What Is the LTV Cap on a Rs 1 Crore Home Loan?

Short answer: For a loan above Rs 75 lakh, like a Rs 1 crore home loan, RBI caps the LTV at 75% - meaning the bank can lend at most Rs 75 lakh, and you must arrange at least Rs 25 lakh (25%) yourself, even if the property is valued higher.

The law behind it

RBI Loan-to-Value (LTV) Norms for Home Loans

RBI caps how much of a property's value a bank can lend as a home loan, on a sliding scale - the bigger the loan, the smaller the percentage. This decides the minimum down payment a buyer must arrange from their own pocket.
