The applicant must be at least 21 years of age with a regular source of income from employment or self-employment to be eligible for a commercial loan. The loan must terminate before or when the applicant turns 65 years of age. The loan can be for the purchase/construction/extension of a non-residential property. A loan for renovation will only be given at the time when the property has been acquired. Professionally qualified and self-employed individuals can apply but a minimum of 3-year work experience is a necessary.

The loan amount depends on a number of factors such as age, income, number of dependents, qualifications, assets and liabilities, income stability, business profits, etc.
However, there are other ways to increase loan eligibility and amount. For e.g. if a spouse or fiancée is earning, then applying together as co-applicants can increase chances of a larger loan amount. In such cases, proof of marriage must be submitted. On the contrary, if there are any co-owners they must necessarily be co-applicants. Providing additional security like bonds, fixed deposits and LIC policies may also help to enhance the eligibility. Nonetheless, the most important factor in sanctioning loans is repayment ability. The total cost includes registration charges, transfer charges and stamp duties.
