India Mortgage Guarantee Corporation (IMGC) has announced its strategic partnership with the Bank of India (BOI) to offer mortgage guarantee-backed home loan products.
“This collaboration will focus on salaried and self-employed home loan customers in the affordable housing segment. Leveraging IMGC’s guarantee expertise and BOI’s network of over 5,100 branches across India, this collaboration will enable the public sector bank to provide home loan products with greater flexibility and security to potential homeowners,” IMGC said in a statement.
