One of the first questions buyers ask about commercial property is: "Can I get a bank loan?" The short answer is yes — commercial property loans exist, and several major banks and NBFCs in India offer them. But the terms are different from a home loan. This guide explains what to expect.
Short answer: Yes, banks fund commercial property. Typical LTV is 60–70% of the property value (vs 75–80% for residential). Your own contribution is 30–40%. Interest rates are typically 0.5–1.5% higher than home loan rates. The exact figures depend on your income profile and the bank's assessment of the project.
Commercial Property Loan vs Home Loan — Key Differences

|---|---|---|
| Maximum LTV | 75–80% of property value | 60–70% of property value |
| Interest rate | 8.5–10% p.a. (typical 2026) | 9.5–11.5% p.a. (typical 2026) |
| Tenure | Up to 30 years | Typically 10–20 years |
| Tax benefit on principal | Section 80C (up to ₹1.5L) | Interest deductible as business expense |
| Tax benefit on interest | Section 24(b) (up to ₹2L self-occ) | Full interest deductible for business use |
| GST on EMI | Not applicable | Not applicable (GST paid on property purchase, not EMI) |
Which Banks Offer Commercial Property Loans?
Most major banks and NBFCs in India offer commercial property loans. Common lenders include:
- State Bank of India (SBI)
- Punjab National Bank (PNB)
- Bank of Baroda
- Union Bank of India
- HDFC Bank / HDFC Ltd
- ICICI Bank
- Axis Bank
- LIC Housing Finance, PNB Housing
Each bank has its own eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and assessment process for the property. A key factor is whether the bank has already empanelled the project — meaning their legal and technical teams have already reviewed the developer's documentation. For empanelled projects, the loan process is faster and often easier to approve.
For Omaxe Kaushambi specifically: WhatsApp Saurabh for information on banks that have empanelled or assessed the project — this significantly simplifies the loan process for buyers.
How LTV Works — A Worked Example
LTV (Loan-to-Value) ratio determines how much of the property price the bank will fund:
Example for a Business Suite at ₹55 lakh:
- Property value: ₹55 lakh
- Maximum bank loan (65% LTV): ₹35.75 lakh
- Your own contribution (35%): ₹19.25 lakh
- Additional charges (GST ~₹4.4L, stamp+reg ~₹4.4L): paid separately from own funds
- Total own contribution needed: approximately ₹28–30 lakh
These are illustrative figures. Actual LTV and eligibility depend on your income, credit score, and the bank's assessment. Verify with your bank before committing.
What the Bank Assesses
Unlike residential property where loan approval is largely borrower-driven, commercial property loans involve a more thorough review of the property itself:
- Developer credentials — listed developer (Omaxe is BSE/NSE listed) vs unlisted; track record of delivery
- Project documentation — approvals, concession agreement (PPP), title clarity, RERA status
- Builder-buyer agreement — bank wants to see the agreement before funding
- Technical valuation — bank-assigned valuer assesses the property's market value independently
- Legal opinion — bank's legal team reviews the title and project documents
- Borrower profile — income, ITR, existing liabilities, CIBIL score
For Omaxe Kaushambi — a PPP project with a listed developer — the project documentation is clearer than many private builder projects. The 90-year government concession agreement is the key instrument the bank's legal team evaluates.
Loan Against Property (LAP) After Possession
Buying commercial property creates a second financial lever: once you receive possession and complete registration, you can use the property as collateral for a Loan Against Property (LAP). This is how many business owners unlock working capital from their commercial assets.
- Business Suite valued at ₹70L post-possession (assumed appreciation)
- LAP at 55% LTV: ₹38.5 lakh in business credit at LAP rates
- Use: business expansion, equipment, working capital
- Interest: fully deductible as business expense
This is separate from the original purchase loan — it is a fresh loan taken after possession against the value of the owned property. It converts static capital into a productive business credit line.
Tax Deduction on Commercial Property Loan Interest
Unlike a home loan (which has capped deductions), interest on a commercial property loan used for business is fully deductible as a business expense under the Income Tax Act. There is no ₹2 lakh cap that applies to residential self-occupied property.
For a self-employed professional (CA, CS, doctor, consultant) or business owner, the loan interest directly reduces taxable income — making the effective cost of borrowing lower than the stated rate.
Consult your CA for the specific deduction treatment applicable to your income category and filing structure.
