Dear all housing loan takers ,don't u think we have been cheated by indian Finence minister and Housing Finence Companies,specially ICICI and HDFC.In june 2005 Housing loan int.rate was 7%for floating and 7.5% for fixed.Finence policies were rapidly changed for benefits of these H.F.Cs. Housing loan rates were rapidly slashed earlier to influence peaple to fullfill their dream of their own home.When all the groups has gone out of their limits and took heavy loan,lured by cheap int.rates.When these HFCs have enough customers in markets and demand was more than their funds ,they 've started increasing int rates on housing loans rapidly and within 20 moths it has shot up by 3.5% on floating resulting in 10.5%ROI.Today i feel like cheated as the over all value addition to the property is very less than hike in ROI.My EMIs are not decreasing even after paying 20 EMIs.Now I can't even sell my house as whatever i 've spent in 20 months, on this house ,I will not get it back.Pls give your opinion about this.

But it has been already stated that the interest rate will be changing.If we want to repay in long term then it will be better to go for fixed interest rates.Atleast they have made a decision that there wont be any hike in the interest rate in the coming quarter.But apart from the interest rate the real estate has gained appreciation value.so i think we are not gainers and we are not loosers.

yes it was stated but morally its wrong to increase interest such rapidly.
