Housing shortage has always been a major problem over the years. Industry estimates state that there is an overall urban housing shortage of 19 million units, out of which more than 90% of the demand is from the Low income group (LIG) segment and below. One of the other primary reasons apart from unavailability of affordable houses is the unavailability of proper access to financial resources for buying/constructing their houses.
Yes Khushi affordable Home Loans product suite has been designed to address the gap in the market, keeping in mind the unique home loan requirements of Salaried and Self Employed segments of the population in the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) /LIG (Low Income Group) segments. Yes Bank will be catering EWS/LIG segment having formal, semi-formal and informal income documents through various surrogate programs within a strong risk management framework.
