The move by the mortgage lender comes more than a month after the RBI, on June 4, 2021, decided to maintain a status quo on key lending rates in order to support the economy at a time when the second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic has derailed hopes of a speedy recovery after the first wave.

The low rate offered by India’s largest insurer-backed housing finance company, however, is available to borrowers for a limited period till August 31, 2021. Borrowers can apply for LIC Housing Finance home loans through the mortgage lender’s app, HomY. This means there is no need for the applicant to visit the LIC Housing Finance branches to get their home loans approved.

To get the benefit of the low rates by LIC Housing finance, the borrower will have to get his loan approved by that date and get it disbursed by September 30, 2021.

The highest tenure for such a loan could go as far as 30 years. In case the home loan amount is over Rs 50 lakhs and up to Rs 1 crore, the interest rates would be 6.9%. For non-salaried customers engaged in personal business, the lowest home loan interest is 7%, irrespective of the loan amount.
