The acceptable DSR varies from FI to FI but it usually between 40% to 50%.</p><p>The following factors are considered in the computation of DSR:</p><ol><li>All existing loans by a borrower with monthly repayments, like housing loans, car loans, personal loans, etc.</li><li>For credit facilities like overraft and credit cards, the FI will take into accounts a percentage of the facility provided. Some FIs factor in the utilized portion of the facility, while others take the whole credit limit into consideration. Therefore, if the gross monthly income is $5,000, then the total monthly financial commitments including the current monthly repayment for the loan being applied for - must not exceed $2000 ( based on a 40% ratio ). If not, the loan application may be rejected.</li><li>If your gross monthly financial commitment exceed the acceptable DSR, you will have to either cancel some of your other facilities, or apply for a lower loan amount.</li></ol><p>But do note that different FIs will have different components in their formulas, so it's best to seek the advice of the respective Housing Loan Specialist (HLS) that you are working on the particular loan.</p><p></p> |
