A complete checklist of documents for self employed to apply for home loan.

Our country is a mixed platter of traditional businesses and new age start ups. Whether a family business, new company or independent practice, if you are running your own show independently, kudos to you! 

While it must have been exciting to build your business single-handed, you may have found that practical matters like getting a home loan have not been very easy in the past. Fortunately even this is changing for the better now.

Banks are now happy to give loans to entrepreneurs, business owners, self employed and professionals. Of course they will run their checks and due diligence to make sure their loan is safe.   

Over the past weeks we have shared different aspects of home loans to self employed and professionals. In Home loans for self employed – Part I and Home loans for self employed- Part II  we covered aspects like who is considered self employed, who is a professional, what are some profiles banks stay away from, how you should maintain records of your income etc.

You would know by now, banks like to evaluate your case a bit more in depth if you are applying for a home loan and you are self employed. But this is not because they are suspicious. It is only because every business comes with different challenges. The decision on eligibility is not as straight forward as a salaried individual. So the bank will ask you for a number of documents to make sure your case is solid. Let’s take a look at what documents for self employed need to put together when applying for a home loan:
