[ecis2016.org] The announcement by the bank comes nearly one and a half months after it cut lending rates by 25 basis points.
State-run Punjab National Bank (PNB) has cut its home loan interest rate by five basis points to bring it to 6.5%. This is the second time in one and a half month that the public sector bank has decided to lower its repo-rate linked lending rates at a time when all leading banks in the country are vying with one another to offer the best home loans to home buyers during the ongoing festive season.

On September 17, 2021, the state lender had announced a reduction of 25 basis points in its repo rate linked home loans, bringing the home loan interest to 6.55%. With the recent cut, PNB has now joined the league of banks like Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bank of Baroda that are offering home loans at 6.5% annual interest. The lowest home loan interest is, however, being charged by another public lender, Union Bank of India. Union Bank is currently offering home loans at 6.40% interest.
Aside from visiting a PNB branch in person, home loan borrowers can give a missed call to the lender to apply for home loans. “Give a missed call at 1800-180-5555, and let our customer service providers reach out to you with some of the best deals,” PBN said in a tweet.

Under its Festive Bonanza Offer, announced on September 17, 2021, PNB will now charge 6.55% interest on its home loans linked to the RBI monitored repo rate. The current rate comes into effect after a reduction of 25 basis points in the repo rate-linked home loans.
PBN will also charge 6.55 annual interest on all its home loans above Rs 50 lakhs, irrespective of any upper limit. The rates, however, will be linked to a borrower’s credit score – the best rate will be available to borrowers with credit scores of 750 and above. This means, a borrower with a poor credit score will have to pay a premium over and above the best rate.
“Home loan ownership will become more affordable to the public in view of this offer of a full waiver of service charges and a low interest rate starting from 6.55%,” said PNB, in a press release.
The reduction, which will also be applicable on home loan balance transfers, makes Punjab National Bank offering the lowest home loan interest among public banks. Overall, Kotak Mahindra Bank is offering the lowest rate of interest on home loans at 6.50% annually. PNB is also offering a complete waiver of home loan processing fee under its festive bonanza offer.

PNB home loan for self-employed and professionals
Like most banks, PNB imposed an occupation-linked premium on its home loans. This means, while salaried individuals are offered the best rate of interest, other types of borrowers have to pay additional interest, over and above the lowest home loan interest rate. This is primarily because lending high-intensity amounts to self-employed and professionals is considered risky.
