Home Loans: Top 5 banks including HDFC, SBI with lowest rates of interest – check full list

 

HDFC Bank charges interest rate on its home loan in the range of 9.4 to 9.95 percent per annum. SBI charges a rate that hovers between 9.15 percent and 9.75 percent based on the borrower’s CIBIL score.


The marginal difference in the interest rate can end up making a significant difference in the total interest outgo for the borrower over the loan tenure.

If you are planning to buy a house and looking for a home loan for the same, you would ideally be looking not only for a bank that can give you money as early as possible but also the one that charges a low rate of interest.

After all, the marginal difference in the interest rate can end up making a significant difference in the total interest outgo for the borrower over the loan tenure.

Let us suppose, someone raises 50 lakh loan at 9.8 percent interest rate, the EMI (equated monthly installment) for 10 years would be 65,523. The EMI rises to 66,075 when the interest rate inches upward to 10 percent per annum

Over a period of 10 years, the borrower will end up paying 66,240 higher if the rate of interest is only 20 basis points higher.

Interest          50 lakh repayment in 10 years 
9.8%                65,523 X 120 = 78,62,760
10%             66,075 X 120 = 79,29,000
Difference: 66,240 in 120 months
