Tranche Based EMI

Customers purchasing an under construction property need to pay interest (on the loan amount
drawn based on level of construction) till the property is ready. To help customer save this
interest, we have introduced a special facility of tranche based EMI. Customers can fix the
installments they wish to pay till the property is ready. The minimum amount payable is the
interest on the loan amount drawn. Anything over and above the interest paid by the customer
goes towards Principal repayment. The customer benefits by starting EMI and hence repays the
loan faster.

increasing the EMI. Whenever you get an increment, increase in your disposable income or have

How do I repay the loan?

You will repay DBH Home Loan on a regular monthly basis, through Equated Monthly
Instalments (EMI). EMI comprises of both Interest and Principal amount of the loan, and you
will commence the payment of EMI from the month following the month in which you will draw
down the entire amount of loan.

If you decide to draw down the loan in instalments, then you will pay interest on the partly
drawn loan amount, until the entire loan amount is drawn. This interest is called Pre-EMI (P-
EMI) interest. Pre-EMI interest is payable every month from the date of each disbursement (i.e.
cheque delivery date) up to the date of commencement of EMI. Pre-EMI interest is calculated at
the same rate at which EMI is calculated.

We offer both Adjustable and Fixed Rate Home Loan Schemes. Under Adjustable Rate Home
Loan (ARHL) Scheme, depending on the changes in money market conditions, DBH reserves
the right to vary the rate of interest prospectively from time to time. In case of Fixed Rate Home
Loan (FRHL) Scheme, the rate of interest remains same throughout the loan tenure.

When can I draw down the loan?

You can draw down the loan after satisfactory work-in-progress, completion of all legal
documentation and after full investment of your own contribution. Your own contribution is the

Demand Draft drawn in favour of "Delta Brac Housing Finance Corporation Ltd."

payable, on Home Loans with principal amount of up to BDT 2,000,000/- (Taka Twenty Lakhs
only), would be deducted from the total taxable income. As a result, the income tax liability
would be substantially reduced.

For a person taking loan at gross ROI 15.00% p.a. and presently paying income tax @ 25%, the
effective net ROI is 11.25% pa (15.00x75%) ie. 3.75% pa savings due to reduced tax payments
by the borrower.
