flats in the approved project and if any concessions are agreed upon with the builder,
the same may be passed on to the purchaser. He may be saved from getting
additional burden of getting Valuation Reports /Legal Opinion on merits of the case.

Benefit to Bank by approving housing projects

By approval of Housing projects /Builder, Bank get the ample opportunities for getting
good number of leads and high rate of penetration to convert into business. In case of
approved projects, chances of delinquencies and perpetration of frauds are also
eliminated to a large extent.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 104


Annexure- 7 (a)

Approval of Builders and their Housing Projects, where our Bank granting Credit facilities
to such Builders for Housing Projects.

Hitherto, Bank is extending various credit facilities to reputed builders/developers/ promoters


and their projects, which were sanctioned by SME / Mid Corporate/ Wholesale Banking
Department at BCC or Zonal/ Regional authorities. While processing the credit proposal of
Builders for a Housing Project, necessary due diligence about the promoters, their market
reports, their past experience with their existing bankers and various permissions/approvals
from the Development authorities etc are collected and verified/satisfied by the concerned
authorities before sanctioning of the credit facilities.

Also for generating good volume of quality business under Home Loans through financing of
flats in housing projects, approval of projects/builders is required by Bank which is done
separately by the Zonal / Regional Heads. As per extant guidelines, Branches/RLFs in cities and
large towns will recommend the names of reputed/credible builders/developers/ promoters
and their projects to their respective Regional Authorities, who would be according approval
to those conforming to the criteria. However, in metro cities, since some of the
builders/developers may be common for the entire city across all regions/branches, the
approval may be accorded by the respective Zonal Authorities.

On the basis of suggestions received from our Zonal / Regional Offices, a note was approved
by Chairman & Managing Director & Executive Director for authorizing the discontinuation of
the existing guidelines for approval of Builders & their Housing Projects for sanctioning Home
Loans for purchase of flats, in cases of Builders & their Housing Projects are extended credit
facilities for the said Housing Projects by our Bank.

Keeping in view the above facts, accord the status of “Approved Builder and their Housing
Project as approved for sanctioning of Home Loans for purchase of flats, while granting credit
facilities to such Builders for Housing Projects.” Also a suitable clause of Approved Housing
Project in sanction letter of such Builders be incorporated, while conveying terms & conditions
of the sanction to such Builders.

The above guidelines which have been conveyed vide our letter No.BCC:RB:105/1437 dated
18.07.2013 to all Zones & Regions shall be applicable to fresh sanctions of credit facilities to
Builder. However, Zones and Regions should scan the existing cases where credit facilities
have already been extended to Builders and sanctioned for their Housing Projects by our Bank
prior to the above mentioned circular and may approve such projects for considering
financing the housing units/flats.

Annexure 7 (d)

Power to approve deviation to accept ‘Unregistered Agreement to Sell’ in approved


and unapproved Housing Projects.

Previously the Zonal Heads were authorized to consider deviation to accept


‘Unregistered Agreement to Sell’ in case of housing projects being developed by
builders/developers having satisfactory dealings with our Bank with good
credentials/track record and who should have been approved by the Region/Zone. On
case to case basis, Zone were deciding individual case of projects/builders for
accepting ‘Unregistered Agreement to Sell’ by recording reasons to their satisfaction
and to also consider request for disbursement of Home Loan on the basis of terms of
agreement to sell.

Our Executive Director on 05.06.2013 has agreed to authorize all Regional Heads to
consider deviation to accept ‘Unregistered Agreement to sell in approved Housing
Projects.

Now, all Regional Heads are authorized to consider deviation to accept ‘Unregistered
Agreement’ to sell in APPROVED Housing Projects under construction linked plan on
case to case basis and merit of the case.

However, Zonal Heads are authorized to consider deviation to accept ‘Unregistered


Agreement’ to sell in UNAPPROVED Housing Projects on selective basis in case of
reputed builders and only after ascertaining credibility / viability of the project, as also
after taking abundant precaution in documentation aspects, including taking Tripartite
Agreement containing Indemnity Clause. (Clarified vide Circular No.BCC:BR:106/22
dated 21.01.2014 regarding revision in deviation powers of Retail Loans.)

