In a good news for homebuyers, home loans would become cheaper from next month as the largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has decided to offer interest rate lowest at 8.05% from beginning September 2019. Surprising, but quite true! New home buyers can actually avail home loan at just 8.05% rate. This can also be attributed to RBI’s rate cut in third bi-monthly monetary policy of FY20, where policy repo rate has been brought down to 5.40%. SBI is the first bank to link their home loan with repo rate, and hence, the latter’s cut brings good news to home buyers. 

Via its twitter account, SBI said, “#SBI gives you an extra reason to celebrate! With the lowest interest rate of 8.05% based on the #Repo Linked Lending Rate, for your #HomeLoan this #festive season will definitely be more joyous.”

Following the MCLR cut, SBI currently offers the lowest home loan rate to salaried women at an interest rate of 8.35% to 8.45% on amount upto Rs 30 lakhs. In case of non-salaried women, then the interest is higher between 8.50 to 8.60%. On the same home loan amount, interest rate is set at 8.40% to 8.50% on salaried men and 8.55% to 8.65% on non-salaried men. Home loans above Rs 30 lakhs and upto Rs 75 lakhs, has 8.60% to 8.70% rate on salaried women, while 8.75% to 8.85% is levied on non-salaried women.
