Frequently Asked Questions (Statutory FAQs)

What is Debt Service Ratio (DSR) in Malaysia?

Debt Service Ratio (DSR) is the benchmark formula used by commercial banks (e.g., Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank) to assess loan affordability: DSR = (Total Monthly Debt Commitments ÷ Net Monthly Income) × 100%.

What is the maximum acceptable DSR threshold for Malaysian banks?

Typically: For net monthly income below RM 3,000: Maximum DSR is 50% to 60%; For net monthly income between RM 3,000 and RM 10,000: Maximum DSR is 60% to 75%; For high net worth individuals (> RM 10,000): Maximum DSR can reach up to 85%.

What debts are included in the DSR calculation?

Banks include all formal credit bureau liabilities recorded on CCRIS and CTOS: existing car loans, personal loans, credit card minimum payments (5% of balance), study loans (PTPTN), and the proposed new mortgage installment.

What is the maximum housing loan tenure allowed in Malaysia?

Under Bank Negara Malaysia guidelines, the maximum residential mortgage tenure is thirty-five (35) years, or up to the borrower age of seventy (70) years, whichever is earlier.

What is the Standardised Base Rate (SBR) in Malaysia?

The Standardised Base Rate (SBR) is the uniform benchmark linked directly to Bank Negara Malaysia Overnight Policy Rate (OPR). Mortgage interest rates are quoted as SBR + Spread (typically resulting in effective lending rates of 3.85% to 4.35%).
