IndusInd to re-enter personal loans

The bank may launch personal loan products in October-December, said a senior official of the bank. “We are looking at launching the products in a selective way. Initially, the product, which is scheduled to be launched in the third quarter of the financial year, will only be sold to the bank’s existing clients,” the official said.

The private sector bank will, however, adopt a cautious approach in granting personal loans, a business characterised by high delinquencies.

The bank’s exposure to the personal loans segment is a mere Rs 200 million, against total outstanding loans worth Rs 130 billion.

The bank has about 2 million clients. The ticket size of the personal loan product will range from Rs 50,000 to Rs 300,000.

Real estate websites list valuable resources for any investor. They can answer many questions that you may have, give you tips on finding great properties on the web, or let you know various financing options that you may have available to you.

Real estate websites can give you links to places that have property listings to help you make your investment decisions. They can point you in the right direction of free or cheap listing sites, but committing to these sites is your decision. When you join these listing sites, especially if you are asked for any credit card information, check to make sure they will not start to charge you after a certain number of days or weeks. Some sites will only give you a free trial period for a particular length of time.

Real estate websites can also help a rookie determine what type of homes may be best for home to invest in or when it may be time for them to move up to the next level.

Many of these real estate websites are run by those who have been in the business or have been educated on real estate themselves. So, the information you find on these sites can be valuable to many an investor.
