What is a home loan?

We can choose either public banks or private institutions. They offer 80-90 % of the quoted loan amount in two or more installments. This amount is to be paid as EMI along with interest till the loan is fully repaid. EMI is nothing but equated monthly installments calculated with principal, interest and tenure.Interest rates will be either fixed or floating depending on the type of loan we opted. While opting home loans we have to clear certain things.
How to choose banks?
