Indiabulls Housing Finance is among the leading Non-Banking Finance companies (NBFC) and is regulated by the National Housing Bank (NHB).
The Reserve Bank of India had increased the repo rate by 140 bps so far in this financial year taking the lending rates to 5.4 per cent. The central bank had announced an increase of 50 bps in August. After the repo rate hike by the RBI, banks and NBFCs also started increasing their lending rates, thus increasing the financial burden on the borrowers.
The latest to join the list is Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd (IBHFL). The NBFC today (Sept 15) increased its reference rates for all loans by 10 basis points. The lender said that while the new rates will come into effect from September 15 for new borrowers, the rates will be revised for the existing borrowers from the next payment cycle of October.

On Wednesday (Sept 14), the State Bank of India (SBI) also increased its benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) by 70 bps to 13.45 per cent. The new rates came into effect today. However, the SBI kept the marginal cost of the funds-based lending rate (MCLR) unchanged. A reduction in the MCLR rates would have reduced the cost for all borrowers.
