Introduction
One of the most common reasons for delays in home loan approval is incomplete paperwork. Every bank requires a standard set of documents to verify your identity, income, and property details before sanctioning a loan.
Here’s a complete checklist of documents you should keep ready when applying for a home loan.
1. Identity Proof (KYC Documents)
-
Aadhaar Card / PAN Card
-
Passport / Voter ID / Driving License
2. Address Proof
-
Utility bills (electricity, water, gas)
-
Rent agreement
-
Passport
3. Income Proof
For Salaried Applicants:

Last 3–6 months’ salary slips

5. Property Documents
