• Minimum age: borrower 21 years and co-applicant 18 years. The Bank says maximum age may be considered up to 70 years.
• Close relatives under the Baroda Home Loan definition may join as co-applicants. A non-relative may be considered only if they jointly own the property.

Passing a listed condition does not mean the bank will approve an application.
