SBI, Kotak Mahindra Bank PNB, and Bank of Baroda have announced low interest rates, processing fee waivers for loan seekers in the festive season.
New Delhi: State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), Bank of Baroda (BoB), and Kotak Mahindra Bank are offering record low interest rates on loans. This brings cheers for loan seekers ahead of the festive season. While, several credit outreach programmes are set to commence across the country from the month of October, a number of banks have decided to wave loan processing fee and service charges, as per a report by Economic Times
SBI Home Loan Interest Rate
- Public sector lending major SBI has launched credit score-linked home loans at 6.70 per cent, irrespective of the amount. Prior to the SBI’s festive offer, a borrower availing a loan more than than Rs 75 lakh was required to pay an interest rate of 7.15 per cent.
- The offer results in a saving of 45 bps which translates to a huge interest saving of more than Rs 8 lakh, for a Rs 75 lakh loan with a 30 year tenure, SBI was quoted as saying by IANS.
- Apart from this, SBI has removed the distinction between a salaried and a non-salaried home loan borrower. Now, there will be no occupation-linked interest premium being charged to prospective home loan borrowers. This would lead to a further interest saving of 15 bps to non-salaried borrowers.
- Earlier, the rate of interest applicable for a non-salaried borrower was 15 bps higher than those of salaried ones, IANS reported.
