[Resolved] State Bank of India — Max gain home loan | |
To The State Bank of India, Dear SBI Management, I have applied for max gain home loan from SBI in 2009, and got it sanctioned as max gain. At the time of signing all the documents at the RASCC , Thane , I specifically asked the RASCC official whether the loan is sanctioned as max gain as per my application for max gain and she confirmed it so. Then very happily I signed all the documents as instructed by RASCC official and I got even the first disbursement. As the SBI home loan was only around 50 % of the home cost, I with hard efforts managed to raise balance fund by selling my other savings/investment instruments. As an obvious choice I put that money in the loan account by on line money transfer (by some few clicks of mouse). When I needed the money for paying the builder I could not transfer it in reverse way. I approached SBI branch and as per SBI instructions ,I applied for a check book for my loan account withdrawal. After almost one month, as I didn’t receive the check book, I enquired with my branch and then they said it cant be given as my loan account is opened in Term loan not as max gain. I was not even aware of the difference between max gain & term loan. I approached RASCC , Thane and showed my sanction letter for max gain home loan, and narrated the whole story. He apologized and admitted that it is RASCC mistake & asked me to give one application and assured me that correction in the loan account type will be done immediately. Since then I followed up with RASCC, visited their Thane office 7-8 times. After all such visits at the end I was told that my account being Term loan type I can not get my money back. I could not believe my ears. It was a shock for me as without that money it was not possible for me to pay my portion of home cost to the builder. The then new RASCC official politely said "we are sorry, and this kind of things do happen because of rush for loan, don’t worry we'll now change it to Max gain. Give a fresh application for account change " I can recall few things now. So many times I visited RASCC, Thane office for this and politely requested officials,. months after months nothing happened,. I visited the RASCC more than 7-8 visits. But in every visit none of the RASCC official I approached took initiative to open my file & see my application and do corrective actions. As I need my money to repay the builder, I do not see any solution. I took personal loans from my friends for time being. But I need money to repay them . Now also I feel I am cheated by RASCC,. Hence as a last option I am approaching this forum. I think SBI RASCC TOP management can help me to resolve this problem and will give me opportunity to withdraw my money I put in the loan account. Was this information helpful? | |

Hi,
I recently (Jan-2012) got my SBI Max Gain Housing Loan sanctioned and got the total disbersement except the Registration Amount.
My Max Gain A/c is active, and I can deposit into it. In fact I deposited too to get the benefit, but I can not withdraw a single rupee from my Max Gain A/c till the time my flat get registered and I get the possession. The bank told that they will activate withdrawal access to my Max Gain A/c only after my flat’s possession and registry of the flat (they say that this is the rule).
But is that true, that the surplus amounts deposited to Max Gain A/c before registration of the house is as good as pre-payment and we can not withdraw that amount when needed? Not even after registry and possession of the flat? SBI says that we can withdraw the amount deposited to the Max Gain A/c only after registration/possession of the flat. And we can do the transaction only on the amount deposited after registrastration/possession. The amount deposited in the Max Gain A/c before the registration/possession is a one way transaction and that can not be withdrawn even after possession/registration of the flat.
They also says that I will be able to get the ATM/Cheque Book for Max Gain A/c only after registration/possession of the flat, not before that.
Please note that Loan of Rs. 30L was sanctioned for me @10.5% in Jan-2012; They have already disbursed about Rs. 27L and remaining Rs. 3L will be released during registration of the flat (As registration fee)... Please note that registration fee got sanction in my case as I applied before the RBI rule came that says the Flat/Land Registration or Legal charges etc should not be part of Housing Loan... Now even SBI is not adding Registration/VAT/ST etc. as part of your housing loan.

@Ranjeet,
Even i had same problem, i got max gain home loan sanctioned for 30L. i have transferred some money to that account before registration.
When i needed that money for paying builder, i had to visit the branch.
Luckily, the manager accepted to return the money, but he told that interest benefit i got for the money i put in, will be detected.
But i am happy that i got the money back. otherwise i have to apply for some personal loan.

This can't be illegal as there system is providing transaction rights. The way they configured system either is buggy or maxgain accounts can be given transactions rights even before possession. In either of case it can't be termed as illegal.
