The Lengthy Loan Approval Process in India
Obtaining a home loan in India has traditionally been a tedious and complex process, often requiring extensive paperwork and multiple assessments from various stakeholders in the banking sector. This lengthy wait, as experienced by Disha and Abhinav Sharma, can extend up to a month due to the cumbersome nature of the procedure. Each step typically involves different actors, making the whole process infamously painful for borrowers. The inefficiencies in property evaluations, usually dependent on physical inspections, are a major contributor to these delays.
