The risk weightage reduced on home loans is expected to raise the liquidity in system for the bankers to provide more such loans to borrowers. Furthermore, as put, the risk weightage for ticket size over Rs.75 lakh has been reduced to 50% from the previous 75% with loan to value ratio of 75%.

 

Loan to value ratio or LTV is the maximum amount that can be disbursed by a financial institution based on the valuation of the property.

Kumar, MD-National Banking, SBI said, "Taking a cue from the recent RBI reduction in risk weightage on home loans, SBI is passing on the benefit to its customers by reducing its interest rates on home loan above Rs. 75 lakhs."

This is the second reduction in interest rates in last two months. SBI had reduced its interest rates by 25 basis points on April 9, 2017.
