Should I take a life & property insurance for the mortgage?
Life insurance covers your loan outstanding in the event of death. Property Insurance covers your property in the event of natural calamities and accidents
Life & Property Insurance are subjected to the terms and conditions of the policy availed.
DBR (Debt Burden Ratio) / DSR (Debt service ratio)
The DBR primarily measures the likelihood that you can repay your existing loans. The lower the ratio, the easier it is for you to make your monthly loan payments, because they constitute a relatively small percentage of your income.
DBR is used to identify an individual’s ability to manage monthly payment and repay the loans. DBR is calculated by dividing total recurring monthly debts/payments by monthly income, and it is expressed as a percentage. The total recurring debts will include all EMI’s and 5% of the total credit limit of all credit cards held.
DBR is capped at 50%.
