It will offer Gruh Setu Home Loan – mortgage guarantee backed affordable home loans to customersfrom the unserved and underserved regions.
Gruh Setu Home Loan aims to cater to the aspirational needs of salaried and self-employed customers across geographies and take them a step closer to owning their dream home. The loan offering is designed to extend loans to individuals who receive salary by bank or cash, pensioners, employees of proprietorships and partnership firms as well as self-employed professionals like doctors or architects, small business owners, proprietors and partners of partnership firms.
Jairam Sridharan, Managing Director, PCHFL, said, “Piramal’s Affordable Housing solutions are targeted towards the unserved and underserved customers of Bharat. While we have designed specific products to serve this population, there is a segment that is presently credit unviable. Our new offering Gruh Setu, created in partnership with IMGC, allows us to expand credit into this population with the support of a mortgage guarantee. We expect this partnership to generate 10-12% of our housing business.”
