Buying a home is one of the biggest decision a person makes in their life. It continues to be a costly affair which one cannot pay with a single down payment due to the cost of houses being very high. It is for this purpose people opt for home loans using which they can get their dream home and repay the money borrowed in the form of monthly instalments or EMIs.
Now if an individual had done their due diligence and research before applying for the loan they would have the best home loan deal and will pay the loan according to the plan and will not think twice about it. But what if a person had not done proper due diligence or research before applying for a home loan and later come to know of better loan offers like what Citibank offer, what can they do? This is where home loan balance transfer comes in handy.
If a person feels that they can get better terms from another bank on their home loan which they had previously availed, they can transfer the home loan from existing bank to the new bank.
The new bank will settle the balance amount to be paid to the existing bank in full and take up the loan based on the terms finalized with the borrower.
The reasons one might go for home loan balance transfer are as follows
1. If you are paying higher interest rate compared to other banks in the industry, then one will go for balance transfer.
2. If your current bank’s loan tenure is low while another bank can provide a higher tenure. The added advantage is that with longer tenure you will have lesser EMI each month.
3. Service related issues with the bank

The process for Citibank process for Home Loan Balance takeover is as follows
Your Citibank home loan can be repaid in following three ways.
Standing Instruction (SI) is the best way to repay your home loans if you are an existing account holder with Citibank. Your EMI amount will be debited automatically at the end of the monthly cycle from the Citibank account you specify. Then there is the option of Electronic Clearing Service (ECS) which can be used if you have a non-Citibank account and would like your EMIs to be debited automatically at the end of the monthly cycle from this account. Lastly there is the Post-Dated Cheques (PDCs) using which you can submit post-dated EMI cheques from a non-Citibank account at your nearest Citibank Loan Centre. A fresh set of PDCs will have to be submitted in a timely manner. Please note Post Dated Cheques will be collected non-ECS locations only.
It is recommended that you opt for either the SI or ECS mode of payment for faster and less prone to error than the use of PDCs.