While accepting unregistered agreement to sell, following additional safeguards,


documents/ precautions should be taken to mitigate the inherent risk and conveyance
deed should be obtained and mortgage must be created after completion of
construction.

• Original Agreement to sell on Rs.100/- stamp paper or as per stamp duty of the
state.

• Tripartite agreement between Bank, Borrower and the Builder on Rs.100/- stamp
paper or as per stamp duty of the state.

• Undertaking from the Builder / Developer to handover Conveyance Deed directly


to the Bank for Creation of Equitable Mortgage.

• Copy of the map/ plan of the building duly approved by the appropriate authority.

• NOC from builder for creating mortgage and noting of Bank’s lien if the building is

Annexure- 7 (e)

Upfront disbursal of Housing Loans- RBI guidelines

Reserve Bank of India vide their Circular No.RBI/2013-14/217 DBOD.BP.BC.No.


51/08.12.012/2013-14 dated 03.09.2013 has advised regarding Innovative Housing Loan
Products- Upfront disbursal of housing loans, as under:

1. It has been observed that some banks have introduced certain innovative
Housing Loan Schemes in association with developers/builders, e.g. upfront
disbursal of sanctioned individual housing loans to the builders without linking the
disbursals to various stages of construction of housing project, interest/EMI on the
housing loan availed of by the individual borrower being serviced by the builders
during the construction period/specified period, etc. This might include signing of
tripartite agreements between the bank, the builder and the buyer of the
housing unit. These loan products are popularly known by various names like
80:20, 75:25 Schemes. (Presently our Bank does not have such Schemes)

2. Such housing loan products are likely to expose the banks as well as their home
loan borrowers to additional risks e.g. in case of disputes between individual
borrowers and developers/builders, default/delayed payment of interest/EMI by
the developer/builder during the agreed period on behalf of the borrower, non
completion of the project on time, etc. Further, any delayed payments by
developers/builders on behalf of individual borrowers to banks may lead to lower
credit rating/scoring of such borrowers by credit information companies (CICs)
as information about servicing of loans gets passed on to the CICs on a regular
basis. In cases where bank loans are also disbursed upfront on behalf of their
individual borrowers in a lump-sum to builders/developers without any linkage to
stages of construction, banks run disproportionately higher exposures with
concomitant risks of diversion of funds.

3. In view of the higher risks associated with such lump-sum disbursal of sanctioned
housing loans and customer suitability issues, banks are advised that disbursal of
housing loans sanctioned to individuals should be closely linked to the stages of
construction of the housing project/houses and upfront disbursal should not be
made in cases of incomplete/ under-construction/ green field housing projects.

In view of above, we have advised all Branches /RLFs vide Circular No. BCC:BR:105/392
dated 05.09.2013, not to consider/sanction such Home Loan proposals of builders
where disbursements are not linked to various stages of construction of housing project.

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 111


Accordingly, Bank has decided to withdraw the authority given to Zonal Heads vide
letter No. BCC:RB:99/3566 dated 28.12.2007 to consider disbursement of Home Loans on
the basis of disbursement schedule mentioned in the Agreement to sell, as against
guidelines to make disbursement only on the basis of stages of completion of the
property being financed, with immediate effect from 10.09.2013. [Please refer Annexure
7(f) below]

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 112


Annexure- 7 (f)

Disbursement of Home Loan on the basis of Agreement to Sell.

As per the existing guidelines of Baroda Home Loan, disbursements/ payments to


Builders to be done only on the basis of stages of completion of the property being
financed. However, Zonal Heads were authorized to consider deviation to accept
disbursements on the basis of ‘Agreement to Sell’ on case to case basis or project
specific basis only where the projects / builders are approved as per extant guidelines
and the projects are developed by the reputed builders.

Now, Reserve Bank of India vide their Circular No.RBI/2013-14/217 DBOD.BP.


