SBI Home Loan, Auto/Car Loan Rates After Latest Revision

SBI or State Bank of India cut interest rate on home loan and auto/car loan by 5 basis points, effective November 1. After the latest revision, SBI reduced home loan rate to 8.30 per cent, which it claims to be the "lowest" in the industry, from 8.35 per cent earlier. Similarly, after the latest interest rate cut, SBI, which is the biggest lender in the country, is offering auto/car loan, at a starting interest rate of 8.70 per cent, compared to 8.75 per cent earlier.

SBI Home Loan Rate

On home loan, SBI said the "effective interest rate for all eligible salaried customers will be 8.30 per annum for loans up to Rs 30 lakh. Rates have been reduced by 5 bps point in all the brackets." In cases where the new customer is eligible for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, he/she can also avail of an interest subsidy of up to Rs 2.67 lakh on top of the 8.30 per cent interest rate. The PM Awas Yojana subsidy scheme is against the home loan of the beneficiary. This means that the subsidy amount will be credited in the loan account of the beneficiary. The subsidy amount is credited upfront and it will reduce the principal outstanding amount of the loan.

Commenting on the rate cut, PK Gupta, MD for retail and digital banking at SBI, said, "With this reduction in rates, we are offering lowest rates for most of our product offering in the retail loans. Lower rates along with wide distribution network and use of digital technology to enhance customer experience is a perfect package for any retail loan customer."

SBI Auto/Car Loan Rate

For new car loan or auto loan customer, SBI is offering interest rate ranging from 8.70 per cent per annum to 9.20 per cent, compared to earlier range of 8.75 per cent to 9.25 per cent. SBI said the exact rate depends on the amount of loan and the credit score of the individual.
