    "Affordable" housing for all: Banks cut lending rates
  • Following PM Narendra Modi's affordable housing announcement, home loan rates fell to their lowest in six years.

    State Bank of India cut the effective rate from 9.10% to 8.6% and its one-year Marginal Cost of Lending Rate (MCLR) - the benchmark linked to home loans - from 8.9% to 8%.

    SBI kept the spread above MCLR at 60 basis points against 20 basis points.

  • Home loans up to Rs.75 lakh, earlier given by SBI at 9.1%, would now be given at 8.6%; 8.65% is the rate for other banks.

    Punjab National Bank and Union Bank of India also cut rates while private banks are expected to do so.

    The rate cut signals demonetization's benefits in the form of record-high deposits being shared with the poor and middle classes.

    PM Modi's affordable home loan scheme

  • The reduction in housing rates by several public banks would make available the affordable home loan scheme, announced by PM Narendra Modi, at 4% (or little higher) for those seeking loans of up to Rs.9 lakh. The scheme's details are yet to be announced.

  • MCLR Reduction

  • Home loans are linked to one-year MCLR, the rates are locked-in for 12 months.

    Older borrowers would enjoy the benefit of new rates only after the end of their one-year lock-in.

    The EMIs of loans availed before Apr'16 would be linked to earlier benchmark; these borrowers need to enter into a fresh bank contract (by paying a fee) to get loans linked to MCLR.

  • Quote

    EMI cheque smaller than rent cheque?

  • Indiabulls Housing Finance Vice-Chairman & MD, Gagan Banga, said subsidized home loans would find many borrowers as EMI cheque would now be much smaller than the rent one. He added, "This is a tremendously positive announcement to realize the 'Housing for All' objective."

    New rates will be effective 7th January, 2016 onwards.
