Then pull your most recent income documents, salary slips or ITR, depending on your employment type. Finally, confirm your property documents are complete, ideally with your builder or seller\u2019s help, before submitting your full application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having everything organized in one folder, rather than scrambling as each document is requested, speeds up approval significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Happens If a Document Is Missing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most lenders will flag a missing document and pause your application until it\u2019s submitted, rather than reject you outright.
