The State Bank of India has reduced interest rates on home loans by up to 10 basis points (bps), offering loans starting from 6.70 per cent, till March 31, 2021.

According to an official statement, these new rates are based on the loan amount and credit score of the borrower 

As per the bank, home loan interest rates will start from 6.70 per cent for loans up to Rs 75 lakh and 6.75 per cent for loans in the range of Rs 75 lakh-Rs 5 crore.

The bank's Deputy Managing Director (Retail Business) Saloni Narayan said, "We want to take advantage of the festive season, especially Holi. This being the last month of the year, we are looking at a good number."

 Customers can also apply for home loans using Yono app to get an additional interest concession of 5 bps, the bank said.

 Narayan said the bank does not see many challenges in terms of repayments in the home loan segment.

 "We are mindful of whatever stresses are there and we are reaching out to the customers.

 "We are taking several steps within and outside the bank and also giving options to borrowers on how they can repay the loans. We are monitoring closely and, as of now, I don't see much of a challenge," she said.
