While applying for a home loan, you need to have the following to support your eligibility for a home loan.

1. Income and tenure: You monthly income shouldn't be lower than the EMI you have to pay.

2. No existing debt position: Ensure you have closed all your previous debts before applying for a home loan. This helps improve your eligibility to qualify for a higher loan.

3. Apply along with a co-borrower: This helps in saving you from loan rejection.

4. Consider step loan: For those who expect their incomes to increase in near future, banks allow them to pay lower EMI in starting years.

5. Add an additional source of income in your application, if you fall short of EMI eligibility.
