What is the maximum amount I can borrow for a home loan?
According to the HDFC Bank website, “The maximum amount you can borrow for a home loan depends on various factors, including your income, creditworthiness, and the policies of the lending institution.

Lenders typically offer up to 80-90% of the property’s value as a home loan.”
