5. Professional Tips to Avoid Rejections
To avoid delays during the bank advocate's review, keep these tips in mind:
- Match names on all IDs: Spelling variations (e.g., matching a middle name on PAN but not Aadhaar) can cause verification issues. Make sure names are aligned.
- Submit clean, legible copies: Blurred agreement scans or incomplete bank statement pages (missing the bank logo or transactions list) can lead to queries from the processing center.
- Collect builder NOCs early: Request the builder NOC in SBI's format as soon as you get your booking confirmation, as builders can take 3-7 days to issue it.
