I am having a home loan of 12 lac for 20 years @8.7p.a. roi. I am about to have estimated 4500 Surplus every month out of which I will invest rs 1200 in sip with 1% step up every year and rest in principal. My query is 1-Please suggest the fund names for excellent growth to recover all the interest and principal(if possible). 2- Bank has committed to review and revise roi every year based on my cibil. I want to get this statement verified from the expert 3-My Cibil score is 790 at present. I am a regular user of credit card, pay dues timely, my average monthly bill is 2000/- only. and as told above I am going to have a home loan. I want my cibil score 825. How much time will it take to increase my cibil by 35 points.

Ans: Hello;

Your home loan of 12 L with 8.7%(considered fixed for calculation sake)and 20 year tenure is expected to have an interest outgo of 13.36 L

If you start a SIP of 1200 with 1% top-up each year then it will yield you a corpus of 14.55 L, after 20 years,thereby covering your interest outgo

If you want principal also to be covered for recovery through your investment then you must make a SIP of 2100 with 1% top-up each year which will yield you a corpus of around 25.56 L, after 20 years, thus exceeding your entire loan outgo(principal+ interest) of 25.36 L.

Here I have considered moderate return of 13% and recommend you to invest in PPFAS flexicap fund.

CIBIL score of above 750 is considered excellent and bank should offer you best possible ROI. Do check with other banks for best offer.

CIBIL Score calculation depends on:
Repayment history(35%)
Credit Utilisation (30%)
Credit history(15%)
Credit Mix(10%)
New Credit(10%)

My opinion is you are already in the excellent cibil rating category and should get best ROI from the bank.

CIBIL score increase happens over a period of time based on positive development on aforementioned criteria.
