I have shortlisted a 40x60 site which has BBMP khatha. The guidance value is Rs 700. I plan to go for a composite loan (site + construction). If I go through PSU banks, I believe that I will be getting x% of the sale deed value, which is approx 1/4th of the market value.

The question: How do I get finance for the bigger amout? I can self finance for 30% of the market value, but for the 70% of the market value, I need a bank loan.

How can I get bank loans from PSU or private banks, which can finance for 70% of the market value? Are there any workarounds w/ banks within the legal purview?

Also, the seller is insisting that I pay 50% in cash and 50% in cheque. With the self finance of 30%, I still need to pay 20% in cash. How can I manage this?

Those who have already undergone similar experience, please share your thoughts.

bkrag,
You can get loan from IDBI housing finance ltd at the market value of the property at 9% interest rate for upto 75% of the property cost. The market value of the property will be estimated by the bank officials which wil be close to the actual market value.

I too had this problem of seller asking for cash. We know that by paying cash we are converting our money into black. Finally paid him abt 15% in cash which was self financed and took receipt for the same.

Will I have any legal issues if I pay 50% by cash to the seller? How will Income Tax dept consider this?

Basically, all have is white By paying in cash, I am converting "white" to "black".

Hi Bkrag,

instead of registering your site on guidance value of Rs 700/- , you do it at a bigger amount where you can meet your target(say for Rs 1500/-). but you need to shell out more on stamp duty. also check with your auditor about tax implications.

I got a call from my bank after a week or so asking for reasons for drawing so much (3 laks) in cash. i told them the fact. they recommended me to make the payment in DD/cheque in future. thats abt it. i dont know if there are any other implications. Having a "valid" receipt for your cash payment is a must so that you have a proof of how you spent your money.
