Top 5 Housing Finance Companies Offering Cheapest Rates On Home Loans In 2021
A majority of Indian banks have started cutting their floating rate home loan interest rates due to the decision made by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to keep the repo rate unchanged to 4.00% in its third bi-monthly monetary policy for the financial year 2021-22. The deposit rates and lending rates of banks are generally influenced by repo rates and as a result of the latest decision of RBI, banks are now free to offer loans to their customers at lower interest rates. When it comes to bank interest rates, the cheapest rates on home loans now start at 6.60 percent with Kotak Mahindra Bank and 6.70 percent with State Bank of India (SBI). On the other side, there are some housing finance companies (HFCs) that have also reduced their home loan rates which are linked with the Prime Lending Rate (PLR).
As a result of this, on home loans of HFCs, you may not get an interest rate cut which results in lowering your borrowing amount when the repo rate falls, which you need to keep in mind. As of now, there are some HFCs that are offering interest rates on home loans starting from 6.66%, quite comparable to that of banks. But apart from the low eligibility criteria, quicker loan approval, 24/7 customer support, you need to keep the processing fees, penalty rates, and applicable terms and conditions on home loans of HFCs in mind. For the readers planning to purchase their dream home, here we have compiled the top 5 HFCs that are promising lower interest rates on home loans in 2021.
