Despite the changes and revisions that banks and other private-sector lenders are rolling out for customers ahead of the festive season, many borrowers continue to be tied to their old loans which in turn is tied to the Base Rate or Marginal Cost of fund-based Lending Rates (MCLR). The Newer loans on the other hand are linked to an external benchmark which is RBI’s Repo Rate for most banks.
The external benchmarks serve the purpose of transparency when it comes to benchmark-linked loans. This often leaves lenders with no choice but to cut the repo rate reduction benefits to the customers. However, there is hope. Have a look at some of the housing finance companies and banks that offer customers the lowest interest rates on a home loan.
Kotak Mahindra Bank
Kotak Mahindra Bank is a private sector bank that offers some of the cheapest rates on a home loan. Kotak Mahindra Bank rolled out its revised rates effective from September 10, 2021. As it stands, the bank offers its customers a home loan interest rate of 6.50 per cent per annum on both Fresh Home Loans and Balance Transfer Loans. This interest rate was made applicable for salaried individuals. For those who are self-employed, the bank has given an interest rate of 6.60 per cent onwards. The total range of interest rates for salaried individuals starts at 6.50 per cent per annum and ends at 7.10 per cent annum depending on the loan amount. For the self-employed, this can start at 6.65 per cent per annum and end at 7.25 per cent per annum.
