Note that for some of these effective home loan rates, additional concessions for female borrowers have also been taken into account. Suppose, for example, that SBI allows a 5 basis point concession to female borrowers. Additionally, loans secured through the bank’s digital platform are also eligible for an additional 5 basis point discount.

Points to Note for Getting a Lucrative Home Loan Interest Rate in India

Remember that home loans are long-term loans lasting 15-30 years, so focusing on the best deal makes a lot of sense. So here are some checkpoints that can help you get a lucrative home loan.

An interest rate differential of even 0.5% means a lot in the case of long term loans such as home loans which are usually high priced loans of over Rs. 20 lakhs to several crores.

For better deals, you can add a co-applicant who is a female borrower to get the concession offered to them.

Make a higher down payment by more than 20-25% so that the loan to value ratio is kept low, which then increases your chances of getting the lowest possible interest rate, provided you also hold a good credit record/score.

Home ownership savings loans can still be chosen by those without a fixed income. These, however, incur a higher cost of 0.15 to 1% compared to regular loans.
