Which Finance Company Has the Lowest Mortgage Loan Rate in Nepal? (2026)

The cheapest mortgage loan in Nepal for Asar 2083 (June 2026) starts at Janaki — 14.37% p.a., against a market average of 14.37% and a high of 14.37% (Janaki). In Nepal a floating loan rate = base rate + a premium; the full ranking and what the gap costs you are below.

Market snapshot

1 banks offer this loan from 14.37% to 14.37%, averaging 14.37% (median 14.37%). The 0.00-point gap between cheapest and dearest is large on a big, long loan — the worked example below shows exactly how much.

Worked EMI example

On a Rs 30.00 lakh mortgage loan over 15 years at Janaki's 14.37%, the EMI is about Rs 40,701 per month, with total interest of roughly Rs 43.26 lakh. At the most expensive bank (14.37%) the EMI rises to about Rs 40,701 — around Rs 0 more every month, or Rs 0 more in total interest over the term. Try your own figures on the EMI calculator.

How the rate is built (and fixed vs floating)

Most Nepali loans are floating: rate = the bank's base rate + a fixed premium, and it resets when the base rate moves with NRB policy. Some banks offer a fixed rate for an initial period — higher to start, but predictable. Lenders also weigh your income and repayment capacity, the collateral value and loan-to-value (LTV) limit, your credit history, and tenure. A lower rate with a longer tenure cuts the EMI but raises total interest.

How we sourced these figures

Every rate on this page is taken from each institution's published rate sheet for the Asar 2083 (June 2026) period and cross-checked against Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) disclosures. We re-verify the numbers each Nepali month, and the comparison table and the figures quoted in the text are generated from the same dataset — so they always agree.

Mortgage / Property Loan at Nepal's finance companys: Borrowing Against Your Home or Commercial Space

A mortgage or property loan at Nepal's finance companys lets you borrow a large sum by pledging residential or commercial real estate as collateral. Because the loan is secured against a tangible asset, a finance company can offer bigger amounts and longer tenures than an unsecured personal loan, making it one of the most common ways Nepali households fund a home purchase, construction, or major life expense. Understanding how the loan is sized, priced, and repaid helps you borrow with confidence and avoid costly surprises.

How valuation and loan-to-value work

Before Nepal's finance companys approves anything, an empanelled engineer or valuator inspects the property and prepares a valuation report estimating its fair market and distress (forced-sale) value. Your sanctioned amount is then capped by the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio — the share of that assessed value the finance company is willing to lend. Nepal Rastra Bank sets prudential ceilings on LTV, so you must fund the balance yourself as a down payment or margin. Clean title, a registered lalpurja, and an unencumbered plot with proper road access all support a stronger valuation and a smoother approval.

Tenure, EMI and pricing

Property loans typically run over long tenures, repaid through an Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) that blends principal and interest. A longer tenure lowers the monthly EMI but increases total interest paid over the life of the loan; a shorter tenure does the opposite. Like all lending in Nepal, your rate is built as Nepal's finance companys's published Base Rate plus a premium, and it usually floats — meaning your EMI can rise or fall when the Base Rate moves. Ask Nepal's finance companys for a full amortisation schedule so you can see exactly how much of each EMI goes to interest versus principal.

Eligibility & documents

Approval depends on your repayment capacity and the quality of the collateral. Nepal's finance companys will assess your age, stable income, existing obligations and credit history, and will complete standard KYC verification. Salaried applicants, self-employed professionals and business owners can all qualify, provided documented income comfortably covers the EMI.

  • Identity & KYC: citizenship certificate, passport-size photos, and PAN.
  • Income proof: salary certificate and recent bank statements for salaried borrowers; audited financials, tax returns and business registration for the self-employed.
  • Property papers: lalpurja (land ownership certificate), certified transfer deed, tippot/field map, tax clearance receipts, and a four-boundary (charkilla) certificate from the ward.
  • Approvals: approved building drawings and municipal construction permission for constructed or under-construction property.

Nepal's finance companys will also register a mortgage lien over the property with the relevant Land Revenue Office until the loan is fully repaid.

Tax and cost considerations

Interest you pay on a mortgage is a cost, not income, so no TDS applies to it — but remember that interest earned on any fixed deposit or savings you hold at Nepal's finance companys is taxed at 5% TDS for individuals. Budget separately for one-off charges such as valuation and legal fees, mortgage registration at the Land Revenue Office, and insurance on the property, since these are paid up front and are not part of your EMI.

How to get the best deal

  • Compare the all-in cost, not just the headline rate — weigh the Base Rate plus premium, processing fees and any prepayment charges together.
  • Keep your EMI affordable, ideally a comfortable fraction of your monthly income, so a future rate rise does not strain your budget.
  • Maintain a clean credit record, as a strong repayment history can improve both your eligibility and the premium Nepal's finance companys offers over the Base Rate.
  • Make part-prepayments from bonuses or windfalls where the terms allow, to cut the outstanding principal and total interest.
  • Read the sanction letter carefully, confirming tenure, reset conditions, and any penalties before you sign.

Who it suits

A property loan from Nepal's finance companys suits buyers, builders and business owners who own or are acquiring real estate, have steady documented income, and prefer a long, structured repayment. It is a serious, multi-year commitment secured by an asset you cannot afford to lose — so borrow within your means, keep an emergency buffer, and treat every EMI as a priority payment.