BC.No.51/08.12.012/2013-14 dated 03.09.2013 has advised that [Pl. refer Annexure 7(e)
above]:

In view of the higher risks associated with such lump-sum disbursal of sanctioned
housing loans and customer suitability issues, banks are advised that disbursal of
housing loans sanctioned to individuals should be closely linked to the stages of
construction of the housing project/houses and upfront disbursal should not be made in
cases of incomplete/ under-construction/ green field housing projects.

In view of above, Branches/RLFs should not consider/sanction such Home Loan


proposals to builders where disbursements are not linked to various stages of
construction of housing project which has been conveyed vide Circular
No.BCC:BR:105/392 dt 05.09.2013.

The administrative powers vested with Zonal Heads in terms of letter No.BCC:RB:99/3566
dated 28.12.2007 to consider requests for disbursement of Home Loans on the basis of
terms of Agreement to Sell as against extant guidelines to make disbursement only on
the basis stages of completion of the property being financed has been withdrawn from
10.09.2013.

Implementation of orders of Delhi High Court

Supreme Court of India has directed Municipal Corporation of Delhi to seal all
unauthorized business units i.e. shops & offices set up in residential area in contravention
of the laws in this regard. Hence, many of such enterprises have either been sealed or
closed their business operations.

This has caused financial hardship to all such businessmen and they failed even in
meeting out their basic family needs. Besides the owners of the properties and
businessmen, the bankers providing finance to these business organizations and for
properties have also been hit by the orders of Supreme Court, as they are not in position
to recover money from such borrowers.

In this context, during the hearing in the writ petition filed by Kalyan Sanstha Welfare
Organization, the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi has directed as under:

'We hereby direct that henceforth Banks will check whether the loan sought for is for
authorized structure or an unauthorized structure and the Banks will obtain an
undertaking on an affidavit from the parties seeking such loans that the building is
constructed as per sanctioned building plans. Banks shall also ensure that the
sanctioned building plans are attached with the undertaking. Let necessary directions
be issued in this regard either by the concerned Ministry of Banking or the Reserve Bank
of India'.

The Monitoring Committee constituted by the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi regarding
Unauthorized Construction, Misuse of Properties and Encroachment on Public Land, has
issued certain directions through Reserve Bank of India for immediate compliance by
the banks / Financial Institutions. Therefore, branches are advised as under:

A. Loan for house construction

 In cases where the applicant owns a plot / land and approaches the banks / FIs
for a credit facility to construct a house, a copy of the sanctioned plan by
competent authority in the name of a person applying for such credit facility
must be obtained by the Banks / FIs before sanctioning the home loan.
 An affidavit-cum-undertaking must be obtained from the person applying for
such credit facility that he shall not violate the sanctioned plan, construction
shall be strictly as per the sanctioned plan and it shall be the sole responsibility
of the executant to obtain completion certificate within 3 months of
completion of construction, failing which the bank shall have the power and the
authority to recall the entire loan with interest, costs and other usual bank
charges.
 An Architect appointed by the bank must also certify at various stages of
construction of building that the construction of the building is strictly as per
sanctioned plan and in case of completed project shall also certify that the

Master Circular on Baroda Home Loan Page 130


completion certificate of the building issued by the competent authority has
been obtained.

B. Loan for purchase of ready house / flat.

 In cases where the applicant approaches the bank/FIs for a credit facility to
purchase the built up house/flat, it should be mandatory for him to declare by
way of an affidavit-cum-undertaking that the built up property has been
constructed as per the sanctioned plan and/or building bye-laws and as far as
possible has a completion certificate also.
 An Architect appointed by the bank must also certify before disbursement of the
loan that the built up property is strictly as per sanctioned plan and/or building
bye-laws.

C. Unauthorised Colonies

 No loan proposal in respect of those properties, which fall in the category of


unauthorized colonies unless and until they have been regularized and
development and other charges paid, should be considered.

D. Commercial Property

 No loan should be granted in those proposals, which relate to the properties


meant for residential use but the applicant intends to use the same for
commercial purposes and declares so while applying for loan.

To safeguard bank’s interest, the branches are advised to strictly comply with the
above directions while considering any housing loan request.
