Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) which was incorporated in 1977, is the largest home loan lender in India. HDFC offers doorstep service for HDFC home loan applicants, who can either apply individually or for a joint home loan. HDFC is well known for doing a thorough job of verifying that a home has a clear title, and is constructed as per norms before sanctioning a loan. This is beneficial to the borrower's peace of mind, as he can be satisfied about the value of his home if HDFC sanctions his loan. HDFC offers both fixed rate and floating rate home loans, and has simpler documentation requirements when compared to most other lenders.
