An additional 5 bps concession for all home loans is given if applied through YONO, the statement said.
SBI now offers home loans at interest rates starting from 6.90 per cent for a loan of up to ₹30 lakh and 7 per cent for above ₹30 lakh.
CS Setty, MD (Retail & Digital Banking), SBI, said, “With SBI’s lowest interest on home loans, we believe this move will facilitate and encourage home buyers to plan their dream house.”
