In response to the Reserve Bank of India’s repo rate reduction, the State Bank of India (SBI,) on the 10th of April, announced a cut in interest rates on home loans.

Taking the lead once again, the SBI, the largest lender in India, passed a motion, which is going to be effective from the 10th of April. The SBI had first reduced its home loan rates by 0.05 % in February, which makes this move the second reduction by the Bank.

The revised marginal costs of funds lending rate (MCLR) now stands at 8.50 %, as opposed to the 8.55 % issued in the previous term. For home loans below Rs. 30 lakhs, the interest rates are going to be between 8.60 % to 8.90 %.

Both private and state banks have been neck to neck in terms of reducing the home loans and are considerably lowering the interest rates for home loans.

In fact, Shaktikanta Das, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI,) said, it was the banks’ responsibility to ensure growth in the Country and sticking to this thought, the designated banking regulator should have consultations with banks in order to create an effective mechanism for monetary transmissions.

In a vote which stood at a majority of 4:2, the RBI cut the rates, saying there was a severe and immediate need to promote growth in India.

Sticking to the path set by the RBI, HDFC, the largest private sector bank in India, also reduced its MCLR by 5-10 bps. At the current revised rate, the interest rate stands at 8.7 %.

Unfortunately, despite the RBI announcing the reductions in the home loans, lenders aren’t able to make the necessary sanctions due to extremely tight hold on liquidity.

With rate reductions like these in home loans, sectors like real estate and textile are expected to experience a massive boom.

Stay tuned for more updates.
