Build the EMI for your real number
Decide what you actually want to borrow (probably 20-30% less than the eligibility) and run the EMI.

What banks check beyond FOIR
- CIBIL score (750+ unlocks best rates; under 700 limits options and raises rate).
- Employment stability (2+ years in current job is a soft requirement at most private banks).
- Bank statement: salary credits + minimum balance + cheque returns.
- For self-employed: 2-3 years of ITR + business continuity proof.
Improving your eligibility
- Close small running EMIs (credit card minimums, BNPL) before applying. Each removed EMI raises your eligibility by ~₹10-15 lakh.
- Add a co-applicant (spouse, parent) with stable income to combine FOIR.
- Choose a longer tenure to lower the EMI and qualify for a bigger loan, then prepay aggressively to actually close the loan early.
- Park a few months of income in the same bank you are applying to; relationship-based discounts on rate are real (5-15 bps).
