Criteria Selection of Housing Loan Based on Dominance-Based Rough Set Theory: An Indian Case

Abstract

Because India has one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, the Indian banking sector is essential to the country’s reform. The approval of home loans to customers is one of the crucial tasks carried out by Indian banks. The risk of loan repayment outside of the agreed-upon time frame can be reduced by accurately estimating the customer’s loan need. The majority of earlier studies on the development of banking lacked a methodical approach to analyze qualitative data. Even though the traditional multivariate statistically based factor analysis approach is a great way to categories data in qualitative analysis, the technique cannot be used without any statistical presumptions and additional information about the data. This study handles the banking attributes related to home loans using the Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (D-RSA). In order to categorize the customer’s attributes, this study suggests using a preference-based “if … then” decision rule. This rule can aid decision makers in understanding the risk factors associated with loan factors for a financial organization.
