What is Home First Finance — and why most rejected borrowers qualify

By Dhansethu Team · June 2025

Home First Finance is an NBFC that was built specifically to serve borrowers that mainstream banks reject. If you have informal income, no ITR, or low CIBIL — this lender is designed for your situation.

Unlike HDFC or SBI which use automated systems based on CIBIL scores and formal ITR, Home First Finance uses manual underwriting. A field officer visits your place of work or business and assesses your income directly from what they observe.
