SBI vs HDFC Bank home loan war! Largest lenders have cut their interest rates
Every change in the repo rate will have a direct impact on SBI’s home loan interest rates, so w.e.f 10th July 2019, SBI has cut off the interest rates by 0.5%. At this point of time, it would be the largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) that is offering the lowest interest rate on home loans and it is specifically meant for women.
