The Parivaar Loans cover a wise range of products, which include: Unsecured Personal Loans Secured Loans Home Finance Home Equity Loans

Unsecured Personal Loans

An unsecured loan is a loan that is not backed by collateral, it is also

Q uickTim and a e deco mpressor are needed to see this picture .

known as a signature loan or personal loan. Unsecured loans are based solely upon the borrower's credit rating. An unsecured loan is considered much cheaper and carries less risk to the borrower. Types of Unsecured loans There are three types of unsecured loans: First is a personal unsecured loan, which means a loan that, a person individually responsible for the repayment. Second is an unsecured business loan, which leaves the business responsible for the repayment. Third is an unsecured business loan with a personal guarantee. In this type of unsecured loan the borrower is the business, but guarantor will be the payer if the business defaults to pay the loan.

Secured Loans
A secured loan is a loan in which the borrower pledges some asset (e.g. a car or property) as collateral for the loan, which then becomes a secured debt owed to the creditor who gives the loan. The debt is thus secured against the collateral. In any event if the borrower defaults to repay, then the creditor takes possession of the asset used as collateral and may sell it to satisfy the debt by regaining the amount originally lent to the borrower. There are two purposes for a loan secured by debt. In the first purpose, by extending the loan through securing the debt, the creditor is relieved of most of the financial risks involved because it allows the creditor to take the property in the event that the debt is not properly repaid. In exchange, this permits the second purpose where the debtors may receive loans on more favorable terms than that available for unsecured debt, or to be extended credit under circumstances when credit under terms of unsecured debt would not be extended at all. The creditor may offer a loan with attractive interest rates and repayment periods for

the secured debt.

Home Equity Loan

A home equity loan (sometimes abbreviated HEL) is a type of loan in which the borrower uses the equity in their home as collateral. These loans are sometimes useful to help finance major home repairs, medical bills or college education. A home equity loan creates a lien against the borrower's house, and reduces actual home equity.

Types of Home Equity Loan

Closed end home equity loan: The borrower receives a lump sum

at the time of the closing and cannot borrow further. The maximum amount of money that can be borrowed is determined by variables including credit history, income, and the appraised value of the collateral, among others. It is common to be able to borrow up to 100% of the appraised value of the home, less any liens, although there are lenders that will go above 100% when doing over-equity loans. However, state law governs in this area; for example, Texas (which was, for many years, the only state to not allow home equity loans) only allows borrowing up to 80% of equity. Closed-end home equity loans generally have fixed rates and can be amortized for periods usually up to 15 years. Some home equity loans offer reduced amortization whereby at the end of the term, a balloon payment is due. Paying above the minimum payment or refinancing the loan can avoid these larger lump-sum payments.

Q uickTim and a e deco mpressor are needed to see this picture .

Open end home equity loan: This is a revolving credit loan, also
referred to as a home equity line of credit, where the borrower can choose when and how often to borrow against the equity in the property, with the lender setting an initial limit to the credit line based on criteria similar to those used for closed-end loans. Like the closed-end loan, it may be possible to borrow up to 100% of the value of a home, less any liens. These lines of credit are available up to 30 years, usually at a variable interest rate. The minimum monthly payment can be as low as only the interest that is due. Typically, the interest rate is based on the Prime rate plus a margin.

Their business is focused only on small establishments with a turnover of less than Rs.25 Million p.a.

Fullerton India Vyapaar
