Earlier in September, Kotak Mahindra Bank had kick-started the festive season by introducing home loan interest rates, beginning 6.50% per annum—a limited period festival offer that was expiring on November 8, 2021.  

Similarly, other banks may also extend the offers, said Shah.  

This comes amid attractive home loan interest rates being offered by the public sector banks and good demand and response from retail investors.  

"It is for the first time that Union Bank is offering an exciting interest rate of as low as 6.40% on home. It has not happened in the last 15 years. Private banks are planning to extend the offers due to good competition from government sector banks," said Shah.  

Good thing about these loans is that majority of them do have processing fee or any other similar fees, he pointed out. Shah said besides these benefits, banks are also allowing balance transfers at lower rates for existing customers.
