Home loan rates: SBI vs HDFC vs ICICI Bank vs Kotak Mahindra Bank

Image
Here’s a look at the lowest home loan interest rates of some leading banks A home loan is probably the biggest loan that one takes. Not only in terms of the loan amount, but also tenures, which can be 15 years or more. The total final amount that one pays can be double of what was borrowed. But a home loan is among the cheapest loans available, and usually it is the only way a person can buy a house. A home loan is called a ‘good’ loan because it helps you acquire a tangible asset that can appreciate over the long term. It makes sense to buy a house if you plan to live in it. This is also the reason, apart from the fact that many housing projects in India continue to be delayed by many years, why financial advisers say that one should buy a ready-to-move-in house. Here’s a look at the lowest home loan interest rates of some leading banks.

Image
NEW DELHI: HDB Financial Services, the non-banking financial arm of HDFC Bank , has shelved its plans to float an initial public offering (IPO) and instead plans to raise over Rs 8,600 crore via debt.
