Also, the concession on processing fees will help borrowers save up to 0.40% of the loan amount.
Financial planners say the present situation is a good opportunity for home loan borrowers of other lenders, who still pay at MCLR or BPLR-linked rates, to transfer their loans to banks offering home loans at repo-linked rates. Borrowers having home loans linked to MCLR or BPLR are yet to get the full benefit of RBI’s repo rate reduction.
Those having a residual home loan tenure of more than 15 years and paying more than 7.50% interest on their existing home loan, stand to benefit if they transfer their home loans to SBI.
