New Delhi: Largest public lender State Bank of India (SBI) on Thursday lowered home loan rate by 0.05% to 8.30%, the lowest in the industry. It has also reduced the auto loan by a similar percentage point to 8.70%.

On the rate reduction, P K Gupta, SBI MD retail banking, said, “With this reduction in rates, we are offering lowest rates for most of our product offering in 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.” Salaried customers.
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 basis points (0.05%) in all other loan brackets. “Over and above of 8.30% rate, an eligible home loan customer can also avail of an interest subsidy of Rs 2.67 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana scheme,” the statement said.
For a car loan customer, interest ranges from 8.70% to 9.20% compared to the earlier 8.75-9.25%. The exact rate depends on the amount of loan and the credit score of the individual, it said.
