Customer Story: factory worker, Gujarat

For the past 2 years, this customer has been working at a pump manufacturing company as a daily wage laborer. He earns Rs. 500 per day for his 12 hour shift (8:30 am - 8:30 pm). His brother works as a security guard while his mother works at a local milk company, where her job is to keep a track of the milk vans that are dispatched on a daily basis.

Customer Story: seed / grain seller, Ahmedabad

Meet Mr. Barot - an MHFC customer who recently took a Rs. 4 lakh home loan to buy a flat in an affordable housing project.
Mr. Barot sells grains / seeds at a large open ground in Ahmedabad so that the general public can feed pigeons. He sells a variety of grains including jowar, bajra, moong, chana, corn etc. Out of the numerous unique occupation types we see in our home loan applications, Mr. Barot's work is definitely a first.
His wife has been working as a maid in two households for the past 8 years. Together, they earn a monthly income of Rs. 37,000 - they even had enough savings to put a down payment of Rs. 2 lakh on the new flat! (Yes! a 1RK flat in this affordable housing project costed the Barot's Rs. 6 lakh!)
Moving into an affordable housing project means that Mr. Barot will no longer be paying any rent - and after fulfilling his EMI payments on the loan, he will finally be a homeowner. You can almost hear the pigeons of Ahmedabad cooing in glee!

MHFC Reaches 10,000 Customers!

We have some exciting news to share today! We recently sanctioned a Rs. 7 lakh home loan to one of our customers in Surat, Gujarat - who happened to be customer number 10,000! Our loan officer in Surat - Jignesh - can be seen in the picture handing over a box of mithai to the customer.
Like all our customers, Ms. Manju Devi's story is unique in its own way. Her husband was a tempo driver, but after he passed away 6 months ago, Manju took over the mantle of bread earner of the family and started working as a cook.
As a mother of 4, Manju realised that her current rented accommodation was insufficient to secure a future for her children. She booked a flat in an affordable housing project in Surat, which she will pay for with the help of an MHFC loan. Additionally, she is also eligible to receive a subsidy under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana's Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme, a benefit that will help her financially.
We look forward to helping more customers achieve their dream of home ownership as we expand to new states & different products. Thank you for sharing this journey with us & stay tuned for more!
