Loans for Architects
Architects earn in stages against project milestones, which makes income lumpy and makes a single quarter a poor guide to a year. There is also a point about the Architects Act 1972 worth being precise on, because it is widely misunderstood: section 37 prohibits the use of the title and style of architect by anyone not registered with the Council of Architecture, but the Supreme Court held in Council of Architecture v. Mukesh Goyal in 2020 that it does not bar unregistered persons from performing architectural functions such as design, supervision and construction. Registration governs the title. That distinction matters when a lender is deciding how to read your income, and we make sure the file states your position accurately rather than leaving it ambiguous.

We understand architect income. Our advisor matches you with the right lender.
Why Architects Get Better Rates
Milestone Income Presented Across a Full Year
Fees arrive against project stages. Three months of statements can badly misrepresent a practice; a full financial year with matching invoices does not.
Registration Position Stated Accurately
Whether or not you are registered with the Council of Architecture, the file should say so plainly. Ambiguity on this point invites a query late in the process.
TDS Records Used as Corroboration
Professional fees generally carry TDS, so Form 26AS gives an independent trace of income alongside your own invoices.

Loan FAQs for Architects
To use the title, yes. Section 37 of the Architects Act 1972 provides that no person other than a registered architect or a firm of architects shall use the title and style of architect. In Council of Architecture v. Mukesh Goyal, decided on 17 March 2020, the Supreme Court held that section 37 prohibits use of the title and does not bar unregistered persons from carrying out architectural functions such as design, supervision and construction. Posts designated Architect, however, cannot be held by unregistered persons, because the designation itself conveys statutory qualification.
