Loans for Retired Government Employees
Banks approve pension loans to the pensioners maintaining their pension or pension payment order with them. The loan eligibility of a pension loan applicant is derived from the monthly pension drawn by the pension account holder through his pension account. Banks usually do not ask for margin or security for pension loans. The interest rates of pension loans charged by the banks are also usually lower than their personal loan interest rates.
Pensioners have very few chances of availing pension loan or personal loan from banks through which they do not draw their pension. Hence, they usually have very restricted consumer choice for availing credit in their golden years. If a pensioner fails to avail personal loan from his pension-drawing bank, then the best way to avail credit would be to request an earning family member to avail personal loan and use his pension to pay off the EMIs

availing top up home loan from their existing home loan lenders. As the interest rates of top-up home loans are usually the same as the underlying home loan, the interest rates of such top-up home loans are most likely to be lower than the pension loan rates. Thus, a top-up home loan can expand a pensioner’s consumer choice, especially if the home loan was availed from a lender other than the pension-drawing bank. In case, their home loan lender refuses them to offer them top-up home loans or charges higher interest rate for it, then they consider shifting their existing home loan to a lender willing to sanction them top-up home loan along with the loan transfer.
Pensioners having existing home loans can check the home loan rates offered by various banks and Housing Finance Companies to transfer their existing home loan at lower rates as well as avail top-up home loans as an additional source of finance for meeting personal needs.
